Our analysis of >20000 papers on botanical insecticides from 1980 to 2012, indicates major
growth in the number of papers published annually (61 in 1980 to 1207 in 2012), and their …

Background The number of retracted scholarly articles has risen precipitously in recent
years. Past surveys of the retracted literature each limited their scope to articles in PubMed, …

Many advances in arthropod sterol metabolism, as it relates to ecdysteroid biosynthesis,
have been made in the past 10 yr. The sterol 24-dealkylation system, present in the midgut of …

The plant growth regulator auxin controls cell identity, cell division and cell expansion. Auxin
efflux facilitators (PINs) are associated with auxin maxima in distal regions of both shoots …

10.7554/eLife.05224.001 Social relationships have profound effects on health in humans and
other primates, but the mechanisms that explain this relationship are not well understood. …

Lateral organ position along roots and shoots largely determines plant architecture, and
depends on auxin distribution patterns. Determination of the underlying patterning mechanisms …

Relatives have more similar gut microbiomes than nonrelatives, but the degree to which this
similarity results from shared genotypes versus shared environments has been controversial…

White-nose syndrome (WNS), an emerging infectious disease that has killed over 5.5 million
hibernating bats, is named for the causative agent, a white fungus (Geomyces destructans (…

In plants, where cells cannot migrate, asymmetric cell divisions (ACDs) must be confined to
the appropriate spatial context. We investigate tissue-generating asymmetric divisions in a …

Eukariotic cell motility is a complex phenomenon, in which the cytoskeleton and its major
constituent, actin, play an essential role. Actin forms polymers of long, stiff filaments that are …
