    Wandering albatrosses exert high take-off effort only when both wind and waves are gentle

    Leo Uesaka, Yusuke Goto ... Kentaro Q Sakamoto
    Wind and ocean wave conditions experienced by albatrosses were estimated using an animal-borne recorder and revealed that take-off was easier under higher wave conditions.

    Mosquito community composition shapes virus prevalence patterns along anthropogenic disturbance gradients

    Kyra Hermanns, Marco Marklewitz ... Sandra Junglen
    Analysis of naturally infected mosquitoes shows that ecosystem disturbance can lead to a turnover in host community composition and that more individuals of a single species are a key driver of virus emergence.

    Higher social tolerance is associated with more complex facial behavior in macaques

    Alan V Rincon, Bridget M Waller ... Jérôme Micheletta
    Detailed quantification of macaque facial behavior reveals a positive link between social and communicative complexity, and helps us to better understand the evolution of animal communication.
