Acute, chronic and conditioned effects of intranasal oxytocin in the mu opioid receptor knockout mouse model of autism: social context matters

This study examines the effects of intranasal oxytocin in Oprm1 knockout mice, finding dose- and context-dependent improvements in social behavior and gene expression changes.

The evolutionary age-range size relationship is modulated by insularity and dispersal in plants and animals

The paper examines the relationship between evolutionary age and range size in species, finding that age correlates with larger ranges but this effect is modulated by insularity and dispersal ability.

Terrestrial land cover shapes fish diversity in major subtropical rivers

The paper links terrestrial land cover changes to fish diversity in a subtropical river catchment, showing LULC effects up to 20 km upstream and explaining 60% of species richness variance.

Recurrent gene flow events shaped the diversification of the clownfish skunk complex

This study investigates the diversification mechanisms of the clownfish skunk complex, finding moderate ancestral gene flow and limited recent gene flow, with introgression and recombination disruption playing key roles.

Leaf metabolic traits reveal hidden dimensions of plant form and function

The paper analyzes leaf metabolome variation across plant species to identify metabolic functional traits that reveal new dimensions of plant form and function.

Habitat amount, temperature and biotic interactions drive community structure, life-history traits, and performance traits of cavity-nesting bees and wasps and their natural enemies in cities

This study examines how habitat amount, temperature, and biotic interactions influence community structure and traits of cavity-nesting bees, wasps, and their natural enemies in urban areas.

A calibration framework to improve mechanistic forecasts with hybrid dynamic models

This paper introduces a calibration framework that improves mechanistic forecasts using hybrid dynamic models by integrating scientific computing and deep learning techniques.

Climatic niche conservatism and ecological diversification in the Holarctic cold-dwelling butterfly genus Erebia

This study examines climatic niche evolution in the butterfly genus Erebia, finding that climatic niche conservatism promotes speciation while clades show divergent niche adaptations.

Blue and green food webs respond differently to elevation and land use

The paper compares structural and ecological differences between blue and green food webs across elevation and land use in Switzerland, finding divergent responses to environmental gradients.

Global plant-frugivore trait matching is shaped by climate and biogeographic history

The paper examines global trait matching between frugivorous birds and palms, finding it influenced by climate, biogeographic history, and species richness.

The interaction of climate history and evolution impacts alpine biodiversity assembly differently in freshwater and on land

The paper examines how climate history and evolution shaped alpine biodiversity differently in freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems, finding distinct patterns of speciation linked to glacial refugia and adaptive radiation.

Topology and habitat assortativity drive neutral and adaptive diversification in spatial graphs

This study uses a stochastic model to show how graph topology and habitat assortativity influence neutral and adaptive differentiation in biological populations.

This study evaluates 68 abundance-based species distribution models using 800,000 abundance records, finding high performance variability and highlighting the importance of environmental domain alignment for accurate predictions.

South American freshwater fish diversity shaped by Andean uplift since the Late Cretaceous

The paper investigates how Andean uplift and river rerouting events shaped freshwater fish diversity in South America, showing that dynamic riverine habitats drove high diversification rates.

gen3sis: the general engine for eco-evolutionary simulations on the origins of biodiversity

The paper introduces gen3sis, an eco-evolutionary simulation engine that models biodiversity patterns and finds energy-based carrying capacity best explains the latitudinal diversity gradient.

Strong functional divergence of tropical reef fish assemblages along the global diversity gradient

The paper shows that tropical reef fish assemblages show strong trait divergence along the global diversity gradient, influenced by body size and diet, and linked to past climatic isolation of reefs.
