Structural enrichment attenuates colitis-associated colon cancer

The paper investigates how enriched versus impoverished housing conditions affect tumorigenesis in a mouse model of colitis-associated colon cancer, finding enriched housing reduces tumor burden.

Carcinoma-associated fibroblast-like tumor cells remodel the Ewing sarcoma tumor microenvironment

This study identifies a subpopulation of Ewing sarcoma cells with CAF-like properties that remodel the tumor microenvironment through ECM deposition.

Targeting oncogenic Wnt/β-catenin signaling in adrenocortical carcinoma disrupts ECM expression and impairs tumor growth.

This paper identifies a Wnt/β-catenin-regulated extracellular matrix (ECM) program in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) that promotes tumor growth and shows that inhibiting this pathway reduces tumor viability and growth in preclinical models.

Disentangling the effects of climate change, landscape heterogeneity, and scale on phenological metrics

This study examines how climate change, landscape heterogeneity, and scale affect phenological metrics using simulated landscapes and virtual plant species.

Areas of global importance for terrestrial biodiversity, carbon, and water

The paper identifies global terrestrial areas prioritized for conservation to maximize synergies between biodiversity, carbon retention, and water provisioning.

Assessing trait driver theory along abiotic gradients in tropical plant communities

The paper tests trait driver theory along a steep soil water availability gradient in tropical plant communities, finding shifts in trait distributions and functional convergence consistent with environmental filtering and phenotype-environment matching.

Drivers of plant traits and forest functional composition in coastal plant communities of the Atlantic Forest

The paper identifies key environmental drivers of functional composition in coastal Atlantic Forest restinga communities, highlighting water availability and soil chemistry as critical factors.

Maximum entropy models elucidate the contribution of metabolic traits to patterns of community assembly

This paper compares two MaxEnt models, METE and VEG, to assess how metabolic traits influence community assembly patterns.

Effects of anthropogenic wildfire activity in low elevation Pacific island vegetation communities in French Polynesia

The paper examines the effects of anthropogenic wildfire on vegetation in Moorea, French Polynesia, finding no significant impact on species richness but potential increases in invasive species abundance.

Revealing biases in the sampling of ecological interaction networks

This paper develops EcoNetGen to study sampling biases in ecological interaction networks and finds that sampling by species degree is most accurate for estimating network structure.
