TL;DR: There is no single road map to eusociality; independent evolutionary transitions in sociality have independent genetic underpinnings and these transitions do have similar general features, including an increase in constrained protein evolution accompanied by increases in the potential for gene regulation and decreases in diversity and abundance of transposable elements.

TL;DR: Findings from a rapidly growing body of case studies examining the genetic basis of pigmentation differences in the abdomen, thorax, wings, and pupal cases within and between Drosophila species are reviewed and synthesized.

TL;DR: It is shown that decreased oxidative phosphorylation activity, a pattern that resembles aerobic glycolysis, causes increased aggression in honey bees and fruit flies and the social environment modulates the relationship between metabolism and aggression.

TL;DR: The mechanical properties of anatomy, not just neural circuitry, must be considered to fully understand the development and evolution of behavior, and it is found that the effects of yellow on male mating success are mediated by its effects on pigmentation of male-specific leg structures called sex combs.

TL;DR: Evaluated metrics for AMU in the dairy industry: total mg, total mg/kg, daily dose and daily course metrics, which recommend that the UK dairy industry work towards the UK-specific metrics using theUK-specific medicine dose and course regimens as well as cattle weights in order to monitor trends nationally.
