This study identifies spatio-temporal dynamics and ecological niche factors influencing Theileria equi infection in Portugal using field-surveillance data and environmental variables.

This paper develops a method to predict seabird-vessel interactions using only seabird telemetry data, showing high accuracy but limitations in distinguishing fishing from nonfishing vessels.

This study examines how nutrient enrichment and water scarcity interact to affect floral traits and pollinator visitation in grassland species, showing species-specific responses and shifts in pollination dynamics.

This study tests using concrete waste to supply calcium and alkalinity for coccolithophore cultivation, showing increased calcite production and CO2 removal potential.

This study examines how elevated temperature and CO2 affect Wolbachia abundance and host fitness in a stored-product pest, finding stable cytoplasmic incompatibility despite changes in Wolbachia dynamics.

The paper examines long-term biodiversity responses to human activity in coastal wetlands using sedimentary DNA and environmental data, finding context-dependent relationships between enrichment and biodiversity.

The paper introduces MillionTrees, a global benchmark dataset for airborne tree detection, showing that current models struggle to generalize across diverse data and that training on MillionTrees improves performance.

This study uses ancient environmental DNA to show how whaling and climate change impacted Antarctic marine biodiversity over two centuries.

This study investigates Arcellinida diversity in tropical peatlands, finding higher species richness in zones with developed understory vegetation and distinct community composition compared to extratropical ecosystems.

The paper reanalyzes transcriptomic data to show that biochar exposure primes Formica japonica ants epigenetically, enhancing their resilience to environmental stressors.

The paper presents an optimized geospatial prioritization scheme for bird conservation in Eastern Canada using linear programming to maximize population coverage.

The paper shows that the human gut microbiota recovers to an individual-specific state after antibiotics, not to a generic healthy state.

This study integrates GEDI LiDAR with an existing data assimilation system to improve terrestrial carbon monitoring, reducing woody biomass uncertainty by 63.7% and achieving RMSE reduction of 38.3 kg/m2.

The paper identifies the source population of recolonized rhinoceros in Laokhowa-Burhachapori WLS using genetic and landscape connectivity analyses, finding Orang NP as the likely source.

The paper develops a mathematical framework for demographic senescence, showing how interdependent sub-systems lead to faster senescence and Gompertz-Makeham mortality patterns.

This study compares ecological and governance trends in Spanish clam fisheries, finding that adaptive management in Andalusia led to more resilient outcomes compared to fragmented governance in the northwest Mediterranean.

This study evaluates optimal seed-priming techniques for two native desert plants to enhance germination and assess seed longevity under artificial aging conditions.

This paper validates static food web diet matrices using stable isotope simulation to identify discrepancies and improve model accuracy.

The paper models how antiviral resistance mechanisms in phytoplankton affect virus population dynamics, showing that bet-hedging strategies and intracellular resistance strongly reduce viral spread.

The paper quantifies thermal buffering by intertidal macroalgae, showing that species, cover, tidal level, and solar exposure significantly influence microclimate temperatures.
