The paper analyzes long-term changes in body mass of great tits, finding that early-life environmental factors drive decreases in adult and nestling mass over 47 years.

The paper develops COMET, a method to infer clonal hematopoiesis from bulk DNA methylation data, showing it accurately detects clonal expansion and replicates known genetic associations.

This study compares methods for measuring phenology in deciduous trees and phytophagous insects, showing how methodological choices affect understanding of trophic interactions at fine spatial scales.

This study finds that DNA methylation rates negatively scale with maximum lifespan across mammals in blood and skin.
