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

Ecography, 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.

Medicine‐Food Plant Polysaccharides Modulate Diabetes and Diabetic Complications Through Maintaining Gut Function: A Review

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Polysaccharides derived from medicine‐food plants restore intestinal barrier integrity and microbiota balance while modulating short‐chain fatty acid levels. These modifications significantly alleviate diabetes and its complications, including nephropathy, retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, and neuropathy.
