     This study makes a valuable advance in our understanding of defensive symbionts in insects. It uses a meta-analysis to quantify the magnitude of change in host fitness components when symbionts are present in hosts exposed to natural enemies. The evidence supporting the study conclusions is solid, with analyses confirming common assumptions that symbionts generally provide defence at low cost to hosts.

      This valuable study by Xu and colleagues investigates brainstem circuits mediating evoked respiratory reflexes that they define as cough-like in a freely behaving mouse model. They have applied multiple circuit mapping and manipulation approaches to suggest that the caudal spinal trigeminal nucleus (SP5C) nucleus can play a novel role in generating a reflex cough-like behavior in mice. The authors give incomplete evidence that the reflex behavior produced in their mouse model is definitively cough, limiting functional interpretation of the putative circuit identified and requiring more thorough experimental interrogation of the behavior studied.
