The paper shows SwrA extends DegU binding over a UP element to activate flagellar gene expression in Bacillus subtilis, enabling motility and swarming.

The paper identifies the recent origin and geographical distribution of bat viruses ancestral to SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, showing they circulated in Asia before spilling over into humans.

The paper presents a cleaned and flagged global bee occurrence dataset and an R package to improve data accessibility and reliability for conservation and research.

The paper assesses global amphibian trade, revealing 1,215 traded species, 345 threatened, and highlighting gaps in regulation and pressures from collection, pathogens, and invasive species.

The paper identifies novel bat coronaviruses, including relatives of SARS-CoV-2, from a region in China, providing insights into their evolutionary origins and geographic distribution.

This paper identifies a novel bat coronavirus, RmYN02, with sequence similarities to HCoV-19 and natural insertions at the S1/S2 cleavage site, suggesting a possible recombinant origin for HCoV-19.

The paper documents cooperative hunting by Large-billed Crows and opportunistic predation by Yellow-headed water monitors on roosting Geoffroy's Rousette bats in the Philippines.

This paper analyzes global IUCN species range-maps, finding significant errors and biases that hinder conservation efforts and highlight the need for more accurate, data-driven methods.
