Relationship between weapon size and six key behavioural and physiological traits in males of the European earwig

The paper investigates the relationship between forceps length and six behavioural and physiological traits in European earwig males, finding no main association between forceps length and the traits measured.

The brittle star genome illuminates the genetic basis of animal appendage regeneration

This study presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of the brittle star and identifies conserved gene expression patterns during regeneration across invertebrates and vertebrates.

Pre- and post-oviposition behavioural strategies to protect eggs against extreme winter cold in an insect with maternal care

This study examines how European earwig mothers select oviposition sites and move eggs to regulate temperature during winter, showing that temperature selection and egg movement are critical for egg survival.

Fascin1 empowers YAP mechanotransduction and promotes cholangiocarcinoma development

This study identifies Fascin1 as a regulator of YAP mechanotransduction that promotes cholangiocarcinoma development by sustaining YAP activation in response to ECM cues.

EphB6 regulates TFEB-lysosomal pathway and survival of disseminated indolent breast cancer cells

This study identifies EphB6 as a regulator of the TFEB-lysosomal pathway and survival of disseminated indolent breast cancer cells in a foreign environment.

Alteration of gut microbiota with a broad-spectrum antibiotic does not impair maternal care in the European earwig.

This study tests if altering gut microbiota with rifampicin affects maternal care in European earwigs, finding no impairment in pre- or post-hatching care.

Geography, not food availability, reflects compositional differences in the bacterial communities associated with larval sea urchins

The paper shows that geographic location, not feeding regime, explains differences in bacterial communities of larval sea urchins.
