Depth-dependent dynamics of protist communities as an integral part of spring succession in a freshwater reservoir

The paper investigates depth-dependent protist community dynamics in a freshwater reservoir during spring, revealing distinct community structures at different depths.

Use of multimodal sensory cues in predator avoidance by wild-caught zebrafish shoals

This study examines how wild-caught zebrafish shoals respond to visual, olfactory, and combined predator cues, finding that multimodal cues lead to increased freezing but similar other responses compared to no cues.

Hiding in the bush, in fear of a predator! Vegetation and predators influence shoaling among wild zebrafish

This study examines how vegetation and predator cues affect shoaling behavior in wild zebrafish, finding that vegetation reduces subgroup formation and polarization in response to predator cues.

Rickettsiales' deep evolutionary history sheds light on the emergence of intracellular lifestyles

This study investigates the evolutionary history of Rickettsiales bacteria, showing how cross-feeding interactions with eukaryotes influenced their transition to intracellular lifestyles and genomic adaptations.

What drives mixed-species shoaling among wild zebrafish? Role of predators, food access, abundance of conspecifics, and kin familiarity

This study identifies factors driving mixed-species shoaling in zebrafish, finding that equitable food access, predator presence, and kin familiarity influence shoal choice.

Lipid Droplets Promote Phase Separation of Ago2 to Accelerate Dicer1 Loss and Decelerate miRNA Activity in Lipid Exposed Hepatic Cells

The paper shows lipid droplets promote Ago2 phase separation, reduce Dicer1 levels, and decrease miR-122 activity in hepatic cells under lipotoxic stress.

Genotypic and antigenic study of SARS-CoV-2 from an Indian isolate.

The paper analyzes the genotypic and antigenic characteristics of an Indian SARS-CoV-2 isolate, identifying its strain and predicting B and T cell epitopes for vaccine design.

A freshwater radiation of diplonemids

The paper detects freshwater diplonemids in multiple lakes, finds they form a new lineage, and suggests marine diplonemid diversity may be overestimated.
