A kernel integral method to remove biases in estimating trait turnover

This paper introduces a kernel integral method (KIM) to compute trait turnover, showing it better aligns with theoretical expectations and is less sensitive to species number than existing methods.

Intra- and inter-species interactions drive early phases of invasion in mice gut microbiota

The paper tracks E. coli invasion in mice gut microbiota using chromosomal barcodes and dynamic covariance mapping, identifying three phases of invasion driven by ecological and evolutionary dynamics.

A multi-species co-occurrence index to avoid type II errors in null model testing

The paper introduces a multi-species co-occurrence index to detect Type II errors in null model testing by considering joint occupancy of multiple species.

Single-cell Visualization and Quantification of Trace Metals in Chlamydomonas Lysosome-Related Organelles

The paper uses XFM to quantify trace metal storage in Chlamydomonas acidocalcisomes under metal over-accumulation, showing Fe and Cu sequestration and distinct organelle populations.

The application of zeta diversity as a continuous measure of compositional change in ecology

This paper applies zeta diversity to study compositional change across multiple biological systems, showing its utility in capturing biodiversity turnover patterns.

Heterogeneity in local density allows a positive evolutionary relationship between self-fertilisation and dispersal

The paper shows that heterogeneity in local density can create a positive evolutionary relationship between self-fertilisation and dispersal, challenging previous theoretical predictions.
