The dispersal syndrome hypothesis: how animals shaped fruit traits, and how they did not

K Valenta, O Nevo - Functional Ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Fleshy fruits have evolved multiple times and display a tremendous diversity of colours,
shapes, aromas and textures. For over a century this was attributed, at least in part, to …

Fitness effects of plasmids shape the structure of bacteria–plasmid interaction networks

A Newbury, B Dawson, U Klümper… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes are often carried on broad host range plasmids, and
the spread of AMR within microbial communities will therefore depend on the structure of …

Ecological network analysis reveals cancer-dependent chaperone-client interaction structure and robustness

G Galai, X He, B Rotblat, S Pilosof - Nature Communications, 2023 - nature.com
