This study demonstrates that naïve honey bees (Apis mellifera anatolica) can acquire a preference for a specific flower color through social interaction with trained demonstrators within the hive, even without directly observing the demonstrators foraging at the flower patch.
This study characterizes *Bacillus subtilis* JS03, isolated from the freshwater sponge *Ephydatia fluviatilis*, as a promising probiotic candidate due to its robust stress tolerance, non-pathogenic nature, and significant antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity against various clinical pathogens.
This study demonstrates that in the annelid *Ophryotrocha puerilis*, subordinate individuals strategically modulate their growth rates based on the size gap with dominants to regulate social hierarchy and minimize reproductive conflict, thereby using body size as a dynamic signal of status.
This study developed and evaluated an in-sample physiological heart-rate model that accurately estimates total energy expenditure across diverse activity states (work, exercise, and recovery) using only heart rate and protocol-derived parameters, achieving high agreement with indirect calorimetry despite notable errors in specific conditions like stair descent and recovery.
This study reveals that the dominance of the PRRSV-2 L1C sublineage in China is driven by a synergistic cycle of Henan-centered spatiotemporal transmission, immune-evasion-enhancing positive selection in ORF5, and recombination hotspots in non-structural and structural genes.
This study extends previous findings to demonstrate that the lack of chloroplast fatty acid synthesis is a shared trait across the Glaucophyta phylum, evidenced by the exclusive presence of eukaryotic-type acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase I rather than the prokaryotic systems found in other photosynthetic lineages.
This study demonstrates that acclimation to high conspecific density significantly reduces the maximum feeding rates of two globally invasive fish species, Goldfish and Common Carp, highlighting that density-dependent plasticity in functional responses must be considered to accurately predict ecological impacts across varying invasion intensities.
The authors develop BFF-piRNA-seq, a gel-free method for directly sequencing PIWI-bound RNAs that eliminates size-selection bias and reveals conserved processing hotspots governing piRNA biogenesis in both flies and mice.
The paper introduces DeltaKcat, a siamese neural network framework that reformulates enzyme kinetics prediction as a pairwise relative learning problem to overcome the limitations of absolute regression, thereby achieving superior accuracy, robustness, and generalization in identifying highly active enzymes across noisy biological datasets.
This study identifies and characterizes the glucose dehydrogenase gene *HaGDH* in *Harmonia axyridis*, demonstrating its differential expression under glyphosate stress and its critical role in larval survival via RNA interference, thereby establishing it as a promising molecular biomarker for assessing glyphosate toxicity and guiding natural enemy conservation.
