To kill, stay or flee: the effects of lions and landscape factors on habitat and kill site selection of cheetahs in South Africa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Understanding how animals utilize available space is important for their conservation, as it provides insight into the ecological needs of the species, including those related to habitat, prey and inter and intraspecific interactions.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Using field‐based holo‐omics, we demonstrate that developmental shifts in sorghum leaf metabolomes drive a noncanonical fungal succession from stress tolerators (S) through ruderals (R) to competitors (C). Antifungal metabolites in young leaves select for S strategists with expanded genomes, transient maltose pulses during flowering favor fast‐growing ...

Variable Selection and Model Choice in Geoadditive Regression Models [PDF]
, 2007 Model choice and variable selection are issues of major concern in practical regression analyses. We propose a boosting procedure that facilitates both tasks in a class of complex geoadditive regression models comprising spatial effects, nonparametric ...

Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

Resource Partitioning by Two Species of Stream Mayflies (Ephemeroptera: Heptageniidae) [PDF]
, 2017 We compared the phenology of nymph development, food type, and habitat selection of two stream mayflies, Stenacron interpunctatum (Say) and Stenonema pulchellum (Walsh) in Big Darby Creek, Ohio.

Trophic Diversity in Duckweed: Mixotrophy, More Than the Sum of its Extremes
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In the context of rising DOC in aquatic environments, mixotrophic duckweed may impact carbon cycling by acting as either a carbon sink, as they absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, or a carbon source, as they release CO2 through respiration of absorbed DOC, which depends on DOC concentration, light availability, temperature, and other environmental ...
