    Evolution of sideways locomotion in crabs

    Junya Taniguchi, Tsubasa Inoue ... Yuuki Kawabata
    Sideways locomotion in true crabs likely originated once from a forward-moving ancestor, providing insight into how behavioral innovations shape evolutionary diversification.

    Divergent C. elegans toxin alleles are suppressed by distinct mechanisms

    Stefan Zdraljevic, Laura Walter-McNeill ... Leonid Kruglyak
    A maternal toxin-antidote element has degenerated into an antidote-only remnant in some Caenorhabditis elegans isolates, while in others, the toxin may instead be silenced by small RNAs.
