This study sequenced genomes of hundreds of Paramecium isolates worldwide to investigate population-genetic patterns, finding geographic differentiation and speciation driven by genetic isolation.

This study analyzes mitochondrial genomes of Paramecium to explore evolutionary dynamics, revealing cryptic diversity, conserved genes, and patterns of molecular evolution.

The paper compiles over 3500 quantitative raptor diet records from 1000 studies into a database with metadata on location, time, and prey species.

The paper integrates predator energetics and behavior into a functional response model to explain indirect interactions in a vertebrate community, finding that predator energetic balance drives changes in prey interactions.

This paper introduces an optimized Julia framework for Gillespie Eco-evolutionary Models (GEMs) to simulate eco-evolutionary dynamics with improved computational efficiency.

The paper derives a new functional response model for predators handling multiple prey and shows it can explain coexistence dynamics not captured by traditional Type I, II, or III models.

The paper proposes two rules to explain the scaling of trophic interaction strengths using predator functional responses, validated across 2,100 experiments.

The paper examines how heritable variation in body size and movement traits of Paramecium caudatum affects predation risk by copepods, revealing independent selection pressures on these traits.

The paper compiles and standardizes functional response data from diverse ecosystems into the FoRAGE database, providing parameters and experimental details for consumer-resource interactions.
