Environment and host infection history jointly predict disease risk in a multi-pathogen system

The paper predicts disease risk in a multi-pathogen system by integrating environmental factors and host infection history, showing both are critical for accurate forecasts.

Host traits, phylogeny, and symbiont identity explain variation in colony-level symbiont switching across reef-building corals

This study examines colony-level symbiont switching in corals, finding that host traits, phylogeny, and resident symbiont identity are key predictors of switching behavior under environmental change.

The Acropora millepora microbiome is predicted by algal symbionts, host genetics, and environment

The study predicts coral microbiome composition using host genetics, algal symbionts, and environmental factors in Acropora millepora during a bleaching event.

From sediment to coral symbionts: persistent spatial structure across reef microbiomes

This study compares spatial and temporal dynamics of microbial and Symbiodiniaceae communities in reef sediments and corals, finding persistent spatial structure despite temporal changes in sediments.

The battle of the sexes in humans is highly polygenic

This study quantifies sex-differential selection (SDS) across the human genome using UK Biobank data, revealing polygenic signals and a tradeoff between viability and fecundity.
