    Reconstructing the phylogeny and evolutionary history of freshwater fishes (Nemacheilidae) across Eurasia since early Eocene

    Vendula Bohlen Šlechtová, Tomáš Dvořák ... Joerg Bohlen
    The first comprehensive reconstruction of the evolutionary history of freshwater animals, on example of family Nemacheilidae, across Eurasia with the identification of the main tectonic, geological, and climatic factors influencing it has been described.

    Interdependence between SEB-3 receptor and NLP-49 peptides shifts across predator-induced defensive behavioral modes in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Kathleen T Quach, Gillian A Hughes, Sreekanth H Chalasani
    As Caenorhabditis elegans shifts from reactive to increasingly proactive defensive strategies, nuanced changes in interaction between SEB-3 receptor and NLP-49 peptides regulate the transitions between defensive behaviors.

    Genetic diversity affects ecosystem functions across trophic levels as much as species diversity, but in an opposite direction

    Laura Fargeot, Camille Poesy ... Blanchet Simon
    Genetic diversity is strongly associated with ecosystem functions across natural trophic chains, showing that it can be as important as species diversity.

    First evidence for the evolution of host manipulation by tumors during the long-term vertical transmission of tumor cells in Hydra oligactis

    Justine Boutry, Océane Rieu ... Fréderic Thomas
    Transmissible tumors in Hydra can manipulate host phenotype by inducing the growth of supernumerary tentacles, enhancing host foraging efficiency and promoting tumor vertical transmission, akin to manipulative parasites.

    Multidimensionality of tree communities structure host-parasitoid networks and their phylogenetic composition

    Ming-Qiang Wang, Shi-Kun Guo ... Chao-Dong Zhu
    Tree diversity and canopy cover shape host-parasitoid communities and network structure through phylogenetic links in a species-rich forest ecosystems.

    Combining radio-telemetry and radar measurements to test optimal foraging in an aerial insectivore bird

    Itai Bloch, David Troupin ... Nir Sapir
    Little Swifts dynamically adjust their foraging behavior to aerial insect abundance, revealing key insights into predator–prey interactions and optimal foraging strategies in aerial environments.

    Passive accumulation of alkaloids in inconspicuously colored frogs refines the evolutionary paradigm of acquired chemical defenses

    Rebecca D Tarvin, Jeffrey L Coleman ... Richard W Fitch
    The detection of low quantities of alkaloids in putatively nontoxic species of poison frogs sheds light on early evolutionary stages of chemical defense in animals.
