Can ecological interactions drive evolutionary outcomes? Evidence from insect host shifts between parasitic and non-parasitic plants

This study investigates host plant shifts in weevils using phylogenomic data, showing that ecological interactions between parasitic and non-parasitic plants drive evolutionary outcomes.

Reproductive tactics, birth timing and the trade-off between risk avoidance and foraging in an income breeder

This study examines how female roe deer adjust foraging and risk avoidance behaviors during birth, showing increased activity and habitat use changes post-partum, especially in late-parturient females.

Using accelerometers to infer behaviour of cryptic species in the wild

This study develops and validates a method using accelerometers to infer the behavior of free-ranging roe deer in the wild with high accuracy.

Large-scale geographic survey provides insights into the colonization history of a major aphid pest on its cultivated apple host in Europe, North America and North Africa

The paper investigates the colonization history of the rosy apple aphid across Europe, North America, and North Africa using genetic and microbiota data, finding weak genetic differentiation and limited role of secondary endosymbionts in its spread.

Quantifying year-round nocturnal bird migration with a fluid dynamics model

This study quantifies nocturnal bird migration across Western Europe using a fluid dynamics model applied to radar data, revealing seasonal bird flow patterns and large-scale movement dynamics.

How bank vole-PUUV interactions influence the eco-evolutionary processes driving nephropathia epidemica epidemiology: An experimental and genomic approach.

This study investigates how bank vole-PUUV interactions influence the epidemiology of nephropathia epidemica by analyzing viral infection dynamics and genetic differences in French endemic and non-endemic areas.

A geostatistical approach to estimate high resolution nocturnal bird migration densities from a weather radar network.

This paper estimates high-resolution nocturnal bird migration densities using a geostatistical model applied to weather radar data, finding 120 million birds in flight during autumn 2016.

Discontinuities in quinoa biodiversity in the dry Andes: an 18-century perspective based on allelic genotyping

This study tracks changes in quinoa genetic diversity over 18 centuries using ancient DNA and genotyping, revealing gene pool replacements linked to agricultural and environmental changes.

Bank Vole Immunoheterogeneity May Limit Nephropatia Epidemica Emergence In A French Non-Endemic Region

The paper investigates whether immunoheterogeneity in bank voles limits the emergence of nephropathia epidemica in a French non-endemic region.
