Latitudinal gradients in predation persist in urban environments

The paper tests if urbanization disrupts latitudinal gradients in seed predation across 14,000 km of latitude, finding that gradients persist despite habitat modification.

Single-cell Transcriptomic Analysis of Salivary Gland Endothelial Cells

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze salivary gland endothelial cells and identifies ligand-receptor interactions involved in fibrosis and regeneration.

What Markov state models can and cannot do: Correlation versus path-based observables in protein folding models

This study evaluates the ability of Markov state models (MSMs) to reproduce path-based observables in protein folding, finding they are reliable only when state lifetimes exceed the lag time, and history-augmented MSMs improve reliability.

Extensive Evaluation of Weighted Ensemble Strategies for Calculating Rate Constants and Binding Affinities of Molecular Association/Dissociation Processes

This study evaluates weighted ensemble strategies for calculating molecular association/dissociation rate constants and binding affinities, finding that heavy-weight simulations are most efficient when states are predefined.

Developing Future Biologists: creating and assessing a portable short course to engage underrepresented undergraduate students in developmental biology

This paper describes a portable short course designed to engage underrepresented undergraduate students in developmental biology, showing improved understanding and awareness of scientific careers.

Seed predation increases from the Arctic to the Equator and from high to low elevations

The paper finds that post-dispersal seed predation increases from the Arctic to the Equator and from high to low elevations, driven by climate seasonality rather than productivity or biodiversity.
