Specialists drive biodiversity scaling in symbiotic relationships

This study shows that specialist symbionts drive biodiversity scaling in host-symbiont networks and may account for most threatened species.

Machine Learning Enables Viral Genome-Agnostic Classification of RNA Virus Infections from Host Transcriptomes

The paper uses machine learning to classify RNA virus infections from host transcriptomes without relying on viral sequences, showing accurate classification across different viruses.

Deciphering the dynamics of Cyanobacteria-Phage in a natural lake: Insights from a decade-long investigation

This study investigates phage-cyanobacteria interactions in Lake Champlain over a decade, finding that phages share environmental niches with bacteria but exhibit distinct dynamics and co-variation patterns.

Hosts, parasites, and their interactions respond to different climatic variables

The paper shows that species interactions vary more with climate than individual species do, highlighting the importance of considering interactions in community studies.

Bringing Elton and Grinnell together: a quantitative framework to represent the biogeography of ecological interaction networks

The paper develops a quantitative framework to model the biogeography of ecological interaction networks, finding that environmental factors influence species co-occurrence but not interactions, which are stochastic.

Beyond species: why ecological interaction networks vary through space and time

The paper argues that current species interaction network models are inadequate and proposes considering intra-specific variability to improve predictive understanding of ecological interactions.
