This study investigates how the hippocampal CA2 and CA1 regions encode social memories of pair-bonded mates versus novel individuals in California mice.

This study shows that bco1l is essential for VA production in betta fish larvae, leading to developmental defects when knocked out.

This study investigates turn-taking aggressive behavior in Siamese fighting fish, identifying a brain region involved in persistence but not coordination of social interactions.

This study examines gene expression differences across brain regions in two deer mouse species and their hybrids, finding widespread interspecific variation and regional modularity in gene regulation.

This study develops and validates genetic manipulation techniques in betta fish, including CRISPR/Cas9 knockout, knockin, and Tol2 transgenesis, to enable functional studies of genes involved in viability and pigmentation.

This paper introduces SPORE, a method for accurately inferring parent-offspring relationships in inbred populations despite high inbreeding and genotyping errors.
