Columnar architectures, developed in early Cambrian phosphatic-shelled brachiopods, are highly biologically controlled and organic-matrix mediated, which sheds new light on the evolution and adaptation of biomineralization during the Cambrian explosion.

ROCK and the actomyosin network are essential for multiple aspects of sea urchin skeletogenesis, suggesting an independent deployment of these factors in biomineralization across Eukaryotes.

Animals can thrive alongside humans by being expert judges of risk.

Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying behaviour shows pronounced variation in natural populations, making it a promising model to investigate the microevolution of a simple neural circuit.

Theoretical scenario for prebiotic polymers capable of nonenzymatic replication to acquire an early catalytic function, specifically cleavage activity.
