  Evaluation Summary:

  This study substantially advances our understanding of why, when, and how wild birds use daily torpor as an energetic strategy. A technically challenging combination of carefully controlled experiments on temporarily captive wild birds along with frequent respiratory measurements and whole-body composition measurements was key to making this advance.

  Evaluation Summary:

  This manuscript develops new software tools to analyze and classify single cells with high throughput based on single cell phenotyping using an existing imaging system. The authors show that tissues can be reproducibly decomposed into clusters of cells based on their feature space and that cell composition dynamics can be reliably detected. The main impact is to make single cell phenotyping more tractable, including for samples and organisms for which sequencing-based or fluorescent-labeling-based approaches are not readily available. Applicability was demonstrated in two research model organisms, zebrafish and freshwater snail.
