Facilitative interaction networks in experimental microbial community dynamics

The paper analyzes facilitative interactions in microbial communities using metagenomic data and metabolic modeling to identify feedback loops and keystone species.

Metagenomic analysis of ecological niche overlap and community collapse in microbiome dynamics

The paper uses metagenomic analysis to study how genetic resource-use profiles influence community collapse in microbiomes over time.

Alternative stable states, nonlinear behavior, and predictability of microbiome dynamics

This study shows that abrupt microbiome changes can be predicted using ecological concepts and stability indices in complex microbial communities.

Individual Ants Do Not Show Active/rest Rhythms in Natural Nest Conditions

This study shows that individual ants do not exhibit active/rest rhythms in natural nest conditions, but solitary ants do, suggesting social interactions suppress circadian rhythms in colonies.

Functional advantages of Levy walks emerging near a critical point.

This study shows that Levy walks in Drosophila larvae emerge near a critical point and offer functional advantages through large dynamic range and flexibility in response to environmental stimuli.

Amplitude of circadian rhythms becomes weaker in the north, but there is no cline in the period of rhythm in a beetle

The study examines circadian rhythm traits in red flour beetles across Japan, finding weaker rhythms in northern areas but no variation in period.

Bipartite network analysis of ant-task associations reveals task groups and absence of colonial daily activity

The paper uses bipartite network analysis to study ant task allocation, identifying task groups and finding no daily rhythm in task execution.

Optimal Random Avoidance Strategy in Prey-Predator Interactions

The paper analyzes the optimal random avoidance strategy in prey-predator interactions, showing that Levy walks improve survival rates when predators have high physical ability.
