Phytoplasma effector SAP54 hijacks previously unknown MADS-box protein roles in plant-insect interactions by modulating plant biotic stress responses to male leafhoppers and facilitating female attraction and reproduction on male-exposed leaves.

The evolutionary trajectory of phytophagous weevils reveals how ancient host plant shifts and continental drift influenced the development of diverse insect-plant interactions through time.

Differential colonization-extinction dynamics associated with species thermal preferences provide support for dispersal limitation and microclimate buffering as primary proxies by which habitat fragmentation mediates thermophilization in birds.

The molecular mechanisms of FCPI assembly and selective binding are revealed through comparison of PSI-FCPI structures in two diatom species.

Intraspecific predator interference enables a wide range of consumer species to coexist with a limited variety of resources, explaining the paradox of the plankton and species diversity patterns across ecosystems.

Contrasting climatic dependencies of macrofauna and microorganisms generate similar whole-community decomposition rates across a precipitation gradient, plausibly resolving the longstanding puzzle of why arid-land litter decomposition is decoupled from precipitation.
