Single-B cell analysis correlates high-lactate secretion with stress and increased apoptosis

The paper correlates high lactate secretion in B cells with stress and increased apoptosis, using single-cell transcriptomics and metabolic flux analysis in mice.

Four decades of phenology in an alpine amphibian: trends, stasis, and climatic drivers

This study examines phenological shifts in an alpine toad population over 39 years, finding earlier breeding linked to climate factors but with limited individual variation.

Influence of weather on dragonfly migration and flight behaviour along the Baltic coast

This study examines how weather affects dragonfly flight behavior and migration along the Baltic coast, finding temperature, cloud cover, and wind direction influence movement patterns.

Transcriptome Surveys in Silverfish Suggest a Multistep Origin of the Insect Odorant Receptor Gene Family

The paper identifies multiple odorant receptor (Or) gene family members in silverfish and proposes they represent an evolutionary intermediate between gustatory receptors and higher insect Ors.
