   Divergent sensory investment mirrors potential speciation via niche partitioning across Drosophila

   Ian W Keesey et al.

   Phototaxis and courtship behavioral preferences reflect strong correlation with differences in olfactory and visual nervous system investment across five monophyletic Drosophila species, and could help explain their speciation events.

   Drosophila seminal sex peptide associates with rival as well as own sperm, providing SP function in polyandrous females

   Snigdha Misra, Mariana F Wolfner

   A seminal protein from a mating-male can bind sperm previously stored in his mate, providing direct benefits to the sperm from the prior male that mated with her.

    Transient role of the middle ear as a lower jaw support across mammals

    Neal Anthwal et al.

    The incus of the middle ear plays a role in supporting the lower jaw prior to the formation of the mammalian jaw joint allowing early feeding in monotremes and marsupials.
