Comparative transcriptomic analysis reveals signatures of selection for orb-weaving behavior in spiders

The paper uses transcriptomic data from 98 spider species to analyze selection signatures in genes associated with orb-weaving behavior, identifying patterns of positive and relaxed selection and gene copy number differences.

A three-dimensional immunofluorescence atlas of the brain of the hackled-orb weaver spider, Uloborus diversus.

The paper creates a 3D immunofluorescence atlas of the central nervous system of the orb-web building spider Uloborus diversus, revealing novel neuropils and neurotransmitter expression patterns.

Unsupervised discovery and predictive sensorimotor transformation of spider prey capture through active vibration sensing

The paper uses unsupervised modeling to identify behavioral states and develop a predictive framework for spider prey capture based on vibration sensing.

The Maternal Effect of SKN-1B and DAF-7 on Intergenerational Pathogen Avoidance Learning in C. elegans.

This paper shows that SKN-1B and DAF-7 signaling from ASI enable intergenerational PA14 avoidance learning in C. elegans, but not beyond the F1 generation.

Nonlinear integration of sensory and motor inputs by a single neuron in C. elegans.

The paper shows that a single neuron in C. elegans integrates sensory and motor inputs nonlinearly, with sensory responses dependent on motor input dynamics.

An optogenetic assay for the dauer decision in Caenorhabditis elegans

The paper develops an optogenetic assay to study the dauer decision in C. elegans, showing that ASJ neuron activity influences dauer exit.

Chromosome-level genome and the identification of sex chromosomes in Uloborus diversus

This paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for Uloborus diversus, identifies sex chromosomes, and provides insights into spidroin genes and evolutionary biology.

TADs pair homologous chromosomes to promote interchromosomal gene regulation

The paper identifies TADs as button loci that facilitate homologous chromosome pairing and cell-type-specific interchromosomal gene regulation in Drosophila.
