Identification of a new cell cycle variant during multiciliated cell differentiation

The paper identifies a new cell cycle variant in multiciliated cells that enables centriole amplification without DNA replication or mitosis.

The cell cycle variant in multiciliated cells incorporates 2 centriole biogenesis cycles

This study shows the MCC cell cycle variant accelerates centriole biogenesis by overlapping two cycles to produce multiple mature centrioles without cell division.

A single changing hypernetwork to represent (social-)ecological dynamics

The paper introduces a hypernetwork framework to represent and model dynamic (social-)ecological systems, emphasizing non-dyadic interactions and changing topologies.

Is adaptive foraging adaptive? A resource-consumer eco-evolutionary model.

The paper constructs an eco-evolutionary model to explore how adaptive foraging influences community stability and evolutionary dynamics under different environmental conditions.

Mutualists construct the ecological conditions that trigger the transition from parasitism

The paper shows that spatial structure and local dispersal enable the transition from parasitism to mutualism through eco-evolutionary feedback loops.

Live 3D imaging and mapping of shear stresses within tissues using incompressible elastic beads

The paper develops a method to measure 3D shear stress in tissues using elastic beads and live imaging, demonstrating its application in cell aggregates and zebrafish embryos.

Population genomics of Pocillopora corals: insights from RAD-sequencing

This study uses RAD-sequencing to investigate species delimitation and genetic structure in Pocillopora corals, finding significant differentiation between Oman and French Polynesia samples.

A new hypothesis-testing model for phyllochron based on a stochastic process - application to analysis of genetic and environment effects in maize

The paper introduces a stochastic process model for phyllochron analysis in maize, showing differences are mainly due to ancestral lines, years, and leaf ranks rather than selection populations.

Wolbachia load variation in Drosophila is more likely caused by drift than by host genetic factors

This study investigates the factors regulating Wolbachia density in Drosophila, finding that drift, not host genetics, primarily drives variation in bacterial load and Octomom copy numbers.

Spatial structure of natural boxwood and the invasive box tree moth can promote coexistence

The paper models how spatial structure and dispersal dynamics influence coexistence between boxwood and the box tree moth, finding that heterogeneous landscapes promote stability.

A minimal yet flexible likelihood framework to assess correlated evolution

This paper introduces a likelihood framework to assess correlated evolution between two traits on a phylogenetic tree, showing it performs well with datasets of fewer than 100 species.

Inferring number of populations and changes in connectivity under the n-island model

The paper infers population structure and connectivity changes using the n-island model and IICR curves from PSMC data, finding ancient human population structure.

The silencing factor Sir3 is a molecular bridge that sticks together distant loci

This study shows Sir3 bridges distant genomic loci, promoting long-range contacts and rDNA compaction in yeast, independent of its known partners.

Manipulable object and human contact: preferences and modulation of emotional states in weaned piglets

This study examines how weaned piglets respond to manipulable objects and human contact, finding that human interaction reduces stress more effectively than objects.

The infection cushion: a fungal weapon of plant-biomass destruction

This study identifies genes and proteins up-regulated in Botrytis cinerea infection cushions, revealing their role in plant penetration and other functions like camouflage and necrotrophy.

A genomic amplification affecting a carboxylesterase gene cluster confers organophosphate resistance in the mosquito Aedes aegypti: from genomic characterization to high-throughput field detection

This study identifies a genomic amplification of carboxylesterase genes linked to organophosphate resistance in Aedes aegypti and develops a TaqMan assay to detect it in field populations.

Transparency in butterflies and moths: structural diversity, optical properties and ecological relevance

This study examines transparency in 123 Lepidoptera species, revealing its structural basis, optical properties, and ecological relevance in thermoregulation and vision.

Convergence in sympatry: evolution of blue-banded wing pattern in Morpho butterflies

The paper tests if species interactions drive convergence in wing patterns among sympatric Morpho butterflies by comparing phenotypic distances in sympatric and allopatric populations.
