   Cardenolide toxin diversity impacts monarch butterfly growth and sequestration

   Anurag A Agrawal, Amy P Hastings, Paola Rubiano-Buitrago

   Confirming coevolutionary theory, monarch butterfly caterpillars show impaired growth and toxin sequestration when feeding on realistic cardenolide mixtures from their milkweed host plants.

   Agent-based modeling reveals how bats navigate dense group emergences

   Omer Mazar, Yossi Yovel

   Acoustic jamming during bat emergence is weaker than expected because signal redundancy, echo integration, and simple movement rules enable robust navigation, as demonstrated by an agent‑based sensory-motor model.

   Rift Valley fever virus dynamics in a transhumant cattle system in The Gambia

   Essa Jarra, Divine Ekwem ... Daniel T Haydon

   Endemic Rift Valley fever virus circulation in The Gambia is driven by seasonal cattle movements and eco-region differences, highlighting livestock mobility as a key target for effective control strategies.

    Kinematics and morphological correlates of descent strategies in arboreal mammals suggest early upright postures in euprimates

    Severine LD Toussaint, Dionisios Youlatos, John A Nyakatura

    Vertical locomotion in arboreal mammals is shaped by a complex interplay of body mass, limb proportions, grasping abilities, and head mass, and primates use distinct upright postures during descents.
