Integrating biotic factors into niche modeling: a case study with Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus in the Americas [PDF]

Frontiers of Biogeography
The cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is known to transmit both anaplasmosis and babesiosis, two diseases that have important impacts on animal health.

The global distribution of Bacillus anthracis and associated anthrax risk to humans, livestock and wildlife. [PDF]

, 2019
Bacillus anthracis is a spore-forming, Gram-positive bacterium responsible for anthrax, an acute infection that most significantly affects grazing livestock and wild ungulates, but also poses a threat to human health.

Bioenergy Cropping Reduces the Spatiotemporal Scaling of Soil Bacterial Biodiversity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Consistent with patterns observed in plant and animal communities, soil bacterial communities exhibit significant species–time–area and phylogenetic–time–area relationships independent of nested structure. Bioenergy cropping significantly reduces the spatiotemporal scaling rates, particularly in sandy loam soils.

Transcription Factor Promiscuity Drives Regulatory Rewiring and Evolvability in Gene Networks in Bacteria

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
When a master transcription factor (TF) is lost, bacteria can rapidly rewire gene regulatory networks by co‐opting related regulators. Using experimental evolution in Pseudomonas fluorescens, we show that TF promiscuity (low‐level, non‐cognate binding) provides the raw material for rewiring. Successful co‐option follows a predictable hierarchy governed

Ecological niche divergence and specialization in Dianthus pseudocrinitus, a neo-endemic species: ecological evidence challenges sister-taxon delimitation

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Clarifying species boundaries within taxonomically complex groups like Dianthus is paramount for understanding evolutionary processes and biodiversity. This study employed a spatially explicit, integrative ecological approach to assess the niche dynamics

Historical contingency in species interactions: towards niche-based predictions. [PDF]

, 2013
The way species affect one another in ecological communities often depends on the order of species arrival. The magnitude of such historical contingency, known as priority effects, varies across species and environments, but this variation has proven ...

Macrophage Extracellular Traps in Immunity and Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As a macrophage‐mediated innate defense mechanism, the dysregulated release of METs drives chronic inflammation and influences tumor progression. Furthermore, METs exhibit a functional duality within the tumor microenvironment, capable of both promoting and suppressing tumor development.

Niche modeling reveals life history shifts in birds at La Brea over the last twenty millennia.

PLoS ONE, 2020
A species presence at a particular site can change over time, resulting in temporally dynamic species pools. Ecological niche models provide estimates of species presence at different time intervals.

New record and update on the geographical distribution of Pintomyia monticola (Costa Lima, 1932) (Diptera: Psychodidae) in South America [PDF]

Check List, 2015
The phlebotomine sand fly Pintomyia monticola (Costa Lima, 1932) is recorded for the first time in Brasília, central-west Brazil. A review of the geographical distribution of the species in South America is presented, and its distribution is extended ...

Integrating Spatial Proteogenomics in Cancer Research

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Xx xx. ABSTRACT Background: Spatial proteogenomics marks a paradigm shift in oncology by integrating molecular analysis with spatial information from both spatial proteomics and other data modalities (e.g., spatial transcriptomics), thereby unveiling tumor heterogeneity and dynamic changes in the microenvironment.
