This paper uses simulations to study how habitat transformation affects biodiversity, finding that adaptation can reduce species diversity while habitat change has mixed short- and long-term effects.

This study maps parasite dissemination patterns in visceral leishmaniasis using a barcoded library and ecological analysis, revealing bi-directional highways and super-seeder tissues.

The paper examines the exploitation ratios of demersal fish species in the Celtic Seas and finds no evidence that rarer species have lower exploitation ratios than common ones, suggesting current management methods are insufficient for conserving the assemblage as a whole.

The paper models how cell size and binary cell fusion rate coevolve under different environmental conditions, showing that cell fusion provides a survival advantage during stress.

This study develops a probabilistic model to simulate Leishmania transmission dynamics, showing that skin heterogeneity affects short-lived flies while vector population dynamics dominate for longer-lived flies.
