    Intraspecific predator interference promotes biodiversity in ecosystems

    Ju Kang, Shijie Zhang ... Xin Wang
    Intraspecific predator interference enables a wide range of consumer species to coexist with a limited variety of resources, explaining the paradox of the plankton and species diversity patterns across ecosystems.

    Polarised moonlight guides nocturnal bull ants home

    Cody A Freas, Ajay Narenda ... Ken Cheng
    Large eyed bull ants are able to use the exceedingly dim lunar polarised light pattern in the overhead sky to navigate back to the nest at night.

    The ribosomal RNA m5C methyltransferase NSUN-1 modulates healthspan and oogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Clemens Heissenberger, Jarod A Rollins ... Markus Schosserer
    In nematode worms, NSUN-1 methylates ribosomal RNA and influences phenotypes related to aging, stress resistance, germ line development, and cuticle integrity by regulating translation of specific mRNAs.

    Algal-fungal symbiosis leads to photosynthetic mycelium

    Zhi-Yan Du, Krzysztof Zienkiewicz ... Gregory M Bonito
    The capacity for symbiosis between photosynthetic microalgae and early diverging lineages fungi was demonstrated with microscopy and stable isotope exchange of carbon and nitrogen.

    Steroidogenesis and androgen/estrogen signaling pathways are altered in in vitro matured testicular tissues of prepubertal mice

    Laura Moutard, Caroline Goudin ... Christine Rondanino
    Although complete mouse in vitro spermatogenesis can be achieved, failure of adult Leydig cell development, with accumulation of progesterone and estradiol, androstenedione deficiency, deregulation of steroidogenic, and steroid target gene expression, were highlighted in organotypic cultures, even with hCG.

    Primary cilia deficiency in neural crest cells models anterior segment dysgenesis in mouse

    Céline Portal, Panteleimos Rompolas ... Carlo Iomini
    Primary cilia of neural crest-derived cells mediate Indian hedgehog-induced signal transduction in the periocular mesenchyme and are required for normal anterior segment development.

    Synaptic targets of photoreceptors specialized to detect color and skylight polarization in Drosophila

    Emil Kind, Kit D Longden ... Mathias F Wernet
    The fly connectome reveals dedicated cell types for processing specific kinds of visual information such as color or skylight polarization.

    Recurrent evolution of high virulence in isolated populations of a DNA virus

    Tom Hill, Robert L Unckless
    The same host–virus interactions can evolve multiple times in nature, due to the high effective mutation rate of viruses, and provide interesting systems of study.

    A connectome of the Drosophila central complex reveals network motifs suitable for flexible navigation and context-dependent action selection

    Brad K Hulse, Hannah Haberkern ... Vivek Jayaraman
    An analysis of the first complete synaptic resolution connectome of Drosophila's navigation circuit uncovers neural network motifs supporting broadly relevant sensorimotor computations.

    Cytoneme delivery of Sonic Hedgehog from ligand-producing cells requires Myosin 10 and a Dispatched-BOC/CDON co-receptor complex

    Eric T Hall, Miriam E Dillard ... Stacey K Ogden
    Sonic Hedgehog is transported inside cytonemes with co-receptors that promote contact-mediated signal delivery to initiate rapid, receptor-dependent responses in recipient cells.
