Transgenic selection and underlying mechanisms in apicomplexan parasites
Transgenic selection markers have driven genetic engineering in apicomplexans, enabling precise, iterative experiments. This review discusses mechanistic details of drug selection markers, strategies for marker recycling, and practical considerations for several clinically relevant parasites.

Conserved dimerization architecture in C‐type lectins from virus‐vector mosquitoes
C‐type lectins (CTLs) are involved in the detection of viral/microbial carbohydrates. We studied a family of soluble CTLs in the mosquito Aedes aegypti, which acts as a vector for viruses like dengue and Zika. Using crystallography, biophysics, and structure prediction approaches, we found that these proteins consistently pair together in the same ...

Defining the role of αC helix interactions in the activation of the integrin αI domain
The α2I domain of the α2β1 integrin contains a distinctive αC helix and a conserved Arg288‐Glu318 ion pair that stabilizes the closed state of the domain. Disruption of this ion pair in the activated α2I variant unwinds the αC helix, which allows interaction with additional collagen‐binding sites increasing collagen binding.

Sympatric species are expected to use resources differently along one or more ecological dimensions. This can be complex when there is partial separation along multiple dimensions, such as where bird species exhibit similarities in habitat use and diet.
