   Collaborative hunting in artificial agents with deep reinforcement learning

   Kazushi Tsutsui, Ryoya Tanaka ... Keisuke Fujii

   Collaborative hunting, characterized by the division of roles among predators, has emerged within a group of artificial agents through deep reinforcement learning.

   Evolutionary trade-offs in dormancy phenology

   Théo Constant, F Stephen Dobson ... Sylvain Giroud

   Dormancy during non-life-threatening periods that are unfavorable for reproduction may be more widespread than previously appreciated.

   Intra- and interspecific diversity in a tropical plant clade alter herbivory and ecosystem resilience

   Ari Grele, Tara J Massad ... Lora A Richards

   Experimental Piper gardens across five neotropical sites reveal complex contingencies in the influence of species and population-level biodiversity on the flow of resources to insect herbivores and ecosystem resilience to changes in water availability.

   Warming and altered precipitation independently and interactively suppress alpine soil microbial growth in a decadal-long experiment

   Yang Ruan, Ning Ling ... Zhibiao Nan

   Warming and altered precipitation reduce the growth rates of alpine soil bacteria by 40-90%, and the growth of ~70% taxa is influenced by antagonistic interactions between factors.

   The push–pull intercrop Desmodium does not repel, but intercepts and kills pests

   Anna L Erdei, Aneth B David ... Teun Dekker

   Instead of repelling, Desmodium, a hallmark of pest suppressive sustainable intercropping, acts as a mechanical and developmental barrier to larvae, thereby truncating population development.

    Mutualistic Relationships: Balancing metabolism and reproduction

    Songdou Zhang, Shiheng An

    The bacterium responsible for a disease that infects citrus plants across Asia facilitates its own proliferation by increasing the fecundity of its host insect.
