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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
