Abstract. Cooperation in social insect colonies depends on complex chemical communication, requiring a large array of chemosensory receptors. Ant odorant r

Arizona ‘cleaner’ ant nibbles and licks the workers of a different ant species.

Evolutionarily related ‘proto-point’ centromeres providing resolution to the evolutionary origins of point centromeres are identified in yeast, and comparison shows they evolved in an ancestor with re...

Background The role of transposable elements (TEs) in host adaptation has gained interest in recent years. Individuals of the same species undergo independent TE insertions, providing genetic variabil...

Termite reproductives are long-lived and their genomes have abundant selfish genetic elements. Using long-read sequencing to profile transposable elements and DNA methylation, Qiu et al. uncover evolu...

Mona et al. report a complex supergene system in the ant Myrmecina graminicola characterized by three alleles determining both the number of queens in a colony (monogyne vs. polygyne) and the presence...

She was a tireless advocate for conservation, the welfare of captive chimpanzees and the protection of habitats.

Insect populations have declined worldwide, but the extent and drivers of these declines are debated. Most studies rely on field surveys performed in the past century, leaving gaps in our understandin...

Abstract. Transposable elements (TEs) drive major genome size and structural variations, yet evolutionary forces affecting their accumulation and removal r

A CRISPR–Cas9 screen identifies genes that modulate long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1) expression in human cells. LINE-1 5′ UTRs have enhancer features and can activate long-range gene expre...

A concerted effort is needed to support women in their choice of journal when submitting their manuscript.
