A highly resolved network reveals the role of terrestrial herbivory in structuring aboveground food webs

The paper constructs a high-resolution terrestrial aboveground food web revealing unique structural properties of herbivory and carnivory interactions.

Downtown Diet: a global meta-analysis of urbanization on consumption patterns of vertebrate predators

This study analyzes how urbanization affects predator diets globally, finding that dietary diversity and nitrogen ratios remain similar, but carbon consumption increases, with no significant effect from human footprint intensity.

An Organotypic Mammary Duct Model Capturing Distinct Events of DCIS Progression

This paper develops an organotypic mammary duct model to study DCIS progression, showing it can recapitulate different stages of breast cancer progression and respond to matrix stiffness.

Fear not: avoidance behavior missing in species sympatric with the critically endangered West African lion

The paper finds no evidence of avoidance behavior in species coexisting with critically endangered West African lions, suggesting potential functional extinction in their range.

Humans induce differential access to prey for large African carnivores

The paper shows human presence alters the diel activity of prey species, increasing access to prey for lions and hyenas while leaving leopards unaffected.

Three-dimensional single cell patterning for mid- to high-throughput studies of tumor cell and extracellular matrix heterogeneity

The paper introduces a low-cost 3D cell patterning method to study tumor cell and ECM heterogeneity under biomechanical stimuli.

Structural brain development: a review of methodological approaches and best practices

This review examines methodological variations in longitudinal MRI studies of structural brain development and suggests best practices to improve consistency and accuracy in findings.
