Warming-induced range expansion effects on the diversity and composition of the gut microbiome: a case study with two butterflies

This study examines how warming-induced range expansion in two butterfly species affects their gut microbiome diversity and composition, finding increased variability and reduced core bacterial communities in expanded ranges.

Habitat fragmentation and food security in crop pollination systems

This study models how habitat fragmentation affects crop yields through pollination, showing that biodiversity and landscape structure are critical for stable food production.

Reconciling biodiversity conservation, food production and farmers’ demand

The paper models how landscape composition affects biodiversity and crop production, finding intermediate semi-natural habitat levels can balance stakeholder demands.

Profiling immunoglobulin repertoires across multiple human tissues by RNA Sequencing

The paper develops ImReP, a computational method to profile TCR and BCR repertoires from RNA-seq data, creating a large atlas of immunological sequences across 53 tissues.

Dual RNAseq of human leprosy lesions identifies bacterial determinants linked to host immune response

The paper uses dual RNAseq to analyze leprosy lesions, linking bacterial states to host immune responses through type I IFNs and antibody pathways.

Trade-offs in provisioning and stability of multiple ecosystem services in agroecosystems

The paper develops a model to study trade-offs and synergies in ecosystem services in agroecosystems, showing how landscape composition affects service stability and crop production.

A Phylogenomic Study Quantifies Competing Mechanisms for Pseudogenization in Prokaryotes

This study identifies two mechanisms for pseudogenization in prokaryotes using phylogenomic analysis of Mycobacterium leprae and other bacteria.
