A deeply conserved feature of complexin's secondary structure underlies its inhibitory function despite poor primary sequence conservation.

Evolution of multiple closely related strains with host-pathogen-like interactions but only one niche and no tradeoffs, can give rise to a spatiotemporally chaotic ecological state that continually diversifies even with generalist mutations that slow the evolution.

Laboratory experiments using a microbial community and mathematical modeling reveal how environmental disturbances can predictably alter the diversity and composition of an ecosystem.

Linguistic features are encoded more strongly during language comprehension than when comprehension is absent, and high word entropy (less constraining context) enhances the encoding of lower-level acoustic and linguistic features while low word entropy suppresses it.

Rejuvenation of corneal epithelium in homeostasis is determined by the interplay between corneal cells replicative lifespan and the spatial correlation between cell replication and cell removal.

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.

Maternal positional information in the fly embryo can be read rapidly in spite of the gene-expression bottleneck and general examples of regulatory architectures that combine speed and accuracy are provided.

A trait-based model of dryland vegetation uncovers the roles of spatial self-organization in maintaining biodiversity in a changing climate and offers novel ways of managing ecosystems at risk.

Theoretical and experimental evidence that Hh signaling dynamics balances robust positioning and sharpness of different target genes in the Drosophila wing disc.
