Mountain pine beetle spread in forests with varying host resistance

This study models mountain pine beetle spread, showing that host resistance can stop outbreaks and that jack pine may be a suitable host.

Targeted genome editing restores auditory function in adult mice with progressive hearing loss caused by a human microRNA mutation

This study uses genome editing in adult mice with a MIR96 mutation to restore hearing, showing efficacy that improves with earlier intervention.

A Standardized Antiviral Pipeline for Human Norovirus in Human Intestinal Enteroids Demonstrates No Antiviral Activity of Nitazoxanide

This study tests nitazoxanide's antiviral activity against human noroviruses using a standardized pipeline in human intestinal enteroids, finding no significant antiviral effect.

A parametric model for estimating the timing and intensity of animal migration

This paper introduces a parametric model to estimate migration timing and intensity from animal tracking data, demonstrating its application on three species with varying migratory behaviors.

Next-generation matrices for marine metapopulations: the case of sea lice on salmon farms

The paper applies next-generation matrices to marine metapopulations, identifying key sources of sea lice on salmon farms and their connectivity.

Beyond resource selection: emergent spatio-temporal distributions from animal movements and stigmergent interactions

The paper develops a stochastic individual-based model to study how animal movements and stigmergent interactions shape spatio-temporal distributions, showing how these interactions can lead to emergent patterns distinct from environmental factors alone.

Pancreas resident macrophage-induced fibrosis has divergent roles in pancreas inflammatory injury and PDAC

This study shows that pancreas resident macrophages (TRMs) have distinct roles in pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, promoting fibrosis in inflammation but driving cancer progression.

Time-dependent memory and individual variation in Arctic brown bears (Ursus arctos)

The paper analyzes movement patterns of Arctic brown bears using a time-dependent spatial memory model, finding significant individual variation in memory use.
