    Mammal communities are larger and more diverse in moderately developed areas

    Arielle Waldstein Parsons, Tavis Forrester ... Roland Kays
    Citizen science camera trapping showing suburban and wild areas maintain similar levels of mammalian diversity and relative abundance, challenging conventional thoughts about the impacts of urbanization on wildlife.

    Blumenols as shoot markers of root symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

    Ming Wang, Martin Schäfer ... Ian T Baldwin
    Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi-induced hydroxy- and carboxyblumenol C glycosides accumulate in plant shoots and allow for facile high-throughput screening for functional plant-AMF associations.

    Experimental evaluation of the importance of colonization history in early-life gut microbiota assembly

    Inés Martínez, Maria X Maldonado-Gomez ... Jens Walter
    Experiments in ex-germ-free mice establish a measurable effect of colonization history on gut microbiota assembly, illuminating a potential cause for the high levels of unexplained individuality in host-associated microbial communities.

    Strong biomechanical relationships bias the tempo and mode of morphological evolution

    Martha M Muñoz, Y Hu ... SN Patek
    The rules of biomechanics consistently influence the tempo (rate) and mode (pattern) of evolution across four-bar linkage systems in animals.

    Bleaching causes loss of disease resistance within the threatened coral species Acropora cervicornis

    Erinn M Muller, Erich Bartels, Iliana B Baums
    Standing genetic variation for disease resistance may be continuously lost during recurring warm water episodes because of widespread susceptibility of disease-resistant genotypes to bleaching and the independence between these two traits.

    Convergence between the microcosms of Southeast Asian and North American pitcher plants

    Leonora S Bittleston, Charles J Wolock ... Anne Pringle
    Host characteristics drive the assembly of similar communities within the convergently evolved and geographically distant pitcher ecosystems of carnivorous pitcher plants.

    Trade-off shapes diversity in eco-evolutionary dynamics

    Farnoush Farahpour, Mohammadkarim Saeedghalati ... Daniel Hoffmann
    In a minimalistic, generic model of competitive communities in which evolution is constrained by life-history trade-offs, stable biodiversity emerges with species adapted to different functional niches.
