Is adaptive foraging adaptive? A resource-consumer eco-evolutionary model.

The paper constructs an eco-evolutionary model to explore how adaptive foraging influences community stability and evolutionary dynamics under different environmental conditions.

Mutualists construct the ecological conditions that trigger the transition from parasitism

The paper shows that spatial structure and local dispersal enable the transition from parasitism to mutualism through eco-evolutionary feedback loops.

The contrasted impacts of grasshoppers on soil microbial activities in function of primary production and herbivore diet

This study examines how grasshopper herbivory affects soil microbial activities in relation to plant productivity and diet, finding that effects depend on productivity rather than diet.

Spatial structure of natural boxwood and the invasive box tree moth can promote coexistence

The paper models how spatial structure and dispersal dynamics influence coexistence between boxwood and the box tree moth, finding that heterogeneous landscapes promote stability.

Discovery of cryptic plant diversity in one of the harshest environments: the rooftops of the Alps

The paper discovers three new plant species in the Alps, challenging the view that high-altitude environments had low speciation rates during the Pleistocene.

In vivo characterisation of the toxicological properties of DPhP, one of the main degradation products of aryl phosphate esters.

This study investigates the toxicological effects of DPhP in mice, finding significant biological impacts including altered fatty acid metabolism and weight loss.

Plant-soil feedbacks trigger tannin evolution by niche construction: a spatial stoichiometric model

The paper models plant-soil feedbacks and herbivory to show how tannin evolution is driven by soil nitrogen dynamics and mycorrhizal associations in unproductive environments.
