Evaluating the ileal and cecal microbiota composition of a 1940 heritage genetic line and a 2016 commercial line of white leghorns fed representative diets from 1940 and 2016

This study compares the ileal and cecal microbiota of 1940 and 2016 white leghorn genetic lines fed diets from their respective eras, finding significant differences in alpha and beta diversity but no genetic lineage differences.

PLEKHS1 drives PI3Ks and remodels pathway homeostasis in PTEN-null prostate

The paper identifies PLEKHS1 as a driver of PI3K activity in PTEN-null prostate tissue, showing it bypasses feedback mechanisms to promote tumour progression.

The LCLAT1/LYCAT acyltransferase is required for EGF-mediated phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate generation and Akt signalling

This study shows that LCLAT1 is required for EGF-mediated PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 generation and Akt signaling in cancer and retinal cells.

Aspects of flow variability and spatial context predict temporal beta diversity in river metacommunities

The paper investigates factors predicting temporal beta diversity in river metacommunities, finding flow regimes and spatial metrics are stronger predictors than environmental variables.

Body size dependent dispersal influences stability in heterogeneous metacommunities

The paper examines how body size-dependent dispersal affects food web stability in heterogeneous metacommunities and finds that positive dispersal rate scaling with body size can stabilize systems, but this effect diminishes with increased patch coupling.

Reclassification of seven honey bee symbiont strains as Bombella apis

The paper reclassifies seven honey bee symbiont strains as Bombella apis based on phylogenetic and sequence identity analyses.

Omnivory does not preclude strong trophic cascades

The paper analyzes models of top omnivores with fixed or flexible diets to show that omnivory can generate strong trophic cascades under specific conditions.

The Queen Gut Refines with Age: Longevity Phenotypes in a Social Insect Model

This study compares gut microbiota changes with aging in long-lived honey bee queens and short-lived worker honey bees, finding reversed microbial succession patterns linked to longevity.

Compensation masks trophic cascades in complex food webs

The paper investigates trophic cascades in complex food webs and finds that compensatory responses within trophic guilds can mask cascades, primarily occurring in low richness and weakly connected webs.
