The paper examines the relationship between genome size and selection pressure in prokaryotes, revealing heterogeneous selection patterns across bacteria and archaea.

This paper shows that cheaters can promote cooperation by enabling group survival in a multi-level selection model, challenging the classical view that cheaters destabilize cooperation.

The paper models prokaryotic antivirus defense strategies and finds that immunity is preferred at high viral pressure and PCD at low host population size, with potential antagonism from overinvestment in immunity.

The paper presents a harmonized nonhuman cancer database with tumors from 41,539 individuals across 825 species, revealing tissue-specific cancer incidence patterns.

The paper uses machine learning to estimate Aedes mosquito habitability globally, showing increasing risk in temperate regions and decreasing risk near the equator due to climate change.

This study uses mathematical modeling to show that optimal strategies for balancing somatic damage repair and asymmetric allocation depend on extrinsic mortality and damage accumulation rates, linking these to the evolutionary r/K selection theory.
