This study tests the reproducibility of insect behavior experiments across three labs and species, finding 83% successful replication of treatment effects but only 66% effect size replication.

The paper improves statistical model accuracy in animal research to increase information gain per animal, showing benefits for small sample sizes.

This study shows that rearing environment significantly affects the phenotype of genetically identical mice, influencing gut microbiota, body weight, behavior, and epigenetic patterns.
