The paper shows that social isolation in poison frog tadpoles alters miRNA expression in the midbrain and eyes, linked to behavioral changes and potential neuroplasticity mechanisms.

This study shows early diet affects growth and brain development differently, with diet quality shaping social behavior through neural circuits.

This study identifies a retrovirus insertion near the alkal2a gene as the genetic basis for a novel iridescent color trait in swordtail fish, showing its role in chromatin changes and predator interaction signals.
