Whisker stimulation reinforces a resting-state network in the barrel cortex: nested oscillations and avalanches

The paper investigates resting-state activity in the rat barrel cortex and shows that 11 Hz oscillations and neuronal avalanches are modulated by slower rhythms and are involved in sensory responses to whisker stimulation.

Emergent Ecological Patterns and Modelling of Gut Microbiomes in Health and in Disease

This study investigates ecological patterns in gut microbiomes to determine if they can distinguish healthy from diseased states, using metagenomics data and population dynamics models.

Synthetic Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics in Simple Molecular Environment

This study uses a synthetic in vitro system to investigate eco-evolutionary dynamics, finding that initial selection is driven by resource binding strength, while later interactions lead to mutualism and parasitism.

Genomic evidence for global ocean plankton biogeography shaped by large-scale current systems

The paper analyzes plankton genomic distribution across oceans to show how large-scale currents shape biogeography, revealing size-dependent patterns and basin-scale transport effects.

Statistical Physics of DNA melting: Unveiling the artificial corrections for self-complementary sequences

This paper derives a statistical physics framework for DNA hybridization and melting, showing that self-complementary sequences do not require artificial entropic corrections.

Constrained proteome allocation affects coexistence inmodels of competitive microbial communities

The paper develops a new framework integrating proteome allocation into microbial community models to better understand coexistence dynamics.

Inferring macro-ecological patterns from local species’ occurrences

This paper introduces a framework to infer biodiversity patterns at large scales using presence-absence data, showing improved accuracy compared to existing methods.

Adaptive metabolic strategies in consumer-resource models

The paper introduces adaptive metabolic strategies into consumer-resource models to explain microbial growth and community dynamics without relying on specific molecular mechanisms.

Biodiversity of Tropical Forests

This paper introduces a framework to estimate biodiversity in tropical forests, showing that previous methods overestimate species counts and revealing hyper-rarity as a buffer against mass extinctions.
