    Food-washing monkeys recognize the law of diminishing returns

    Jessica E Rosien, Luke D Fannin ... Amanda Tan
    Monkeys are sensitive to foods coated with tooth-damaging sand and will invest time and energy to eliminate sand, but dominance rank affects the effort allocated to cleaning behaviors.

    Variation in albumin glycation rates in birds suggests resistance to relative hyperglycaemia rather than conformity to the pace of life syndrome hypothesis

    Adrián Moreno Borrallo, Sarahi Jaramillo Ortiz ... Francois Criscuolo
    Bird species with higher plasma glucose show comparatively lower albumin glycation, suggesting the evolution of glycation resistance mechanisms, and terrestrial carnivores present higher glycation than omnivores.

    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.
