The paper models how antiviral resistance mechanisms in phytoplankton affect virus population dynamics, showing that bet-hedging strategies and intracellular resistance strongly reduce viral spread.

The paper uses epidemiological models to identify molecular mechanisms of antiviral resistance in phytoplankton from experimental data.

This study develops a theoretical framework linking cellular nutrient economy to genome size evolution in phytoplankton, showing that 1-bp indels can be counterselected under minimal nutrient conditions.

The paper investigates indirect effects of native species on an invasive insect and its biological control in chestnut trees using ecological and statistical methods.

The paper identifies the relative impacts of host trees, resistance pathways, and natural enemies on the invasion potential of a chestnut tree pest using ecological and genomic analyses.

The paper models the coexistence of an invasive pest and its biological control agent using source-sink dynamics, showing dispersal rates influence their persistence and impact.

The paper models TE dynamics in genomes under asexual reproduction, showing TE persistence depends on genome diversity and TE silencing mechanisms.

The paper models the spread of the chestnut gall wasp using graph theory to assess invasion risk based on chestnut tree distribution.

This study shows that virus-host coexistence in phytoplankton is maintained through bet hedging, where susceptible and resistant phenotypes switch, allowing continuous growth of both microalga and virus.
