Lyophilization is a key process used in the production of biotherapeutic products. This article reviews and discusses the application of HSI on lyophilization, and the strategies that use the resulting data to build models. It is intended to provide guidance and insights for non‐specialist researchers and engineers into leveraging HSI and the data ...

Phenological turnover matters when making trait‐based predictions of plant–pollinator interactions
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the processes determining species' interactions is key to predicting and safeguarding ecological networks under rapid environmental change. One approach to estimating interactions is to use morphologies of taxa interacting across trophic levels to reveal ...

Summary Invasion by exotic plants is a major threat to ecosystem biodiversity globally. Although mutualistic belowground associations can play a significant role in successful invasion, studies have shown mixed results regarding the effects of plant invasion on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Here, we tested how exotic dominance (i.e.

Jaccard dissimilarity in stochastic community models based on the species‐independence assumption
A fundamental problem in ecology is understanding the changes in species composition among sites (i.e. beta‐diversity). It is unclear how spatial heterogeneity in species occupancy across sites shapes patterns of beta‐diversity. To address this question, we develop probabilistic models that consider two spatial or temporal sites, where presence ...
