eDNA surveys substantially expand known geographic and ecological niche boundaries of marine fishes.
PLoS BiologyAssessing species geographic distributions is critical to approximate their ecological niches, understand how global change may reshape their occurrence patterns, and predict their extinction risks.

Into the Light: Diurnality has Evolved Multiple Times in Geckos [PDF]
, 2015 Geckos are the only major lizard group consisting mostly of nocturnal species. Nocturnality is presumed to have evolved early in gecko evolution and geckos possess numerous adaptations to functioning in low light and at low temperatures. However, not all

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Streptococcus anginosus extracellular vesicles (SA‐EVs) accumulate in gastric tissue, disrupt epithelial tight junctions, and induce gastritis characterized by neutrophil infiltration and elevated cytokines (TNF‐α, IL‐6, IL‐17A). Proteomics identifies TMPC and FBP62 as key SA‐EVs virulence factors; their genetic deletion attenuates inflammation ...

a variational approach to niche construction [PDF]
, 2018 In evolutionary biology, niche construction is sometimes described as a genuine evolutionary process whereby organisms, through their activities and regulatory mechanisms, modify their environment such as to steer their own evolutionary trajectory, and ...

Scientific Reports, 2019 The ability of ecological niche models (ENMs) to produce robust predictions for different time frames (i.e. temporal transferability) may be hindered by a lack of ecologically relevant predictors. Model performance may also be affected by species traits,

MGM as a Large‐Scale Pretrained Foundation Model for Microbiome Analyses in Diverse Contexts
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We present the Microbial General Model (MGM), a transformer‐based foundation model pretrained on over 260,000 microbiome samples. MGM learns contextualized microbial representations via self‐supervised language modeling, enabling robust transfer learning, cross‐regional generalization, keystone taxa discovery, and prompt‐guided generation of realistic,

Do Faster-Growing Holoparasitic Plant Species Exhibit Broader Niches and Wider Global Distributions?
PlantsParasitic organisms, as an important component of ecosystems, have long been a focal point in ecological research, particularly concerning the relationship between their growth characteristics, ecological niche, and distribution patterns.

Niche partitioning among sexual and unisexual Ambystoma salamanders
Ecosphere, 2016 Organisms that have ecologically similar sexual and asexual forms present an evolutionary puzzle, as theory predicts that eventually one form should eliminate the other.

Hierarchical heterogenity of populations: modeling by the open Eigen hypercycle [PDF]
, 2012 The case of a biological population, which consists of sev-eral sub-populations (different kinds of the population ”so-cial” groups: families, bevies, etc.), has been considered.
