A global map of environmental suitability for Zika virus and the estimated population living at potential risk can help refine public health guidelines, travel advisories and intervention strategies at a crucial time in the global emergence of this arbovirus.

Fish environmental DNA remaining in a cup of seawater provides information about interaction strengths among marine fish species in nature, highlighting the potential impact of global climate change on community dynamics and stability.

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.

Biperiden, but not amisulpride, delays auditory mismatch responses during environmental stability, suggesting a differential sensitivity of auditory statistical learning to muscarinic versus dopaminergic receptor status which could prove useful for developing tests that predict an individual's response to antipsychotic treatment.

A computational model of the opponent neural architecture the basal ganglia, in tandem with adaptive dopamine modulation, exhibits robust advantages over traditional learning algorithms and ties together seemingly aberrant behavioral patterns resulting from dopamine and environmental manipulations across species.

Viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, retain infectivity longer at low temperatures and extreme relative humidities because these conditions slow down the chemical reactions that inactivate those viruses.

Selection for undifferentiated multicellularity emerges in an evolutionary cell-based model because a collective of cells performs chemotaxis better than single cells in a noisy environment.

Two-photon Ca²⁺ imaging and computational modeling reveal major developmental trajectories of spontaneous activity in developing CA1 and identify important roles of network bi-stability and synaptic input characteristics for hippocampal burstiness before eye opening.

Fluctuation of biomarkers is a novel way of studying system stability during stable and unstable states of health and disease, revealing the systems' ability to cope with external perturbations.

The evolution of the light-sensitive visual pigment rhodopsin involved functional tradeoffs that may have sacrificed rod photosensitivity for active-state protein stability to mitigate phototoxicity in tetrapods, but not in fishes.
