This paper develops a cross-scale model to study how gut microbiota dynamics influence antimicrobial resistance persistence and transmission across hospital and community settings.

This study shows that the fungal endophyte Serendipita indica reduces disease susceptibility in Arabidopsis regardless of host genotype and that the immune receptor ISI contributes to root immunity but is not required for endophyte protection.

Across 31 jack pine sites, clearcut soil bacteria converge with post-wildfire communities by crown closure, fungi do not, and salvage-logged communities stay distinct for ~20 years.

This study shows how seasonal changes and migration timing affect species coexistence and biomass production across ecosystems.

The paper develops a constraint-based simulator, ECOLPS, to model aquatic ecosystems and identifies key ecological dynamics through simulations.

This paper identifies spectral and chemical biomarkers (polli-markers) to detect early plant pollination responses using hyperspectral reflectance and metabolomics in Brassica napus.

This study uses dietary DNA metabarcoding to analyze plant forage diversity in two co-occurring fungus gardening ant species, finding significant differences in plant beta and alpha diversity between species and paired colonies.

The paper presents a framework for processing and analyzing marine passive acoustic monitoring data to improve global ocean soundscape understanding and management.

The paper compares ethanol levels and crop microbiota in foraging and caged honeybees, finding no significant ethanol difference but microbial shifts in caged bees.

The paper evaluates the accuracy of the Lotka-Volterra model in capturing microbial consumer-resource dynamics and finds it fails under strong coupling due to omitted nonlinear interactions.

This study assesses the risk of human exposure to dengue, chikungunya, and Zika viruses in Europe using ecological niche modeling, showing increased risk due to climate change.

The paper predicts daily equilibrium abundances of three Anopheles gambiae complex malaria vector species using meteorological and human factors data.

This study shows that large terrestrial omnivores, like bears, adjust their trophic positions in response to changes in primary productivity and growing season length.

This study projects climate change impacts on Pyrenean endemic plant species by 2100, finding 69% will lose over 75% of their bioclimatic niche under high-emission scenarios.

This study examines how white-lipped peccaries navigate agricultural and natural landscapes, finding that landscape configuration and matrix permeability, not just habitat amount, influence their spatial behavior and conservation needs.

This study develops an LSTM model to estimate optimal tobacco seedling sowing periods based on altitude, achieving high accuracy in predicting survival rates.

The paper compares phytoplankton molecular diversity between Patagonian fjords/channels and the open ocean in Southern Chile, finding higher harmful potential in fjord/channel areas.

The paper investigates grazing pathways in tropical oligotrophic waters by analyzing copepod and microzooplankton diets, finding that microzooplankton remove most daily production while copepods show moderate selection for picoplankton.

This study examines how micropollutants affect planktonic food webs in urban rivers, finding stronger impacts in more urbanized areas with algal-mediated cascading effects.

The paper investigates the chemical microenvironment of coral gastrovascular cavities and identifies active anaerobic metabolism and its microbial drivers.
