Species and genetic diversity promote tree community productivity by increasing functional diversity and reducing herbivore damage and soil fungal diversity.

Resident members of natural bacterial communities limit the growth of non-resident bacteria primarily by increasing overall community growth.

Adult spinal fracture substantially impairs subsistence productivity, particularly for men.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 55 articles about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on researchers confirms that the pandemic increased the gender gap in research productivity.

The gender gap in publication productivity has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, with potential implications for the careers of women working in research.

Peer review scores were poorly predictive of research project success in this large dataset, suggesting that reviewers cannot reliably predict which meritorious applications are most likely to be productive.

The regional stability across distant local communities is related to the stability of and asynchronous dynamics among local communities, which are strongly impacted by population dynamics of a few abundant species and relative weakly by species diversity.
