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.
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.

Characterization of the molecular mechanisms that enable azelaic acid, a secondary metabolite produced by photosynthetic organisms, to promote or inhibit different bacterial populations.
The application of real-time genomics by long-read nanopore sequencing to environmental samples creates a new trajectory for non-invasive genomics-based monitoring of critically endangered wildlife.

A synthetic, prospective article considers how the fields of sensory ecology and collective behaviour can combine when considering animal collective movements and interactions, and how these fields can inspire each other to advance understanding of animal behaviour, adaptation and evolution.
The first comprehensive study on the regulation mechanism of miR-252 and temperature receptor CcTRPM on insect seasonal polyphenism will also conducive to designing a new method for pest control.

Following the last deglaciation in the North Atlantic, DNA evidence shows Betulaceae colonization was consistently delayed compared to Salicaceae, which may serve as an analog for modern global warming.
