This paper challenges claims of multiple SARS-CoV-2 spillovers by showing methodological flaws in genome analysis and phylodynamic modeling.

The paper investigates the relationship between natural strongyle infection and changes in the gut microbiome of wild primates, finding reduced Prevotella abundance linked to inflammation.

The paper shows that homogeneous selection drives microdiversity in glacier-fed stream microbiomes, with implications for microbial diversity under climate change.

The paper develops a phylogenetic model to study microbial community assembly and applies it to human microbiome data, finding underdispersion in most cases.

This paper introduces Phylofactorization, a graph-partitioning algorithm to identify phylogenetic scales in ecological data, and demonstrates its application to mammalian body mass and gut microbiome studies.
