Blind cavefish evolved food-searching behavior without changing sensory modality compared with sighted conspecies in the dark

This study shows cavefish use similar sensory modalities to surface fish for food searching but with higher adherence to stimuli and an extended circling strategy.

Transitioning to confined spaces impacts bacterial swimming and escape response

This study shows that V. fischeri alters its swimming behavior in confined spaces, escaping through reduced directional fluctuation and a refractory period between reversals.

Manganese toxicity disrupts indole acetic acid homeostasis and suppresses CO2 assimilation reaction in rice plants

This study shows that manganese toxicity in rice reduces indole acetic acid levels, impairing stomatal function and CO2 assimilation, leading to growth defects.
