    Group size and composition influence collective movement in a highly social terrestrial bird

    Danai Papageorgiou, Damien Roger Farine
    High-resolution GPS data revealed a quadratic relationship between group size and movement, with vulturine guineafowl groups of intermediate size exhibiting the largest home-range size and greater variation in site use.

    Habitat and social factors shape individual decisions and emergent group structure during baboon collective movement

    Ariana Strandburg-Peshkin, Damien R Farine ... Iain D Couzin
    For baboons on the move, habitat features across multiple spatial scales combine with social interactions to impact the movements of individuals, ultimately shaping the structure of the whole group.

    Spatially coordinated dynamic gene transcription in living pituitary tissue

    Karen Featherstone, Kirsty Hey ... Julian RE Davis
    Quantitative statistical modelling reveals local coordination of stochastic gene transcription dynamics in pituitary tissue, which is relevant for integrated tissue responses to physiological stimuli.

    Patterns of call communication between group-housed zebra finches change during the breeding cycle

    Lisa F Gill, Wolfgang Goymann ... Manfred Gahr
    Call-based vocal communication of individually recorded zebra finches changes in social groups across reproductive stages and is related with successful egg laying.

    Behavioural diversity of bonobo prey preference as a potential cultural trait

    Liran Samuni, Franziska Wegdell, Martin Surbeck
    Bonobo groups that share overlapping ranging areas and engage in regular social exchange show "behavioural group identity" of hunting techniques in the absence of local ecological variation.

    Potential herd protection against Plasmodium falciparum infections conferred by mass antimalarial drug administrations

    Daniel M Parker, Sai Thein Than Tun ... François Nosten
    Given sufficient population adherence, mass drug administration for falciparum malaria can provide group level benefits, also known as ‘herd effects’.

    Living with relatives offsets the harm caused by pathogens in natural populations

    Hanna M Bensch, Emily A O'Connor, Charlie Kinahan Cornwallis
    Experiments show that pathogens spread more easily among relatives causing increased mortality, but such costs are cancelled out by the benefits of living with kin when pathogens are rare.

    Multiple kinesins induce tension for smooth cargo transport

    Marco Tjioe, Saurabh Shukla ... Paul R Selvin
    After developing a force-gliding assay with nanometer and piconewton precision, it is concluded that multiple kinesins driving a single cargo induces tension, resulting in smooth cargo transport, even with roadblocks.

    Division of Labour: Losing out to improve group fitness

    Jos Kramer, Rolf Kümmerli
    A mathematical model provides clues as to why members of a group divide tasks between them even when specialisation reduces the performance of individuals.

    Interneuronal mechanisms of hippocampal theta oscillations in a full-scale model of the rodent CA1 circuit

    Marianne J Bezaire, Ivan Raikov ... Ivan Soltesz
    Spontaneous theta oscillations and interneuron-specific phase preferences emerge spontaneously in a full-scale model of the isolated hippocampal CA1 subfield, corroborating and extending recent experimental findings.
