The paper investigates the genetic interactions between ELF3, PRR9, and PRR7 in Arabidopsis, revealing complex epistatic relationships affecting circadian rhythms and plant development.

This study models the evolution of gamete size and fertilization rates in switching environments, showing transitions from isogamy to anisogamy to oogamy through evolutionary branching and sexual conflict.

The paper shows increased dispersal can raise local diversity but reduce regional diversity, and may make communities more resistant to invasions despite global biodiversity loss.

This paper develops a mathematical model explaining the evolution of parthenogen fertilization rates and reproductive modes through coevolution of fertilization rate and cell size.

The paper uses mathematical modeling and single-cell data to show how macrophage heterogeneity under LPS drives primary and secondary responses, with hypo-responsiveness linked to state transitions in a 3- or 4-state model.

The paper uses spatial point pattern analysis to study parasite dispersal in L. donovani infection, revealing patchy distribution and spread through recruited myeloid cells.

The paper systematically analyzes Leishmania protein kinases to identify those regulating differentiation and survival across life cycle stages.
