When does a parasite become a disease? eDNA unravels complex host-pathogen dynamics across environmental stress gradients in wild salmonid populations

The paper uses eDNA and niche modeling to show that environmental stressors, not just parasite abundance, drive disease emergence in wild salmonids.

Genetic diversity affects ecosystem functions across trophic levels as much as species diversity, but in an opposite direction

The paper examines how genetic and species diversity affect ecosystem functions across trophic levels, finding they have opposite impacts.

Cytoskeleton remodeling induced by SMYD2 methyltransferase drives breast cancer metastasis

This study identifies SMYD2 as a master regulator of breast cancer metastasis and shows that targeting the SMYD2-BCAR3-FMNL axis can prevent metastatic spread.

The Ribosome Profiling landscape of yeast reveals a high diversity in pervasive translation

The paper analyzes Ribosome Profiling data in yeast to show noncoding regions exhibit diverse translation signals, including non-canonical ones, and that translation of noncoding ORFs is determined by start codon and codon distribution.

Barrier mitigation measures trigger the rapid recovery of genetic connectivity in five freshwater fish species

The paper assesses the impact of barrier mitigation measures on genetic connectivity in five freshwater fish species, finding rapid recovery within twelve months of restoration.

Intraspecific diversity loss in a predator species alters prey community structure and ecosystem functions

This study shows that loss of intraspecific diversity in a predator fish affects prey communities and ecosystem functions through trophic cascades, with both genetic and functional richness playing significant roles.

Assessing metacommunity processes through signatures in spatiotemporal turnover of community composition

This paper introduces a framework to analyze metacommunity dynamics using spatiotemporal turnover signatures and applies it to simulated and empirical datasets to show environmental filtering varies across space and time.

Quantifying the individual impact of artificial barriers in freshwaters: A standardized and absolute genetic index of fragmentation

This paper introduces a standardized genetic index (FINDEX) to quantify the individual impact of artificial barriers on river connectivity using genetic differentiation data.

Genetic erosion reduces biomass temporal stability in wild fish populations.

The paper shows that high genetic diversity in wild fish populations correlates with greater biomass stability over time, despite no difference in maximum biomass compared to low genetic diversity populations.

Intraspecific variation alters ecosystem and next-generation performance as much as temperature

The paper shows that intraspecific variation in fish has ecological and transgenerational effects comparable to temperature changes.

The community and ecosystem consequences of intraspecific diversity: a meta-analysis

This paper investigates how intraspecific diversity affects community dynamics and ecosystem functioning through a meta-analysis across multiple species.

Systematic conservation planning for intraspecific genetic diversity.

The paper uses systematic conservation planning to identify priority areas for intraspecific genetic diversity across multiple freshwater fish species in France.

Contribution of spatial heterogeneity in effective population sizes to the variance in pairwise measures of genetic differentiation

This paper introduces and tests metrics to quantify the impact of spatial heterogeneity in effective population sizes on genetic differentiation, finding SHNe explains significant variance in Fst values.
