Automated detection of Bornean white-bearded gibbon (Hylobates albibarbis) vocalisations using an open-source framework for deep learning

The paper develops a deep learning model to automatically detect Bornean white-bearded gibbon vocalisations, achieving high accuracy and reducing analysis time.

Manipulating multi-level selection in a fungal entomopathogen reveals social conflicts and a method for improving biocontrol traits

This study manipulates multi-level selection in a fungal pathogen to reveal social conflicts and improve biocontrol traits by altering virulence and sporulation timing.

Natural selection reverses the exaggeration of a male sexually selected trait, which increases female fitness.

The paper uses experimental evolution to show that male-specific predation reduces exaggerated male traits in beetles, indirectly increasing female fitness through genetic correlations.

Changes in temperature alter susceptibility to a virus following a host shift

The paper investigates how temperature affects viral susceptibility across 45 Drosophilidae species, finding that temperature increases variance in susceptibility but not mean viral load.
