DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2020.104043
Abstract: Waiting for the right moment to strike, avoiding the ingestion of harmful foods, or ignoring stimuli associated with ephemeral or depleted resources requires the inhibition of prepotent responses. Good response inhibition facilities flexibility in behaviour… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.00041-20
Abstract: Bacteria harbor viruses called bacteriophages that, like all viruses, co-opt the host cellular machinery to replicate. Although this relationship is at first glance parasitic, there are social interactions among and between bacteriophages and their bacterial… read more here.

DOI: 10.13102/sociobiology.v68i1.5935
Abstract: Maternal effects have been recognized in animals and plants for a long time (Bernardo 1996; Roach & Wulff, 1987). Maternal effects are that the phenotype of offspring is influenced by maternal phenotype rather than its… read more here.
