The spatial interactions between humans, large carnivores and herbivores cascade down in a complex but predictable way to lower trophic levels affecting regeneration of tree species in a temperate forest.

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A is stimulated by the ribosomal pre-initiation complex and promotes the recruitment of mRNAs regardless of their degree of structure.

Behavioral, optogenetic, and computational modeling analyses show that the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans uses a relaxation oscillation mechanism to generate rhythmic locomotor patterns.
HS-AFM and Principal Component Analysis provide experimental evidence to substantiate the 'proof of principle' regarding the flexible helical twists of actin filaments that regulate the functions of actin-binding proteins.
The physical interaction network encoded in the multi-domain protein native structure handles the trade-off between the fast, stable folding and the efficient, reliable function.
Pathogens, particularly viruses, target the same genes over deep evolutionary time, resulting in shared signatures of positive selection and transcriptional responses at the same genes.
The neural population of the Aplysia's pedal ganglion are a low-dimensional spiral attractor, and the parameters of the attractor directly define the properties of the Aplysia's escape locomotion behaviour.
Phase-locking of hippocampal theta and gamma waves has been proposed to support memory formation, but an analysis using robust statistical methods finds no convincing evidence for the phenomenon.

A variant of SELEX introduced here to induce abiotic evolution in a molecular system enables to observe and study speciation, the nature of fitness, and the interplay between use of resources and interactions between individuals.

Variation in patterns of floral UV pigmentation is controlled by a single transcription factor in sunflower and affects both pollinator attraction and responses to environmental stresses.
