    Upstream open reading frames buffer translational variability during Drosophila evolution and development

    Yuanqiang Sun, Yuange Duan ... Jian Lu
    Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) function as regulatory elements that buffer translation variability, stabilizing protein expression across animal developmental stages and evolutionary timescales.

    A suite of selective pressures supports the maintenance of alleles of a Drosophila immune peptide

    Sarah R Mullinax, Andrea M Darby ... Robert L Unckless
    Genetic variation in an immune peptide is maintained by multiple selective forces including an interplay between systemic immunity, sex, and the microbiome.

    Decoupling both local and global abundance from global range size, challenging the abundance-occupancy relationship in birds

    Shinichi Nakagawa, William K Cornwell, Corey T Callaghan
    Analysis of 3 billion bird observations finds no intrinsic abundance-occupancy relationship, overturning a famous macroecological rule and redefining approaches to biodiversity assessment and conservation.

    Brochosomes as an antireflective camouflage coating for leafhoppers

    Wei Wu, Qianzhuo Mao ... Jian-Ping Chen
    Leafhoppers evade predators using nanostructured brochosomes that reduce ultraviolet reflectance through morphology shaped by four novel structural proteins originating from evolutionary duplication–divergence processes.
