This study meta-analyzes the impact of transgenerational and developmental plasticity on stress responses, finding that experimental and biological context, rather than plasticity type alone, predicts stress tolerance outcomes.

The paper assesses tree species natural regeneration in a tidal white-water floodplain forest, finding high diversity and dominance of a single species.

The paper shows that infected tadpoles lower their body temperature more than uninfected ones, suggesting behavioral anapyrexia as a response to virus infection.

This study develops an iterative Bayesian forecast model for Ixodes scapularis population dynamics, showing improved accuracy with weather and host data, particularly for nymph survival and disease risk prediction.

This paper introduces a simulation platform to model how regulation and agency emerge in protocell ecologies under prebiotic conditions.

This study identifies risk factors for Ehrlichia canis infection in urban dogs in Iquitos, Peru, and suggests targeted interventions to reduce transmission.

The paper shows inherited stress responses in plants can benefit or harm aphids depending on metabolite type and ecological context.

This study documents in situ coral spawning for three species in Zanzibar, revealing species-specific timing and behaviors, which contribute to understanding reproductive patterns in the Western Indian Ocean.

This study assesses RVFV seroprevalence and risk factors in cattle in northern Tanzania between 2007 and 2024, identifying age, sex, herd size, water access, and geography as significant predictors.

This study examines how different Beta vulgaris genotypes affect oviposition, nymphal development, and below-ground olfactory preferences of Pentastiridius leporinus, revealing mismatches between adult and nymphal behaviors.

This study investigates day-night habitat use of fish on oyster reefs and unstructured habitats, finding greater diversity during the day and diel shifts in species composition.

This study shows that different rhizobial strains affect legume responses to drought and herbivory, altering plant traits and herbivore growth through tripartite interactions.

This study examines how long-term weather variations affect the demographic dynamics of Cirsium undulatum, showing resilience to increased drought under climate change.

The paper investigates how species identity and composition affect stony coral productivity in controlled experiments, finding that conspecific neighbors enhance productivity more than heterospecifics.

This study extends an eco-cultural model to analyze how spatial bottlenecks affect cultural and ecological spread, finding that cultural waves can be blocked by narrow corridors while ecological waves are unaffected.

This study investigates how microbial legacies and mutualists affect legume responses to drought and heat, finding that mutualists can mitigate negative impacts of drought-treated soils.

The paper examines the weak effects of prey density and spatial overlap on cod predation in the Baltic Sea using spatiotemporal data and geostatistical models.

The paper evaluates how plant invasions affect tick exposure risk through microclimate and host abundance pathways in native and invaded plant communities.

This study reviews meta-analyses on agricultural impacts on cropland biodiversity, identifying data gaps in taxonomic coverage and management practice analysis.

This study evaluates the ecological and economic benefits of sustainable agricultural practices through on-farm trials in Australia, finding similar yields and profits between conventional and sustainable methods while supporting biodiversity.
