Differential colonization-extinction dynamics associated with species thermal preferences provide support for dispersal limitation and microclimate buffering as primary proxies by which habitat fragmentation mediates thermophilization in birds.

Major differences among the main spinal V1 inhibitory interneuron subgroups were revealed based on neurogenesis, circuit placement, and motoneuron targeting, and Foxp2-V1 interneurons were identified tightly coupled to limb control.

Discovery of critical brain nodes explaining how sevoflurane-induced general anesthesia works and how the post-anesthesia stress responses appear.

Long-lived tropical trees in Southeast Asia accumulate somatic mutations in a manner that is dependent on time, rather than growth rate.

Ciliated zooplankton larvae sense pressure by ciliary photoreceptor cells, which increase the beating of locomotor cilia via a serotonergic motor circuit leading to rapid upward swimming during barotaxis.

The gene-regulatory enhancers h56D and S5E2 restrict transgene expression to GABAergic and parvalbumin-positive interneurons, respectively, across marmoset cortical layers, thus representing a promising tool for circuit dissection in non-human primates.

The genetic 'fossil record' of a retroviral lineage over >25 million years of evolution reveals the profound consequences of an ancient recombination event on viral replication mechanisms and genome structure, and identifies an ancient interspecies viral transmission.
