text: Social insects have evolved enormous capacities to collectively build nests
and defend their colonies against both predators and pathogens. The latter is
achieved by a combination of individual immune responses and sophisticated collective
behavioral and organizational disease defenses, that is, social immunity. We investigated
how the presence or absence of these social defense lines affects individual-level
immunity in ant queens after bacterial infection. To this end, we injected queens
of the ant Linepithema humile with a mix of gram+ and gram− bacteria or a control
solution, reared them either with workers or alone and analyzed their gene expression
patterns at 2, 4, 8, and 12 hr post-injection, using RNA-seq. This allowed us
to test for the effect of bacterial infection, social context, as well as the
interaction between the two over the course of infection and raising of an immune
response. We found that social isolation per se affected queen gene expression
for metabolism genes, but not for immune genes. When infected, queens reared with
and without workers up-regulated similar numbers of innate immune genes revealing
activation of Toll and Imd signaling pathways and melanization. Interestingly,
however, they mostly regulated different genes along the pathways and showed a
different pattern of overall gene up-regulation or down-regulation. Hence, we
can conclude that the absence of workers does not compromise the onset of an individual
immune response by the queens, but that the social environment impacts the route
of the individual innate immune responses.

text: Social insect colonies have evolved many collectively performed adaptations
that reduce the impact of infectious disease and that are expected to maximize
their fitness. This colony-level protection is termed social immunity, and it
enhances the health and survival of the colony. In this review, we address how
social immunity emerges from its mechanistic components to produce colony-level
disease avoidance, resistance, and tolerance. To understand the evolutionary causes
and consequences of social immunity, we highlight the need for studies that evaluate
the effects of social immunity on colony fitness. We discuss the role that host
life history and ecology have on predicted eco-evolutionary dynamics, which differ
among the social insect lineages. Throughout the review, we highlight current
gaps in our knowledge and promising avenues for future research, which we hope
will bring us closer to an integrated understanding of socio-eco-evo-immunology.

text: Reachability analysis is difficult for hybrid automata with affine differential
equations, because the reach set needs to be approximated. Promising abstraction
techniques usually employ interval methods or template polyhedra. Interval methods
account for dense time and guarantee soundness, and there are interval-based tools
that overapproximate affine flowpipes. But interval methods impose bounded and
rigid shapes, which make refinement expensive and fixpoint detection difficult.
Template polyhedra, on the other hand, can be adapted flexibly and can be unbounded,
but sound template refinement for unbounded reachability analysis has been implemented
only for systems with piecewise constant dynamics. We capitalize on the advantages
of both techniques, combining interval arithmetic and template polyhedra, using
the former to abstract time and the latter to abstract space. During a CEGAR loop,
whenever a spurious error trajectory is found, we compute additional space constraints
and split time intervals, and use these space-time interpolants to eliminate the
counterexample. Space-time interpolation offers a lazy, flexible framework for
increasing precision while guaranteeing soundness, both for error avoidance and
fixpoint detection. To the best of out knowledge, this is the first abstraction
refinement scheme for the reachability analysis over unbounded and dense time
of affine hybrid systems, which is both sound and automatic. We demonstrate the
effectiveness of our algorithm with several benchmark examples, which cannot be
handled by other tools.

text: We give a lower bound on the ground state energy of a system of two fermions
of one species interacting with two fermions of another species via point interactions.
We show that there is a critical mass ratio m2 ≈ 0.58 such that the system is
stable, i.e., the energy is bounded from below, for m∈[m2,m2−1]. So far it was
not known whether this 2 + 2 system exhibits a stable region at all or whether
the formation of four-body bound states causes an unbounded spectrum for all mass
ratios, similar to the Thomas effect. Our result gives further evidence for the
stability of the more general N + M system.

text: "Branching morphogenesis remains a subject of abiding interest. Although
\ much is \r\nknown about the gene regulatory programs and signaling pathways
that operate at \r\nthe cellular scale, it has remained unclear how the macroscopic
features of branched \r\norgans, including their size, network topology and
\ spatial patterning, are encoded. \r\nLately, it has been proposed that,
these features can be explained quantitatively in \r\nseveral organs within a
single unifying framework. Based on large-\r\nscale organ recon\r\n-\r\nstructions
\ and cell lineage tracing, it has been argued that morphogenesis follows
\ \r\nfrom the collective dynamics of sublineage- \r\nrestricted self- \r\nrenewing
progenitor cells, \r\nlocalized at ductal tips, that act cooperatively to drive
a serial process of ductal elon\r\n-\r\ngation and stochastic tip bifurcation.
By correlating differentiation or cell cycle exit \r\nwith proximity to maturing
ducts, this dynamic results in the specification of a com-\r\nplex network of
\ defined density and statistical organization. These results suggest \r\nthat,
for several mammalian tissues, branched epithelial structures develop as a self-
\r\norganized process, reliant upon a strikingly simple, but generic,
\ set of local rules, \r\nwithout recourse to a rigid and deterministic
\ sequence of genetically programmed \r\nevents. Here, we review the basis
of these findings and discuss their implications."
