   Microbes with higher metabolic independence are enriched in human gut microbiomes under stress

   Iva Veseli, Yiqun T Chen ... A Murat Eren

   Higher biosynthetic capacity of gut microbes in individuals diagnosed with noncommunicable diseases or taking antibiotics suggests that diversity loss and 'dysbiosis' result from microbiome restructuring in response to ecosystem disruption.

   Effects of blood meal source and seasonality on reproductive traits of Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae)

   Kevin Alen Rucci, Gabriel Barco ... Adrián Díaz

   Interaction between blood meal source and seasonality shapes reproductive outputs in Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes, providing insight into mechanisms driving seasonal host shift.

   Quantifying feral pig interactions to inform disease transmission networks

   Tatiana Proboste, Abigail Turnlund ... Ricardo J Soares-Magalhaes

   Distinct seasonal peaks and sex-specific interactions reveal that cohesive female groups drive rapid local spread while male connectors facilitate intergroup transmission, underscoring the need for tailored disease control strategies.

   The neuropeptide sulfakinin is a peripheral regulator of insect behavioral switch between mating and foraging

   Hong-Fei Li, Bao Dong ... Hong-Bo Jiang

   Sulfakinin-receptor1 signaling system alters the expression of odorant receptors in antenna to modulate the behavioral switch between foraging and mating in the oriental fruit fly.

   A circadian clock drives behavioral activity in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and provides a potential mechanism for seasonal timing

   Lukas Hüppe, Dominik Bahlburg ... Bettina Meyer

   Behavioral experiments provide strong evidence that krill swimming behavior is controlled by biological clocks throughout the year, revealing a key mechanism for adaptation to high-latitude habitats.
