Metacommunity theory and metabarcoding reveal the environmental, spatial, and biotic drivers of meiofaunal communities in sandy beaches

The paper uses metacommunity theory and metabarcoding to analyze meiofaunal communities in sandy beaches, finding environmental and spatial factors drive community assembly.

Plastic responses to past environments shape adaptation to novel selection pressures

This study shows ancestral plasticity to salt helped Silene uniflora adapt to zinc in mine-waste environments, demonstrating past-cue plasticity's role in rapid adaptation to novel habitats.

Comparative population genomics of manta rays has global implications for management

This study uses comparative population genomics to show that oceanic manta rays have higher genetic diversity and connectivity than reef manta rays, with implications for conservation management.

A diversity of diversities: do complex environmental effects underpin associations between below- and aboveground taxa?

This study examines how environmental factors and biotic interactions shape biodiversity relationships between above- and belowground taxa across multiple habitats in Wales.

100 years of anthropogenic impact causes changes in freshwater functional biodiversity

The paper uses AI to analyze 100 years of freshwater biodiversity data, showing that insecticides, fungicides, and climate factors explain most functional biodiversity changes.

Managing human mediated range shifts: understanding spatial, temporal and genetic variation in marine non- native species

The paper investigates range shifts in marine non-native species using a combination of non-molecular surveys, genetic analysis, and environmental DNA metabarcoding to assess spatial and temporal variation.

Fauxcurrence: simulating multi-species occurrences for null models in species distribution modelling and biogeography

The paper introduces fauxcurrence, a tool to generate null species occurrence data for biogeography and species distribution modeling, showing it outperforms existing methods in capturing spatial structure.

Consistent marine biogeographic boundaries across the tree of life despite centuries of human impacts

The paper investigates marine biogeographic patterns across different domains of life using eDNA metabarcoding, finding consistent structures despite human impacts.

Mutational, transcriptional and viral shedding dynamics of the marine turtle fibropapillomatosis tumor epizootic

This study investigates the mutational, transcriptional, and viral shedding dynamics of fibropapillomatosis in marine turtles, revealing molecular differences between tumor types and identifying potential therapeutic targets.

Temperate grass allergy season defined by spatio-temporal shifts in airborne pollen communities

The paper tracks seasonal changes in airborne grass pollen communities across Britain, revealing temporally restricted peaks and latitudinal variation in pollen exposure.
