Strong selection by aphids only weakly affects epigenetic and phenotypic variation within three Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, demonstrating limited potential for adaptation by epigenetic differentiation within genotypes in this model species.

The rapid development of pesticide resistance in a mite across wide geographical areas is linked to the independent and repeated emergence of multiple mutations in target genes.

Experiments manipulations show that trophic eggs can suppress queen development and therefore regulate caste determination in ants.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of thousands of yeast progeny reveals how gene expression differences and heritability drive phenotypic diversity.

Engraved features found within the Dinaledi Subsystem are interpreted as being made by Homo naledi in the absence of evidence of other candidate makers.

A large-scale survey across animals reveals no general association between genome size expansion and the relaxation of natural selection.

A theoretical framework for analyzing the evolution of nonlinear cooperative interactions is taking shape.

Long-term standardized data collection on wild western chimpanzees reveals late-life changes in stone tool use, and the extent of these changes varies between individuals.

Exponential nucleic acid replication can occur isothermally in a prebiotically plausible setting that accumulates and simultaneously separates the strands of nucleic acids through evaporation-driven flows at the gas–water interface.
