This study uses ecological metabolomics to show that chemical dissimilarity among tree species increases with species richness and warm, wet climates, supporting the role of chemically mediated biotic interactions in shaping elevational diversity gradients.

The paper examines latitudinal patterns in species aggregation and abundance, showing how these patterns affect coexistence in forests and introduces a framework to model their impact on extinction risk.

The paper investigates the functional interactions between SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes, showing that SMARCB1 loss affects BRD9 binding and contributes to oncogenesis in SMARCB1-mutant cancers.

The paper investigates how environmental gradients shape community assembly through immigration and sorting of pre-adapted clades versus recent diversification, finding clade sorting dominates species turnover along elevational gradients.

The paper clarifies conceptual and statistical errors in density dependence studies and suggests a combined observational and experimental approach to study conspecific negative density dependence.

This study identifies tetracyclines as targeting human rRNA substructures, modifying translation and activating the ISR, which correlates with their anti-proliferative effects in cancer cells.
