Gefitinib induces EGFR and α5β1 integrin co-endocytosis in glioblastoma cells
Overexpression of EGFR drives glioblastomas (GBM) cell invasion but these tumours remain resistant to EGFR-targeted therapies such as tyrosine kinase...

Degrees of honesty: cleaning by the redlip cleaner wrasse Labroides rubrolabiatus
Cleaning symbioses among coral reef fishes are highly variable. Cleanerfishes vary in how much they cooperate with (i.e. remove only ectoparasites)...

Fifty shades of white: how white feather brightness differs among species
White colouration is a common and important component of animal visual signalling and camouflage, but how and why it varies across species is poorly...

Convergent evolution of sexual deception via chromatic and achromatic contrast rather than colour mimicry
The Orchidaceae is characterised by the repeated evolution of sexual deception, one of the most specialised pollination strategies. In orchids,...
