This paper reconstructs the invasion history and potential distribution of two ambrosia beetles, revealing distinct climatic niches and higher invasion risk for E. fornicatus.

This study shows microplastics transfer through mosquito life stages, affecting development and survival, with higher concentrations causing greater harm.

The paper shows that early-life environmental conditions affect male Antarctic fur seal recruitment and population dynamics, linking environmental variability to population decline through delayed recruitment strategies.

The paper shows that range-edge populations can adapt to warming only when evolving with interspecific competitors, enabling both high-temperature tolerance and broader thermal performance.

The paper tracks changes in bird communities' interaction milieu over time, showing non-random structural shifts in association networks.

This paper estimates spatially adjusted temperature-dependent reproduction numbers for vector-borne diseases using simulations and real dengue data, finding that spatial weighting and temperature dependence improve Rt estimation accuracy.

The paper develops a BirdNET-based classifier for detecting orange-bellied parrots using passive acoustic monitoring and compares its efficacy to field surveys.

The paper shows that plant growth forms influence biodiversity patterns on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and prioritizing trees and climbers can effectively capture most diversity with minimal area.

This study shows that post-mating odors in butterflies serve ecological roles like deterring predators and parasitoids, not just sexual selection.

The paper models habitat suitability for four invasive weeds to identify multi-species invasion hotspots for targeted management in complex landscapes.

The paper uses satellite data and field surveys to predict bird communities in the Peruvian Amazon, finding that satellite-derived variables better predict species occurrence than habitat categories.

This study examines agonistic interactions between Atlantic blue crabs and European green crabs in the Gulf of Maine, finding blue crabs kill green crabs, especially smaller ones, with no effect from alternative prey.

This study shows that adaptive changes in E. coli under resource limitation reduce persistence in co-cultures with Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under spatially heterogeneous conditions.

The paper shows that temperature-induced evolutionary responses in microbial populations depend on both intraspecific and interspecific ecological interactions.

The paper introduces AS-AID, a database of annotated Antarctic seafloor images for biodiversity and habitat analysis.

The paper uses population genomics to study reproductive connectivity and kinship in bull sharks across different life stages and locations in Fiji.

This study tests if interspecific competition during range expansion leads to pushed wave dynamics and alters evolutionary patterns in duckweed species.

The paper examines thermal tolerance differences among cryptic coral taxa during a heatwave, finding that survival correlates with biological factors rather than environmental exposure.

The paper investigates how landscape complexity and management practices affect natural enemy distribution in Corsican citrus orchards, finding that organic farming and landscape heterogeneity support greater biodiversity.

The paper investigates how marine diatoms adapt to heat stress through proteomics analysis, finding that high-temperature-tolerant populations use a conservative cellular strategy under thermal stress but fail to adapt under low nitrate conditions.
