Ecological metabolomics of tropical tree communities across an elevational gradient: Implications for chemically-mediated biotic interactions and species diversity
D. Henderson, B. E. Sedio, J. S. Tello, L. Cayola, A. F. Fuentes, B. Alvestegui, N. Muchhala, J. A. Myers
This study uses ecological metabolomics to show that chemical dissimilarity among tree species increases with species richness and warm, wet climates, supporting the role of chemically mediated biotic interactions in shaping elevational diversity gradients.

Latitudinal scaling of aggregation with abundance and its consequences for coexistence in species rich forests
T. Wiegand, X. Wang, S. Fischer, N. J. B. Kraft, N. A. Bourg, W. Y. Brockelman, M. Cao, W. Chanthorn, C. Chu, S. Davies, S. Ediriweera, C. V. S. Gunatilleke, I. A. U. N. Gunatilleke, Z. Hao, R. Howe, , A. Huth
The paper examines latitudinal patterns in species aggregation and abundance, showing how these patterns affect coexistence in forests and introduces a framework to model their impact on extinction risk.

Functional interplay between SWI/SNF complexes underlies BRD9 dependency in SMARCB1-mutant cancers
R. J. Mobley, J. A. Myers, K. M. Wills, H. A. Malone, T. I. Manzano, J. F. Partridge, C. W. M. Roberts
The paper investigates the functional interactions between SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes, showing that SMARCB1 loss affects BRD9 binding and contributes to oncogenesis in SMARCB1-mutant cancers.

The evolutionary assembly of forest communities along environmental gradients: recent diversification or sorting of pre-adapted clades?
A. G. Linan, J. A. Myers, C. E. Edwards, A. E. Zanne, S. A. Smith, G. Arellano, L. Cayola, W. Farfan-Rios, A. F. Fuentes, K. Garcia-Cabrera, S. Gonzales-Caro, M. I. Loza, M. J. Macia, Y. Malhi, B. Nieto-Ariza, , S. J. Tello
The paper investigates how environmental gradients shape community assembly through immigration and sorting of pre-adapted clades versus recent diversification, finding clade sorting dominates species turnover along elevational gradients.

Conspecific negative density dependence and why its study should not be abandoned
J. A. LaManna, S. A. Mangan, J. A. Myers
The paper clarifies conceptual and statistical errors in density dependence studies and suggests a combined observational and experimental approach to study conspecific negative density dependence.

Tetracyclines Modify Translation By Targeting Key Human rRNA Substructures.
J. D. Mortison, M. Schenone, J. A. Myers, Z. Zhang, L. Chen, C. Ciarlo, E. Comer, S. K. Natchiar, S. A. Carr, B. P. Klaholz, A. G. Myers
This study identifies tetracyclines as targeting human rRNA substructures, modifying translation and activating the ISR, which correlates with their anti-proliferative effects in cancer cells.
