Can good broiler flock welfare prevent colonization by Campylobacter?

The paper investigates whether broiler flock welfare metrics affect Campylobacter colonization using logistic regression and Bayesian networks, finding no direct exacerbation but suggesting shared underlying causes.

The effect of dispersal and preferential mating on the genetic control of mosquitoes

This study investigates how mosquito dispersal and mating preferences affect the effectiveness of genetic control technologies for disease vectors.

Evolution and maintenance of microbe-mediated protection under occasional pathogen infection

This study shows that rare pathogen infections drive the evolution of microbe-mediated protection in C. elegans, which provides transgenerational immunity during pathogen encounters.

The ecological and epidemiological consequences of reproductive interference between the vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus

This study examines how reproductive interference between Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus affects their population dynamics and disease transmission.

Interaction modifications lead to greater robustness than pairwise non-trophic effects in food webs

This study compares the robustness of ecological networks with interaction modifications versus pairwise non-trophic effects under perturbations, finding interaction modifications provide greater stability.

Differential effects of conspecific and heterospecific density on the development of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus larvae

This study examines how conspecific and heterospecific larval densities affect survival and development in Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus, finding that competition persists even with sufficient resources.

Mammal extinctions and the increasing isolation of humans on the tree of life

The paper shows that mammals closely related to humans face higher extinction risks due to human impacts, threatening our evolutionary history and biodiversity.
