Large eyed bull ants are able to use the exceedingly dim lunar polarised light pattern in the overhead sky to navigate back to the nest at night.

Differential colonization-extinction dynamics associated with species thermal preferences provide support for dispersal limitation and microclimate buffering as primary proxies by which habitat fragmentation mediates thermophilization in birds.

A novel theory demonstrates how variation in the thermal responses of microbial populations can alter coexistance and thus explain patterns of richness across thermal gradients.

Protein nutritional requirements decrease predictively with mass throughout ontogeny across the animal kingdom.

Integrated ecological and genetic methods show that Bursicon signaling pathway and miR-6012 regulate the transition from summer-form to winter-form in Cacopsylla chinensis through affecting cuticle pigment and cuticle thickness.
