The recency and geographical origins of the bat viruses ancestral to SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2

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.

Phylodynamics Uncovers the Transmission of Antibiotic-Resistant Escherichia coli between Canines and Humans in an Urban Environment

This study uses genomic sequencing and phylogenetics to show antibiotic-resistant E. coli is transmitted between canines and humans in urban environments.

A comparison of claw removal methods on the post-release survival and claw regeneration of stone crab (Menippe mercenaria)

This study compares two claw removal methods for stone crabs, finding that a new method increases post-release survival by 28% compared to the traditional method.

Periodic Environmental Disturbance Drives Repeated Ecomorphological Diversification in an Adaptive Radiation of Antarctic Fishes

The paper examines diversification patterns in Antarctic fishes under periodic environmental disturbance, finding repeated trait space diversification and niche complementarity.

Genotypic diversity and dynamic nomenclature of Parechovirus A

The paper improves the genotyping system for Parechovirus A by proposing a dynamic nomenclature based on amino-acid level phylogenetic analysis and clustering.

Asynchrony between virus diversity and antibody selection limits influenza virus evolution

The paper shows that the timing mismatch between virus growth and antibody selection limits antigenic evolution within hosts, explaining global selectivity and local neutrality in influenza.

Infestation dynamics between parasitic Antarctic fish leeches (Piscicolidae) and their crocodile icefish hosts (Channichthyidae)

This study examines leech infestation patterns in Antarctic fish hosts, revealing attachment site fidelity and suggesting trophic transmission as key factors in parasitization.
