SARS-CoV-2, an evolutionary perspective of interaction with human ACE2 reveals undiscovered amino acids necessary for complex stability

The paper analyzes evolutionary dynamics and modeling of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein interactions with hACE2 to identify amino acids critical for viral binding and stability.

Orb-weaving spiders show a correlated syndrome of morphology and web structure in the wild

The paper examines the correlation between morphology and web structure in wild orb-weaving spiders, finding a syndrome linking body size to web traits and behavioral responses.

Collective behaviour is not robust to disturbance, yet parent and offspring colonies resemble each other in social spiders

The paper examines how collective foraging aggressiveness in social spider colonies responds to disturbances and whether parent-offspring colonies resemble each other in this behavior.
