    Foxtrot migration and dynamic over-wintering range of an Arctic raptor

    Ivan Pokrovsky, Teja Curk ... Martin Wikelski
    The dynamic over-wintering range of migratory birds, resulting from the newly described 'foxtrot migration' pattern, reveals potential errors in single mid-winter population assessments and highlights implications for their conservation status.

    Camouflage: Tiny particles help insects evade predators

    Lin Wang, Tak-Sing Wong
    By reducing the reflection of ultraviolet light, hollow nanoparticles called brochosomes help to protect leafhoppers from predators.

    Polysaccharide breakdown products drive degradation-dispersal cycles of foraging bacteria through changes in metabolism and motility

    Astrid Katharina Maria Stubbusch, Johannes M Keegstra ... Glen G D'Souza
    Degradation products of polysaccharides trigger partial population dispersal and alter cellular metabolism, shaping the marine biomass decomposition by foraging bacteria.

    Contrasting responses to aridity by different-sized decomposers cause similar decomposition rates across a precipitation gradient

    Viraj R Torsekar, Nevo Sagi ... Dror Hawlena
    Contrasting climatic dependencies of macrofauna and microorganisms generate similar whole-community decomposition rates across a precipitation gradient, plausibly resolving the longstanding puzzle of why arid-land litter decomposition is decoupled from precipitation.

    Does bumblebee preference of continuous over interrupted strings in string-pulling tasks indicate means-end comprehension?

    Chao Wen, Yuyi Lu ... Lars Chittka
    Behavioral studies reveal that bumblebees distinguish between continuous and interrupted strings by using a combination of image matching and associative learning.

    Fine-scale tracking reveals visual field use for predator detection and escape in collective foraging of pigeon flocks

    Mathilde Delacoux, Fumihiro Kano
    Foveal vision in pigeons plays a crucial role in predator detection while the flock is collectively foraging and being vigilant.

    Developmental stage shapes the realized energy landscape for a flight specialist

    Elham Nourani, Louise Faure ... Kamran Safi
    The realized energy landscape expands as animals improve their movement behaviors with age.
