Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization
Ecography, EarlyView.In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

No genetic differentiation among populations up to 300 km apart in three species of carrion beetles
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Habitat fragmentation threatens biodiversity by disrupting gene flow; understanding species' dispersal abilities is key to determining whether they are limited by habitat or mobility. Carrion beetles show no significant population genetic structure across up to 320 km, indicating high dispersal ability and unrestricted gene flow.

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Botulism is a severe and often fatal disease in equine patients worldwide. Clostridium botulinum is a ubiquitous soil organism which produces a potent neurotoxin resulting in neuromuscular blockade and flaccid paralysis in affected animals. Definitive diagnosis is often impractical or impossible, leading to diagnosis and treatment based on ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Gle1 knockout mice fail to segregate cell lineages at the blastocyst stage, resulting in very early embryonic lethality. Gle1 knock‐in (KI) mice harboring a pathogenic variant giving rise to lethal congenital contracture syndrome 1 show both known and novel innervation defects, supportive of multiorgan pathology in human fetuses.

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell
Ibis, EarlyView.Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...
