    Deciphering deep-sea chemosynthetic symbiosis by single-nucleus RNA-sequencing

    Hao Wang, Kai He ... Chaolun Li
    A cellular map of a deep-sea mussel gill unveils how distinct cell types collaborate to cultivate intracellular symbiotic bacteria, providing insights into host–symbiont interactions and environmental adaptation in bivalves.

    Landing force reveals new form of motion-induced sound camouflage in a wild predator

    Kim Schalcher, Estelle Milliet ... Emily LC Shepard
    Bio-logging reveals that barn owls enhance hunting success by using man-made poles to silently approach their prey, emphasizing a link between predator-prey interactions and land-use in the agricultural landscape.

    Adipokinetic hormone signaling mediates the enhanced fecundity of Diaphorina citri infected by ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’

    Jiayun Li, Paul Holford ... Xiaoge Nian
    Molecular mechanism that Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus improves the lipid metabolism and fecundity of Diaphorina citri through adipokinetic hormone and its receptor.

    Coordinated molecular and ecological adaptations underlie a highly successful parasitoid

    Lan Pang, Gangqi Fang ... Jianhua Huang
    The parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae has evolved both molecular adaptions (venom proteins and teratocytes) and ecological strategies (tolerance of intraspecific and avoidance of interspecific competition) to successfully parasitize Drosophila suzukii.

    The trunk replaces the longer mandible as the main feeding organ in elephant evolution

    Chunxiao Li, Tao Deng ... Shiqi Wang
    The long mandibles were gradually replaced by more flexible trunks in the evolution of proboscideans.

    The larva and adult of Helicoverpa armigera use differential gustatory receptors to sense sucrose

    Shuai-Shuai Zhang, Pei-Chao Wang ... Chen-Zhu Wang
    The sweet taste receptors in the cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) are evolved to adapt towards the larval and adult foods with different types and amounts of sugar.
