Olive Flowering dependence on winter temperatures - linking empirical results to a dynamic model

This study develops a dynamic model to predict olive flowering based on winter temperature regimes, showing improved accuracy by considering temperature order rather than just total cold hours.

The role of promiscuous molecular recognition in the evolution of RNase-based self-incompatibility

The paper develops a theoretical framework to study how molecular recognition promiscuity influences the evolution of self-incompatibility networks in plants.

Fitness landscape analysis of a tRNA gene reveals that the wild type allele is sub-optimal, yet mutationally robust

The paper analyzes a yeast tRNA gene fitness landscape, finding the wild type is sub-optimal and mutationally robust, while fitter variants are mutationally fragile.

Cell-free DNA as a biomarker for prostate cancer: elevated concentration and decreased fragment size

This study finds that higher plasma cfDNA concentrations and smaller fragment sizes are associated with more advanced prostate cancer.
