Diversity and structure of the deep-sea sponge microbiome in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean

This study analyzes the microbial communities of 23 deep-sea sponges in the equatorial Atlantic, revealing high archaea abundance and species-specific microbiomes dominated by ammonia-oxidizing archaea.

Mutualism provides the basis for biodiversity in eco-evolutionary community assembly

The paper presents an ecological model showing mutualism supports biodiversity and complexity in community assembly through evolutionary processes and speciation.

Protected areas enhance avian food webs

This study shows protected areas enhance avian food webs by supporting key species and traits, using bird observational data from Europe.

Disruption of metapopulation structure effectively reduces Tasmanian devil facial tumour disease spread at the expense of abundance and genetic diversity

This study uses a metapopulation model to show that isolating local populations reduces Tasmanian devil facial tumour disease spread but harms genetic diversity and population size.

Warming indirectly increases invasion success in food webs

This study shows warming increases invasion success indirectly by altering food web structure and stability, making warmed communities more susceptible to invasions.
