    Investments in photoreceptors compete with investments in optics to determine eye design

    Francisco JH Heras, Simon B Laughlin
    Allocating space, materials and energy to an eye's optics and photoreceptor array is a major factor in eye design that explains obvious differences between simple eyes and compound eyes.

    Fitness drivers of division of labor in vertebrates

    Irene García-Ruiz, Dustin R Rubenstein
    Direct survival benefits in larger groups rather than kin-selected indirect fitness primarily drive the evolution of division of labor in cooperatively breeding vertebrates, particularly under harsh environmental conditions.

    Identification and comparison of orthologous cell types from primate embryoid bodies shows limits of marker gene transferability

    Jessica Jocher, Philipp Janssen ... Ines Hellmann
    Analysis of scRNA-seq data from primate embryoid bodies highlights the value of cross-species comparisons for identifying and characterizing cell types, as marker genes can evolve fast.
