The tumor microbiome reacts to hypoxia and can influence response to radiation treatment in colorectal cancer

The paper examines how hypoxia affects the tumor microbiome and its interaction with radiation response in colorectal cancer using RNA-seq data and experimental models.

Fitting individual-based models of spatial population dynamics to long-term monitoring data

The paper calibrates and validates a dynamic species distribution model using long-term monitoring data of Swiss red kites, showing improved predictive accuracy compared to correlative models.

Demography-environment relationships improve mechanistic understanding of range dynamics under climate change

The paper builds process-based models to understand how climate affects bird populations, finding temperature and precipitation strongly influence demographic processes.

Illegal hunting threatens the establishment of a lynx population and highlights the need of a centralized judiciary approach

The paper investigates the impact of illegal hunting on lynx populations in Valais, Switzerland, and finds that poaching, not environmental factors, explains the low population density.

Full-annual demography and seasonal cycles in a resident vertebrate

This study examines the full annual cycle of a resident tropical lizard, finding significant seasonal variation in survival, temporary emigration, and recapture probabilities, with up to 92% of monthly variation explained by cycles.

Sex-specific population dynamics and demography of capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus L.) in a patchy environment

The paper applies an open population spatial capture-recapture model to capercaillie data, finding a declining male population and stable female population in a patchy environment.
