Intra-species quantification reveals differences in activity and sleep levels in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti

This study compares activity and sleep levels across 17 Ae. aegypti lines, finding population differences linked to host preference, ancestry, and human population density.

TRPM7-dependent electrical signals drive phagocytic clearance for effective anti-fungal defense

This study identifies TRPM7-dependent electrical signals in macrophages that are critical for effective fungal clearance and anti-fungal defense.

Ocean acidification increases susceptibility to sub-zero air temperatures in ecosystem engineers (Mytilus sp.): a limit to poleward range shifts

This study shows that ocean acidification reduces freeze tolerance in Mytilus species, potentially limiting their poleward range shifts as temperatures rise.

Global, regional, and cryptic population structure in a high gene-flow transatlantic fish

This study reveals extensive population genetic structuring in lumpfish despite high dispersal potential, identifying major splits and local substructures across the North Atlantic.

Cooperative escape in ants and robots

This study examines cooperative escape behavior in ants and robots, showing how simple rules lead to collective problem-solving in dynamic environments.

TGFβ drives mitochondrial dysfunction in peripheral blood NK cells during metastatic breast cancer

This study shows that TGFβ causes mitochondrial dysfunction in NK cells of metastatic breast cancer patients, and blocking TGFβ improves their metabolic function and IFNγ production.
