  1. Fruit fly pest meets its evolutionary match in parasitic wasp

    A parasitic wasp perfectly adapted to prey on a common fruit fly pest demonstrates key principles of ecologically driven evolution and could provide a valuable natural form of pest control.
  2. Livestock abortion surveillance could protect livelihoods and detect emerging global pathogens

    A study suggests timely reporting and investigating of livestock abortions is feasible in rural areas and can provide insights into emerging infectious diseases.

    Optimal timing maximises Paxlovid benefits for treating COVID-19

    Study suggests using the anti-COVID-19 treatment Paxlovid three to five days after symptoms emerge in patients and expanding global access to the drug may help reduce the severity and transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the disease.
  3. Higher light levels may improve cognitive performance

    Research provides evidence for higher levels of light leading to a change in activity across a region of the brain called the hypothalamus, and improved cognitive performance.
  4. Study provides evidence for sexual plasticity in female fruit flies

    Researchers have discovered that female fruit flies can influence the outcome of insemination by a particular male, by modulating the storage and ejection of sperm in response to sensory stimuli.
  5. Simulations reveal mechanism behind protein build-up in Parkinson's disease

    A computational simulation reveals molecular-level insights into the aggregation of alpha-synuclein, a disordered protein in Parkinson’s disease.
  6. Crowdsourced data provides accurate biodiversity picture to aid conservation efforts

    Users of the Biome app generate 6 million records that can make species distribution predictions more powerful for monitoring biodiversity.
  7. Media Coverage: February roundup of eLife papers in the news

    High-profile news coverage that eLife papers generated in February 2024, including The New York Post, GEO, and Marie Claire Australia.
  8. Immune evasion tactics of liver cancer cells revealed

    A cancer gene drives immune escape by stopping tumour and immune cells communicating using exosomes.
  9. eLife’s new collection highlights neurodivergent experiences in academia

    By showcasing first-hand accounts from neurodivergent scientists, eLife’s ‘Being Neurodivergent in Academia’ highlights ways that research could become more neuroinclusive.
