A synthetic, prospective article considers how the fields of sensory ecology and collective behaviour can combine when considering animal collective movements and interactions, and how these fields can inspire each other to advance understanding of animal behaviour, adaptation and evolution.

Researchers and administrators can integrate reproducible research and open science practices into daily practice at their research institutions by adapting research assessment criteria and program requirements, offering training, and building communities.
A critical re-evaluation of some of the quintessential examples given as evidence for cortical reorganisation argues that, contrary to the prevalent view, any opportunities for functional change in cortical organisation are incremental and constrained by the underlying structural ‘blueprint'.

Systems genetics is a powerful approach that links DNA variation to complex clinical and physiological traits through the integration of intermediate phenotypes, such as RNA, protein, and metabolite levels.
Hypotheses on brain homologies between insects and vertebrates are tested by comparing gene expression patterns from flies and beetles with those from vertebrates at early neuroectoderm stages.

Collaborative and mutually beneficial patient-provider-researcher relationships are crucial in achieving success in understanding and treating long COVID.
The expansion of our understanding about the regulation of iron metabolism, erythropoiesis, and the crosstalk between them has enabled delineating the pathophysiology of multiple diseases and provided rationale for novel therapeutic interventions.
Measurement precision offers a comprehensive perspective on good scientific practices to improve reproducibility of research results by providing means to optimize design and analysis parameters (e.g. sample size, trial count, or sample heterogeneity) in accordance with the researcher’s goals.
