Foraging by predatory ants: A review
This review focuses on ecological and behavioral characteristics of foraging in ants showing the wide diversity of cases. Most ants can feed on sugary substances, but some ground‐nesting species are strict predators. Except army ants during the nomadic phase, they are central‐place foragers that can recruit nestmates when necessary. They prey mostly on

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.

Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase 4 regulates neurite morphogenesis during neurodevelopment
Summary: Neuritogenesis is crucial for establishing proper neuronal connections during brain development; its failure causes neurodevelopmental defects.

The dark sides of the GPCR tree ‐ research progress on understudied GPCRs
Abstract A large portion of the human GPCRome is still in the dark and understudied, consisting even of entire subfamilies of GPCRs such as odorant receptors, class A and C orphans, adhesion GPCRs, Frizzleds and taste receptors. However, it is undeniable that these GPCRs bring an untapped therapeutic potential that should be explored further.

ERNEST COST action overview on the (patho)physiology of GPCRs and orphan GPCRs in the nervous system
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a large family of cell surface receptors that play a critical role in nervous system function by transmitting signals between cells and their environment. They are involved in many, if not all, nervous system processes, and their dysfunction has been linked to various neurological disorders representing important
