Fruit‐quality tradeoffs generate asymmetry in plant reliance on mutualistic frugivores

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal is a fundamental ecological process influencing the evolution of plant life‐history strategies. In fleshy‐fruited plants dispersed by mutualistic frugivores, variation in fruit traits among closely related species may shape the temporal and spatial dynamics of dispersal events critical to population success.

Coexistence, crossover and extirpation in coalescent communities and ecotones

Oikos, EarlyView.
When two ecological communities come into contact, the strength of their mixing determines whether species coexist, extirpate, or extend their ranges. We present analytical formulas and simulations describing these transitions. Specifically, we derive abundance shifts upon community coalescence, identify the critical mixing strength leading to first ...

Evidence for dispersal personality in the guppy across ecological conditions, with a minor effect of relative brain size

Oikos, EarlyView.
Individuals that disperse typically exhibit specific phenotypical traits that facilitate dispersal and settlement success, known as ‘dispersal syndromes'. Consequentially, characterizing dispersers is crucial to understand other processes such as metapopulation dynamics and biological invasions.

Habitat‐based spatial patterns enable realistic reconstruction of plant spatial arrangements across complex landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Spatially explicit individual‐based models provide a powerful way to explore spatial dynamics when direct observation is not feasible. But for many ecological applications, these models require detailed data on the initial spatial arrangement and traits of individuals – information rarely available in large, heterogeneous or novel landscapes.

Aberrant alternative splicing of purinergic receptor P2RX4 prevents sensitivity towards combinatorial treatment in colorectal and pancreatic cancer

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recently, we suggested the combination of chemotherapy and P2RX4 inhibition as a promising novel therapeutic approach for P2RX4‐expressing epithelial tumors to prevent paracrine resistance. Here, we aimed to assess whether determining P2RX4 expression status in colorectal and pancreatic cancer patients would allow stratification of potentially
