    The evolution of distributed sensing and collective computation in animal populations

    Andrew M Hein, Sara Brin Rosenthal ... Iain D Couzin
    A computational model shows that natural selection can cause populations to evolve a distinctive population-level phenotype: the ability to transition between collective states in response to the environment.

    Quantifying changes in the T cell receptor repertoire during thymic development

    Francesco Camaglia, Arie Ryvkin ... Nir Friedman
    Sequence signatures can be used to discriminate between selected and non-selected immune repertoires at different stages only at the collective population level but not at the level of single cells.

    Controlling periodic long-range signalling to drive a morphogenetic transition

    Hugh Z Ford, Angelika Manhart, Jonathan R Chubb
    Cells control signal circulation to set the frequency of information transmitted over tissue scales.

    Fine-scale tracking reveals visual field use for predator detection and escape in collective foraging of pigeon flocks

    Mathilde Delacoux, Fumihiro Kano
    Foveal vision in pigeons plays a crucial role in predator detection while the flock is collectively foraging and being vigilant.

    Positive and negative incentive contrasts lead to relative value perception in ants

    Stephanie Wendt, Kim S Strunk ... Tomer J Czaczkes
    Relative value perception, a basic tenant of Behavioural Economics, is demonstrated in an insect, and further shown to be driven by cognitive processes and induced by private and social information.

    A circuit motif in the zebrafish hindbrain for a two alternative behavioral choice to turn left or right

    Minoru Koyama, Francesca Minale ... Joseph R Fetcho
    Competition between neurons on the left and right sides of the brain drives the decision to turn left versus right in zebrafish, and potentially all vertebrates.

    Spatial modulation of individual behaviors enables an ordered structure of diverse phenotypes during bacterial group migration

    Yang Bai, Caiyun He ... Xiongfei Fu
    Bacterial population can coordinate individuals of different phenotypes by spatial modulation of their run-and-tumble behaviors, resulting in collective group migration with an ordered structure of phenotypes.

    Revealing an outward-facing open conformational state in a CLC Cl/H+ exchange transporter

    Chandra M Khantwal, Sherwin J Abraham ... Merritt Maduke
    The characterization of a previously unidentified “outward-facing open” conformational state provides a new framework for understanding the CLC transport mechanism.

    Sensory collectives in natural systems

    Hannah J Williams, Vivek H Sridhar ... Amanda D Melin
    A synthetic, prospective article considers how the fields of sensory ecology and collective behaviour can combine when considering animal collective movements and interactions, and how these fields can inspire each other to advance understanding of animal behaviour, adaptation and evolution.

    Transiently heritable fates and quorum sensing drive early IFN-I response dynamics

    Laura C Van Eyndhoven, Vincent PG Verberne ... Jurjen Tel
    Early IFN-I response dynamics are initiated in only fractions of cells, of which their epigenetic profile is transiently heritable and subject to the effects of quorum sensing.
