   Vocal communication is tied to interpersonal arousal coupling in caregiver-infant dyads

   Sam Wass, Emily Phillips ... Louise Goupil

   Infants' vocalisations are contingent on their own stress physiology, and alter the inter-personal dynamics of how stress states are shared across the infant-caregiver dyad.

   Adaptation dynamics between copy-number and point mutations

   Isabella Tomanek, Călin C Guet

   In bacteria, frequent adaptive copy-number mutations can hinder the fixation of beneficial point mutations and hence the divergence of duplicated DNA sequences.

   Complementary evolution of coding and noncoding sequence underlies mammalian hairlessness

   Amanda Kowalczyk, Maria Chikina, Nathan Clark

   Studying the genomes of mammals with sparse hair covering identifies specific genes and regulatory regions responsible for the formation of hair and skin, some of which were previously unrecognized.
