Hierarchizing multi-scale environmental effects on agricultural pest population dynamics: a case study on the annual onset of Bactrocera dorsalis population growth in Senegalese orchards

The paper uses machine learning to identify environmental drivers of Bactrocera dorsalis population dynamics in Senegalese mango orchards, finding humidity and temperature as key factors.

Emergent periodicity in the collective synchronous flashing of fireflies

This paper studies how fireflies synchronize their flashing in swarms and proposes a mathematical framework to explain the emergence of periodicity without fitting parameters.

A dual function for the chromatin organizer Special A-T rich Binding Protein 1 in B-lineage cells

This study investigates SATB1's role in B-lineage cells, finding it is not essential for B cell development but acts as both a positive and negative regulator of Ig gene transcription in naive and activated B cells, respectively.

The IgH Eμ-MAR regions promote UNG-dependent error-prone repair to optimize somatic hypermutation

The paper shows that IgH Eμ-MAR regions limit error-prone repair to the variable region of Ig genes by promoting UNG-dependent repair, affecting somatic hypermutation patterns.

SILand: an R package for estimating the spatial influence of landscape

The paper introduces an R package called siland for analyzing the effect of landscape features on georeferenced point observations, estimating spatial scales and intensities of landscape variable effects.

Lactation curve model with explicit representation of perturbations as a phenotyping tool for dairy livestock precision farming

The paper develops a lactation curve model that explicitly represents perturbations to quantify their impact on milk production in dairy goats, identifying 2,354 perturbations across 181 goats.

Validation of a novel milk progesterone-based tool to monitor luteolysis in dairy cows. Timing of the alerts and robustness against missing values

This paper validates two algorithms for detecting luteolysis in dairy cows using simulated milk progesterone data, finding that PMASC detects luteolysis earlier and is more robust to missing values than a Kalman filter approach.

Asymmetric clustering of centrosomes defines the early evolution of tetraploid cells

The paper shows that tetraploid cells lose extra centrosomes through natural selection, favoring cells with a single centrosome in asymmetric divisions.
