Editor’s summary
Parasitism of honeybees by both an ecto-parasitic mite and an endo-parasitic fungi cause changes in both the chemical profiles of their ‘skin’ and the genomic profiles of their brains, without affecting social interactions within the hive.

Paternal kin recognition in the high frequency / ultrasonic range in a solitary foraging mammal

Editor’s summary
Analysis of the ultrasonic advertisement calls of grey mouse lemurs reveals distinct signatures among paternally related individuals, which may have evolved as a method of inbreeding avoidance by allowing females to recognize the calls of their fathers.
