Unraveling the role of environmental and anthropogenic drivers in shaping global patterns in mammal diversity

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Patterns in functional and phylogenetic diversity reflect ecological and evolutionary relationships among taxa, and thus can offer key insights into the mechanisms underlying species distributions. However, disentangling the relative influence of proximate environmental drivers versus biogeographic evolutionary history can be a challenge.

Apparent competition through facilitation between Melanoides tuberculata and Biomphalaria glabrata and the control of schistosomiasis

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2003
Interactions between two species that result in reduced growth rates for both and extinction of one of the species are generally considered cases of asymmetric interspecific competition.

Evolutionary trajectories of multiple defense traits across phylogenetic and geographic scales in Vitis

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The processes driving defense trait correlations may vary within and between species based on ecological or environmental contexts. However, most studies of plant defense theory fail to address this potential for shifts in trait correlations across scales.

Direct and indirect effects of climate change on a prairie plant community. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Climate change directly affects species by altering their physical environment and indirectly affects species by altering interspecific interactions such as predation and competition.

The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Seasonal variation in community structure and elevational distributions of mammals and birds in the Central Himalayas

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Montane species utilize various habitats along elevations to adapt to seasonality, providing an ideal opportunity to study how species respond to shifting environments. This study characterizes seasonal changes in community structure and elevational distributions across multiple taxa in the Central Himalayas.

Microbiota humanization drives human‐like metabolic and immune transcriptomic shifts in pigs

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
This study successfully established gut microbiota‐humanized pigs, achieved human‐like remodeling of the serum metabolome, and uncovered transcriptional alterations in immune cell subsets. These findings advance our understanding of how human gastrointestinal microorganisms affect host metabolism and the immune function in a porcine model.

Bacterial social interactions in synthetic Bacillus consortia enhance plant growth

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
Inoculation with plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria SQR9 enhances cooperative behaviors and compatibility within the microbial community, promoting plant growth. Building on these interactions, synthetic Bacillus consortia were designed based on phylogenetic relationships and social cooperation, where moderately related consortia exhibited stronger ...
