Defective subviral particles modify ecological equilibria and enhance viral coexistence
ABSTRACTCooperation is a main driver of biological complexity at all levels. In the viral world, gene sharing among viral genomes, complementation between genomes or interactions within quasispecies are frequently observed. In this contribution, we explore the advantages that flexible associations between fully fledged viruses and subviral entities ...

Predicting distribution pattern of Rhopalosiphum padi (Hemiptera: Aphididae) by hybrid neural network using particle swarm optimization algorithm [PDF]
Nowadays, with the advent of powerful statistical techniques and neural networks, predictive models of distribution have been rapidly developed in ecology.

Active Phases for Particles on Resource Landscapes [PDF]
We introduce an active matter model composed of sterically interacting particles which absorb resources from a substrate and move in response to resource gradients. For varied ratios of absorption rate to substrate recovery rate, we find a variety of phases including periodic waves, partial clustering, stochastic motion, and a frozen state.

Microbial and metabolic succession on common building materials under high humidity conditions. [PDF]
Despite considerable efforts to characterize the microbial ecology of the built environment, the metabolic mechanisms underpinning microbial colonization and successional dynamics remain unclear, particularly at high moisture conditions. Here, we applied

Towards an ecology of soil microplastics
Microplastic pollution is a topic of increasing concern for the world's oceans, freshwaters and, most recently, soils. Microplastics have been found in soils across the globe.
