Nest-relief behaviors and usage of call types in the Kentish plover (Charadrius alexandrinus)
In bi-parental species, breeding pairs cooperate to regulate incubation duration through nest-relief behavior, using vocal signals to communicate when exchanging incubation duties. To better understand this be...

Why was he murdered? The first report of the motive for conspecific killing in a flock of captive tree sparrows (Passer montanus) through direct video surveillance
In animal societies, conspecific killing is the most extreme way in which individuals resolve conflicts and is rarely reported in the literature. The reasons for such behavior are unclear because the majority ...

Open AccessFaulty autolysosome acidification in Alzheimer’s disease mouse models induces autophagic build-up of Aβ in neurons, yielding senile plaques
Autophagy is markedly impaired in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here we reveal unique autophagy dysregulation within neurons in five AD mouse models in vivo and identify its basis using a neuron-specific transgeni...

Production of human spinal-cord organoids recapitulating neural-tube morphogenesis
Human spinal-cord-like tissues induced from human pluripotent stem cells are typically insufficiently mature and do not mimic the morphological features of neurulation. Here, we report a three-dimensional cult...
