A variety of human activities, especially urbanization, are not only homogenizing species composition but also eroding behavioral diversity. This Essay introduces the concept of behavioral homogenization: the human-driven convergence of beh...

In support of open science, PLOS Biology routinely asks authors to openly share their research code before publication. We are now formalizing this practice with a mandatory code-sharing policy and clarifying what we talk about when we talk...
Microbial tryptophan metabolism activates host lysosomal activity to facilitate lipid breakdown [0.03%]

Lysosomes are central to lipid metabolism, yet how gut microbiota-derived metabolites regulate lysosomal function to influence host lipid homeostasis remains unknown. Here, we identify a mechanism in which bacterial tryptophan metabolism ac...
Host plant phylogeny predicts arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities, but plant life history and fungal genetic change predict feedback [0.03%]
宿主植物的系统发育决定了菌根真菌群落，但植物生活史和真菌基因组变化预测了反馈效应

Symbioses exert strong influence on host phenotypes; however, benefits from symbionts can increase or degrade over time. Understanding the context-dependence of reinforcing or degrading dynamics is pivotal to predicting stability of symbiot...
Fetal inflammatory signals regulate maternal investment during marsupial pregnancy [0.03%]

Marsupial pregnancy is strikingly short: placental attachment in the gray short-tailed opossum Monodelphis domestica lasts only two days. The attachment period is characterized by a spike in inflammatory signaling, development of an expande...
Vasopressin and angiotensin II pathways differentially modulate human fear response dynamics to looming threats [0.03%]
血管加压素和血管紧张素II途径对人类恐惧反应动力学的调节不同

While basal threat processing dynamics (e.g., visual looming) are well characterized in animals, the underlying mechanisms and their modulation by neuropeptide systems with different modulatory roles in threat processing (vasopressin, angio...

Scholarly journals rely on peer review to identify the science most worthy of publication. Yet finding willing and qualified reviewers to evaluate manuscripts has become an increasingly challenging task, possibly even threatening the long-t...
Frequency-specific attentional mechanisms phasically modulate the influence of distractors on task performance [0.03%]

The Rhythmic Theory of Attention proposes that visual spatial attention is characterized by alternating states that promote either sampling at the present focus of attention or a higher likelihood of shifting attentional resources to anothe...

Sleep engineering could be developed to provide a drug-free, non-invasive avenue to treat depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Such an intervention would be greatly aided by the sophisticated detection of memory reactivations usin...

Biological recognition is often modeled as involving discrimination of continuously-distributed (and continuously-perceived) traits according to decision thresholds. However, traits such as animal signals can be categorically distributed. H...
