Abstract The outcomes of species interactions can vary greatly in time and space with the outcomes of some interactions determined by priority effects. On coral reefs, benthic algae rapidly colonize disturbed substrate. In the absence of top‐down control from herbivorous fishes, these algae can inhibit the recruitment of reef‐building corals, leading ...

Nociceptive interneurons control modular motor pathways to promote escape behavior in Drosophila
Rapid and efficient escape behaviors in response to noxious sensory stimuli are essential for protection and survival. Yet, how noxious stimuli are transformed to coordinated escape behaviors remains poorly understood.

A comparative molecular approach to mesodermal patterning in basal deuterostomes: the expression pattern of Brachyury in the enteropneust hemichordate Ptychodera flava [PDF]
This work concerns the formation of mesoderm in the development of an enteropneust hemichordate, Ptychodera flava, and the expression of the Brachyury gene during this process. Brachyury expression occurs in two distinct phases.

The diversity of flower‐visiting arthropods in four Danish apple orchards was assessed using molecular (metabarcoding) and non‐molecular techniques. The aim was to obtain a broader overview of arhtropod communities present to support future management practices towards more sustainable agricultural systems.

IL‐4/IL‐13‐producing ILC2s are required for timely control of intestinal helminth infection in mice
ILC2‐derived IL‐4/IL‐13 plays a non‐redundant role for eosinophil recruitment to the lung and expulsion of N. brasiliensis worm parasites from the intestine. Abstract Infection of mice with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb) serves as a model for human hookworm infection affecting about 600 million people world‐wide.

Flavonoid‐Derived Probes for the Detection of Islet Amyloid Polypeptide Aggregates
Misfolding and aggregation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) has been implicated in Type‐2 diabetes (T2D), contributing to β‐cell dysfunction. We developed flavonoid‐based probes, F4 and MF1, for detecting IAPP fibrils. These probes showed improved fluorescence response, over 10‐fold higher binding affinity than Thioflavin T and enabled specific ...
