The paper constructs a mathematical model to analyze how density dependence affects genetic biocontrol strategies in pest populations, finding that strong density dependence increases resilience to suppression.

This paper presents 101 research questions for advancing Indian ornithology, identified through expert curation and scoring based on generality, novelty, and relevance.

This study characterizes endohyphal bacterial and viral communities in fungal endophytes, revealing host specialization in bacteria and limited viral associations, with dsDNA viruses dominating the virome.

The paper examines how prolonged low flows and non-native fish affect insect emergence in mountain streams, finding additive rather than synergistic or antagonistic effects.

This study evaluates the vectorial competence of Glossina brevipalpis in transmitting Trypanosoma congolense-savannah type, finding it to be a competent biological vector.

This study develops a dynamic environmental monitoring framework using high-resolution remote sensing imagery and image fusion to assess tourism impacts on Mount Emeishan, showing a 12.7% improvement in system stability over traditional methods.

This paper introduces a zero-inflated JSDM model to improve partial-correlation network inference from community data by accounting for structural zeros.

This study examines how microplastic exposure and heat affect bumblebee behavior, colony development, and social networks over one generation.

This study shows that plant diversity affects the metabolome of Plantago lanceolata through both plastic and adaptive responses, with soil history enhancing these effects.

This study investigates how ants use chemically diverse and pathogen-specific antimicrobial compounds to combat disease in social settings, finding that five out of six tested species inhibit the drug-resistant fungus Candida auris.

In field records from 3026 tropical sites, modeled bird and mammal seed dispersal disruption predicts slower natural-regrowth carbon accumulation, an estimated 57% average loss at candidate restoration sites.

The paper detects a community thermophilization signal of +0.13°C over 10 years in Swiss mountain roadsides, but highlights that cover-weighted models obscure this signal due to low cover values of gained/lost species.

This study investigates intraspecific genome size variation in Roscoea tibetica, finding environmental factors drive GS variation and smaller GS is advantageous for adaptation in alpine habitats.

The paper shows that hyper-dominant bird species drive unexpected functional shifts in North American bird communities over time.

The paper shows that aspect influences vegetation type in the Western Ghats, with north and west-facing slopes supporting more evergreen forests and south and east-facing slopes having more dry deciduous and thorn forests.

The paper uses LiDAR and hyperspectral data to model forest recovery after fires, finding that fire frequency may reduce resilience in Picea mariana stands.

This study examines how enhancing structural complexity in German forests affects soil microbial properties, finding site-specific effects influenced by soil moisture and understorey vegetation.

This study uses social media data and ecological niche models to map cultural ecosystem services in mountain protected areas and identify their drivers.

This study examines how diurnal mammals adjust their activity patterns in response to forest conversion into cashew orchards in West Africa, finding delayed diel activity in diurnal species.

This paper tests the use of megabarcoding to monitor forest soil macrofauna biodiversity, showing it can identify species at a competitive cost and reveal significant larval diversity.
