    High-resolution kinetics of herbivore-induced plant volatile transfer reveal clocked response patterns in neighboring plants

    Jamie Mitchel Waterman, Tristan Michael Cofer ... Matthias Erb
    Real-time volatile emission kinetics reveal stress volatiles emitted from herbivore-damaged plants can sequentially prime and induce defense responses in undamaged plants following distinct temporal patterns.

    Species and habitat specific changes in bird activity in an urban environment during Covid 19 lockdown

    Congnan Sun, Yoel Hassin ... Yossi Yovel
    Bird activity during Covid 19 lockdown changed depending on species and site, as well as on environmental parameters and heterospecific (e.g., human) activity, revealing a complex and dynamic urban ecological system.

    Unprecedented yet gradual nature of first millennium CE intercontinental crop plant dispersal revealed in ancient Negev desert refuse

    Daniel Fuks, Yoel Melamed ... Ehud Weiss
    New archaeobotanical data from Negev Highland rubbish middens demonstrate that crop diversity in the Southern Levant expanded more during the first millennium CE than in any earlier period, yet with minimal consequences for consumption and production patterns.

    Investigating macroecological patterns in coarse-grained microbial communities using the stochastic logistic model of growth

    William R Shoemaker, Jacopo Grilli
    Microbial macroecological patterns under coarse-graining are captured by a null model of ecology, a result which was leveraged to successfully predict the relationship between fine and coarse-grained diversity.

    Binding and sequestration of poison frog alkaloids by a plasma globulin

    Aurora Alvarez-Buylla, Marie-Therese Fischer ... Lauren A O'Connell
    Alkaloid-binding globulin (ABG) is a novel protein discovered in the plasma of poison frogs that transports many alkaloids, with structural homology to mammalian hormone carriers and amphibian biliverdin-binding serpin.

    Role of immigrant males and muzzle contacts in the uptake of a novel food by wild vervet monkeys

    Pooja Dongre, Gaëlle Lanté ... Erica van de Waal
    New immigrants triggered fast uptake of a novel food in groupmates, who obtained information about it through muzzle contacts, opening up new questions about the role of dispersers in information flow around a population.
