This study shows that habituation in black bears alters their gut microbiome composition and function, leading to increased antimicrobial resistance and other health-related changes.

The paper uses RAD-capture data to analyze gene flow in urban coyotes, finding urban cores act as leaky sinks that maintain regional genetic connectivity.

This paper introduces rhea, a reference-free method for detecting structural variants in microbiomes using long-read coassembly graphs, showing improved performance over existing methods in simulated and real metagenomic data.
