The Mating Pattern of Captive Naked Mole-Rats Is Best Described by a Monogamy Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Naked mole-rats form colonies with a single reproductively active female surrounded by subordinate workers. Workers perform offspring care, construction and defense of the burrow system, and food supply.

Extraterritorial prospecting and territory defence in cooperatively breeding meerkats

open access: yes, 2012
In group living animals where natal dispersal is delayed, prospecting allows individuals to asses their future dispersal and breeding opportunities and, in males of some species, may minimize the costs of delaying dispersal by enabling extra-group ...

Individual variation in cooperative behaviour in meerkats

open access: yes, 2010
Individual variation in cooperation is a striking yet poorly understood feature of many animal societies, particularly in cooperative breeders where individuals assist in the care of young that are not their own.

Establishment of a humanized patient‐derived xenograft mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer for preclinical evaluation of combination immunotherapy

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...

Infrequent Cooperative Breeding in a Short-Lived Migratory Songbird, the Wilson’s Warbler

open access: yesBirds
Cooperative breeding, or helping behavior, has long been recognized in birds. An ignored dichotomy, however, separates the helping found in many individuals of some long-lived, sedentary species from the helping occasionally found in the territories of ...
