   Divergent functions of two clades of flavodoxin in diatoms mitigate oxidative stress and iron limitation

   Shiri Graff van Creveld, Sacha N Coesel ... E Virginia Armbrust

   Diatoms encode two forms of flavodoxin with divergent functions that mitigate the oxidative stress and iron requirements associated with life in contemporary oxygenated iron-poor oceans.

   Metabolic consequences of various fruit-based diets in a generalist insect species

   Laure Olazcuaga, Raymonde Baltenweck ... Julien Foucaud

   Metabolomic analyses indicate that diet generalism may stem from a neutral metabolic response to different chemistries, rather than from an accumulation of specific adaptations.

   Tradeoffs explain scaling, sex differences, and seasonal oscillations in the remarkable weapons of snapping shrimp (Alpheus spp.)

   Jason P Dinh, SN Patek

   Observational field analyses demonstrate that within a species, variation in animal weapon size corresponds to individual differences in the costs and benefits of weaponry.
