The paper shows that loser effects, not winner effects, determine social dominance in female-to-male sex-changing fish, influencing sexual transformation through social hierarchy dynamics.

This study examines social hierarchy formation in sex-changing fish, finding that dominance is size-based and disruption leads to rapid behavioral and neural changes.

The paper sequenced transcriptomes of six sea anemone species to identify toxin gene complements and analyze their evolutionary distribution across 26 species.

The paper characterizes the genomic structure, expression, and functional properties of the SA8 toxin family in two sea anemone species, revealing evolutionary mechanisms and venom recruitment.
