Neutralizing antibody responses and cellular responses against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 omicron subvariant BA.5 after an mRNA severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccine dose in kidney transplant recipients

This study evaluates antibody and cellular immune responses in kidney transplant recipients after three mRNA vaccine doses, finding lower neutralizing titers and T cell responses compared to healthy controls.

Plant-mycorrhizal associations may explain the latitudinal gradient of plant community assembly

This study links latitudinal plant community assembly patterns to mycorrhizal type prevalence, showing that ectomycorrhizal trees drive spatial clustering in understory communities.

Large scale eDNA database reveals latitudinal diversity gradients with seasonal variations

The paper withdraws due to data usage conflicts and does not provide findings.

Environmental filtering in marine fish communities is weakened during severe hypoxia season

This study shows that environmental filtering in marine fish communities weakens during severe hypoxia, despite increased environmental severity and heterogeneity.

Why species richness of plants and herbivorous insects do or do not correlate

The paper investigates how insect generality affects the correlation between plant and herbivorous insect species richness in semi-natural grasslands, finding that generality negatively impacts the correlation under specific conditions.
