How the pipa frog hunts prey by touch
Each of the frog’s eight fingers branches into 16 ultra-sensitive tips, which together function as a fovea—potentially the first demonstration of this type of sensory structure outside of mammals.

Identificando o que torna o canto de uma ave único
As oscinas e as suboscinas, duas linhagens de aves evolutivamente próximas, aprendem e não aprendem a cantar, respectivamente, ajudando os cientistas a desvendar os correlatos neuronais da aprendizagem e da variabilidade vocal.

Qué hace único al canto de un ave
Los oscinos y los suboscinos son dos linajes de aves evolutivamente cercanos, pero solo uno de ellos aprende a cantar. Esa diferencia les permite a los científicos rastrear las bases neuronales del aprendizaje vocal.

U.S. national primate research centers face an uncertain future
The facilities were meant to last 100 years. Four decades shy of that mark, amid flatlined funds and mounting political pressure, their directors are trying to find a path forward.
