  1. Cell-free biosensors have the potential to become a low-cost, widely distributed technology. If deployed at scale, they can generate new large-scale data streams about human health and our environment, providing actionable information at the point of need. Here, we review the key technological advances of cell-free biosensors over the last five years and suggest a future path of technology development, including interfacing with circuits, devices, and materials that are becoming part of the next generation of biosensors. We then ask what is needed for these technologies to succeed at scale, focusing on lessons from field-deployment studies, policy, regulatory, safety, and other considerations to ensure alignment of technological developments with real-world necessities, market opportunities, and reliable use by non-experts.

  3. The study of individual behavioral variation, sometimes called animal personalities or behavioral types, is now a well-established area of research in behavioral ecology and evolution. Considerable theoretical work has developed predictions about its ecological and evolutionary causes and consequences, and studies testing these theories continue to grow. Here, we synthesize the current empirical work to shed light on which theories are well supported and which need further refinement. We find that the major frameworks explaining the existence of individual behavioral variation, the pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis and state-dependent feedbacks models, have mixed support. The consequences of individual behavioral variation are well studied at the individual level but less is known about consequences at higher levels such as among species and communities. The focus of this review is to reevaluate and reestablish the foundation of individual behavioral variation research: What do we know? What questions remain? And where are we going next?
