<jats:p>A global picture is emerging of sex-specific transmission of language change in quite different regions and continents.</jats:p>

<jats:p>Microglia play an important role in the maturation of synaptic circuits in newborn mice.</jats:p>

<jats:p>We are all faced with uncertainty about the future, but we can get the measure of some uncertainties in terms of probabilities. Probabilities are notoriously difficult to communicate effectively to lay audiences, and in this review we examine current practice for communicating uncertainties visually, using examples drawn from sport, weather, climate, health, economics, and politics. Despite the burgeoning interest in infographics, there is limited experimental evidence on how different types of visualizations are processed and understood, although the effectiveness of some graphics clearly depends on the relative numeracy of an audience. Fortunately, it is increasingly easy to present data in the form of interactive visualizations and in multiple types of representation that can be adjusted to user needs and capabilities. Nonetheless, communicating deeper uncertainties resulting from incomplete or disputed knowledge—or from essential indeterminacy about the future—remains a challenge.</jats:p>

<jats:p>An insect virus gene controls the behavior of the dying host to increase dispersion of the virus.</jats:p>

<jats:p> The brain endocast of <jats:italic>Australopithecus sediba</jats:italic> shows that despite retaining a small brain size, some reorganization of the frontal lobe had commenced, hinting at the later neural development seen in <jats:italic>Homo</jats:italic> . </jats:p>

<jats:p> Although it had a small brain and skull, <jats:italic>Australopithecus sediba</jats:italic> shows some human-like features in its reconstructed pelvis. </jats:p>

<jats:p> The hand of <jats:italic>Australopithecus sediba</jats:italic> , a rare example in the hominid fossil record, shows short fingers and a long thumb consistent with improved precision gripping while retaining strength for climbing. </jats:p>

<jats:p> <jats:italic>Australopithecus sediba</jats:italic> had a human-like ankle and arch but an ape-like heel and tibia, implying that while bipedal, this species was also adept at climbing trees. </jats:p>

<jats:p> Further U-series dating and the magnetic stratigraphy of the hosting cave deposits show that <jats:italic>Australopithecus sediba</jats:italic> lived just under 2 million years ago, near or just before the emergence of <jats:italic>Homo</jats:italic> . </jats:p>

<jats:p>A screening technique based on simple mass spectrometry measurements uncovers catalysts for organic coupling reactions.</jats:p>
