Spatial trajectories of coffee harvesting in large-scale plantations: ecological and management drivers and implications

The paper analyzes the daily spatial movement of coffee harvesters in two plantations to understand how their behavior affects pathogen dispersal.

Levy movements and a slowly decaying memory allow efficient collective learning in groups of interacting foragers

The paper uses an agent-based model to show that Levy flights with slow memory decay enhance collective learning in foraging groups, leading to efficient resource exploitation.

Hierarchical, Memory-based Movement Models for Translocated Elk (Cervus canadensis)

This study develops memory-based movement models for translocated elk and finds that they preferentially return to previously visited patches with minimal memory decay.

Inhibition of amyloid formation of the Nucleoprotein of SARS-CoV-2

The paper identifies amyloid-forming segments in SARS-CoV-2 Nucleoprotein and designs peptide inhibitors based on their atomic structures to target Covid-19.

High-order interactions maintain or enhance structural robustness of a coffee agroecosystem network

The paper tests whether high-order interactions enhance the robustness of a coffee agroecosystem network and proposes methods to represent and measure such interactions.

SlicerMorph: An open and extensible platform to retrieve, visualize and analyze 3D morphology

SlicerMorph provides an open platform for retrieving, visualizing, and analyzing 3D morphology data to address challenges in quantitative organismal biology research.

A structure-based model for the electrostatic interaction of the N-terminus of protein tau with the fibril core of Alzheimer’s Disease filaments

The paper models the electrostatic interaction between the N-terminus of tau and the fibril core of Alzheimer’s Disease filaments using crystal structures and molecular modeling.
