Decoy effect in shoaling decision making in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

This study examines the decoy effect in zebrafish shoaling decisions, finding sex-specific differences based on the order of choice presentation.

Caenorhabditis elegans models for striated muscle disorders caused by missense variants of human LMNA

This paper creates C. elegans models for striated muscle laminopathies by introducing human LMNA variants, finding that variants affecting both skeletal and cardiac muscle cause more severe phenotypes.

CineFinch: An animated female zebra finch for studying courtship interactions

The paper develops an animated female zebra finch to study courtship interactions and finds that 40% of male zebra finches sing to the animation.

The Nesprin-1/-2 ortholog ANC-1 regulates organelle positioning in C. elegans without its KASH or actin-binding domains

This study shows ANC-1 in C. elegans regulates organelle positioning without requiring its KASH or actin-binding domains, suggesting a novel mechanism involving its spectrin-like region.

Introductory gestures before songbird vocal displays are shaped by learning and biological predispositions

This study shows that introductory notes in songbirds are shaped by both learning and biological predispositions, with experimental evidence from zebra finches.
