    Developmental, regenerative, and behavioral dynamics in acoel reproduction

    Vikram Chandra, Samantha Elizabeth Tseng ... Mansi Srivastava
    Studying the reproductive life history of an acoel reveals that a body-size-dependent program regulates organ growth and regeneration dynamics and discovers a novel form of egg-laying behavior.

    Earliest evidence of elephant butchery at Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania) reveals the evolutionary impact of early human megafaunal exploitation

    Manuel Dominguez-Rodrigo, Enrique Baquedano ... Audax Mabulla
    The discovery of the earliest direct evidence of systematic proboscidean butchery at Olduvai Gorge demonstrates that by 1.8 Ma early hominins had strategically integrated megafaunal exploitation into their subsistence systems.

    Toward neuroanatomical and cognitive foundations of macaque social tolerance grades

    Sarah Silvere, Julien Lamy ... Sebastien Ballesta
    Macaque’s social tolerance grades, through its underlying cognitive demands, shape subcortical structures volumes.

    High-throughput neutralization measurements correlate strongly with evolutionary success of human influenza strains

    Caroline Kikawa, Andrea N Loes ... Jesse D Bloom
    High-throughput measurement of neutralization titers using a new sequencing-based assay can help explain which seasonal influenza strains spread in the human population.

    On the nature of the earliest known lifeforms

    Dheeraj Kanaparthi, Frances Westall ... Tillmann Lueders
    Microfossils reported from Archaean BIFs most likely were liposome-like protocells, which had evolved intracellular mechanisms for energy conservation but not for regulating cell morphology and replication.

    Kinematics and morphological correlates of descent strategies in arboreal mammals suggest early upright postures in euprimates

    Severine LD Toussaint, Dionisios Youlatos, John A Nyakatura
    Vertical locomotion in arboreal mammals is shaped by a complex interplay of body mass, limb proportions, grasping abilities, and head mass, and primates use distinct upright postures during descents.
