This study identifies aryl-lactates as bioactive metabolites in fermented foods and shows their production can be enhanced to boost AhR receptor activity.

The paper uses nano-computed tomography to analyze morphological traits of feather lice across different host habitats, finding strong associations between morphology and host-specific adaptations.

This study shows that psychological stress disrupts intestinal epithelial cell function and mucosal integrity in mice, mediated by microbiota and host stress signals.

This study shows that long-distance dispersal of pigeons and doves created new ecological opportunities for their parasites to speciate through host-switching, but this opportunity decreased over time as cospeciation became more common.

This study compares spatial phylogenetic patterns of butterflies and flowering plants in North America, finding divergent biodiversity patterns and suggesting differences in habitat conservation.

This study compares mechanical sorting and DNA metabarcoding for analyzing wolf scat diets, finding metabarcoding reveals greater diversity and accuracy in identifying prey species.

This study shows that environmental DNA (eDNA) can accurately estimate eulachon fish populations over multiple years, with high predictive power compared to mark-recapture methods, at a lower cost.

This paper compares purpose-built and synthesis phylogenies for community phylogenetic analyses, finding synthesis trees yield comparable results with less effort.

This study demonstrates that flow-corrected environmental DNA (eDNA) rates can accurately track daily numbers of returning and outmigrating Pacific salmon spawners and smolts.
