Specialized anterior intestinal cells in Caenorhabditis elegans act as sentinels, regulating pathogen responses and linking food availability to gut peptide secretion through pyruvate metabolism.
Carrying 'teaching' signals and modulating movement, two highly conserved functions of the dopaminergic system across all animals, are brought about by the same individual dopaminergic neurons in an insect larva.
Perceptual metamers reveal that the visual system averages luminance over a spatial extent four times smaller than spectral energy, but such estimates depend critically on experimental design choices.

Juvenile brown trout rapidly respond to fine-scale temperature disturbances, demonstrating behavioral mechanisms that support resilience to sudden thermal disruptions in freshwater ecosystems.
Gluconeogenesis rescues insects from glycogen phosphorylase suppression, establishing metabolic redundancy as a key consideration for insecticide target selection.
Allosteric transition between two disulfide configurations of NK cell receptor KIR2DL4 is a functional switch that controls receptor residence at the cell surface for binding and internalization of soluble HLA-G.
