Enhanced long-term memory and increased mushroom body plasticity in Heliconius butterflies

F. J. Young, A. Alcalde, L. Melo-Florez, A. Couto, J. Foley, M. Monllor, W. O. McMillan, S. H. Montgomery

This study shows Heliconius butterflies have enhanced long-term memory and greater mushroom body plasticity compared to related species, linked to synaptic changes and developmental responses to learning.

Re-emergence and diversification of a specialised antennal lobe morphology in ithomiine butterflies

B. J. Morris, A. Couto, A. Aldin, S. H. Montgomery

The paper identifies the re-emergence and diversification of macroglomerular complexes in ithomiine butterflies, linking their morphology to ecological and chemical cue processing.

Heat-stress triggers MAPK crosstalk to turn on the hyper-osmotic response pathway

P. Dunayevich, R. Baltanas, J. Clemente, A. Couto, D. Sapochnik, A. Colman-Lerner

The paper shows heat-stress activates the HOG pathway in yeast via the Sln1 phosphorelay branch, dependent on the CWI pathway and glycerol loss through Fps1.
