Macroevolutionary dynamics in micro-organisms: generalists give rise to specialists across biomes in the ubiquitous bacterial phylum Myxococcota.

The paper studies biome transitions in Myxococcota bacteria, finding that generalists facilitate transitions between specialists, supporting the jack-of-all-trades trade-off.

Multiple origins of insular woodiness on the Canary Islands are consistent with palaeoclimatic aridification

The paper estimates the timing of woodiness origin in Canary Island plant lineages and links it to historical aridification events.

Modelling the niches of wild and domesticated Ungulatespecies using deep learning

This paper develops a deep learning-based species distribution model (DL-SDM) for ungulates, showing improved performance over traditional MaxEnt models, especially with increased data and environmental predictors.

Prediction of microscopic metastases in patients with metachronous oligo-metastases after curative treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

The paper develops a microsimulation model to predict undetected metastases in NSCLC patients with oligo-metastases, identifying risk factors and proposing a risk stratification approach.
