Detailed tracking of live predators attacking live schools of prey reveals the crucial interplay between predator attack strategy and prey behaviour and positioning in determining the predation risk within mobile animal groups.

New technology for manipulating genes in Drosophila facilitates gene tagging and precise modification of virtually any gene.

Optimization of homology donor DNA production and integration schemes facilitates homologous recombination in vivo and in cell culture in Drosophila melanogaster..

Activity levels in anterior and posterior cholinergic basal forebrain neurons are associated with distinct aspects of global brain state, sensory salience, reward expectation, and aversive reinforcement learning.

Botanists have long speculated about the adaptive value of visitor-triggered stamen movements, and here experiments that compare flowers with and without mobile stamens demonstrate large effects of stamen movements on pollen export, receipt, and nectar costs per pollen transport.

Taste cell renewal begins at birth and is promoted by sonic hedgehog that alters the expression of regulators of cell migration and adhesion that may allow entry of new cells into buds.

Through different coding strategies, irregular and regular otolith afferents preferentially encode translational self-motion and changes in static head orientation relative to gravity.

A match between neuronal variability and tuning enables optimized coding of natural self-motion in early vestibular pathways.

New construct designs and gene targeting strategies from the Gene Disruption Project allow efficient tagging of almost all Drosophila genes.

An unbiased proteomic approach identifies a new regulator of AMPA receptor trafficking providing additional insight into synaptic transmission and plasticity.
