The study tests the intersexual pleiotropy hypothesis by examining genetic and environmental influences on female extra-pair mating in zebra finches, finding no genetic homology between male and female promiscuity.

This study shows that eastern house finches have evolved immune clearance and damage-limitation mechanisms against Mycoplasma gallisepticum, without differences in pathogen load between populations.

This study examines how oral tactile sensitivity affects texture perception and mastication behavior, finding no difference in texture discrimination but significant differences in masticatory patterns between high and low sensitivity groups.

This study uses nRNA-seq to analyze the herpes simplex virus type 1 transcriptome, identifying a novel intergenic mRNA encoding a fusion protein of ICP0 and L.

This study identifies KKT4, a kinetoplastid kinetochore protein that binds and tracks with microtubule tips, enabling chromosome segregation despite lacking homology to known microtubule-binding domains.
