Regional climate contributes more than geographic distance to beta diversity of copepods (Crustacea Copepoda) between caves of Italy
Despite the study of subterranean biodiversity facing harsh sampling and map** challenges, the huge diversity of taxa, ecological adaptations and...

Within-host genetic diversity of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales in long-term colonized patients
Despite recognition of the immediate impact of infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-PE) on...
-
Plant beta-diversity across biomes captured by imaging spectroscopy
Monitoring the rapid and extensive changes in plant species distributions occurring worldwide requires large-scale, continuous and repeated...

UAV telephotography elucidates floristic variability and beta diversity of island cliffs under grazing interventions
Cliffs contain one of the least known plant communities, which has been overlooked in biodiversity assessments due to the inherent inaccessibility....
-
Gamma diversity and under-sampling together generate patterns in beta-diversity
Beta diversity represents how species in the regional pool segregate among local communities and hence forms a link between local and regional...

Therapeutic beta-lactam dosages and broad-spectrum antibiotics are associated with reductions in microbial richness and diversity in persons with cystic fibrosis
Persons with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) suffer from pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) related in part to lung infection. While higher microbial diversity is...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal trees influence the latitudinal beta-diversity gradient of tree communities in forests worldwide
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) associations are critical for host-tree performance. However, how mycorrhizal associations...

Alpha and beta diversity patterns of macro-moths reveal a breakpoint along a latitudinal gradient in Mongolia
Little is known about the diversity and distribution patterns of moths along latitudinal gradients. We studied macro-moths in Mongolia along an...

Elevated alpha diversity in disturbed sites obscures regional decline and homogenization of amphibian taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity
Loss of natural habitat due to land-use change is one of the major threats to biodiversity worldwide. It not only affects the diversity of local...
-
Spatial scaling of pollen-plant diversity relationship in landscapes with contrasting diversity patterns
Mitigating the effects of global change on biodiversity requires its understanding in the past. The main proxy of plant diversity, fossil pollen...
-
Environmental heterogeneity modulates the effect of plant diversity on the spatial variability of grassland biomass
Plant productivity varies due to environmental heterogeneity, and theory suggests that plant diversity can reduce this variation. While there is...

Sox9 regulates alternative splicing and pancreatic beta cell function
Despite significant research, mechanisms underlying the failure of islet beta cells that result in type 2 diabetes (T2D) are still under...
-
Land-use diversity predicts regional bird taxonomic and functional richness worldwide
Unveiling the processes that shape biodiversity patterns is a cornerstone of ecology. Land-use diversity (i.e., the variety of land-use categories...

Temporal variations in the gut microbial diversity in response to high-fat diet and exercise
High-fat diet-induced obesity is a pandemic caused by an inactive lifestyle and increased consumption of Western diets and is a major risk factor for...

A comparative study of the bacterial diversity and composition of nursery piglets’ oral fluid, feces, and housing environment
The oral cavity is the portal of entry for many microorganisms that affect swine, and the swine oral fluid has been used as a specimen for the...
-
Genome-wide association study identifies host genetic variants influencing oral microbiota diversity and metabolic health
The microbial communities of the oral cavity are important elements of oral and systemic health. With emerging evidence highlighting the heritability...

Network structure shapes the impact of diversity in collective learning
It is widely believed that diversity arising from different skills enhances the performance of teams, and in particular, their ability to learn and...
-
Microbiome and epigenetic variation in wild fish with low genetic diversity
Non-genetic sources of phenotypic variation, such as the epigenome and the microbiome, could be important contributors to adaptive variation for...
-
Reduced microbial diversity of the nasopharyngeal microbiome in household contacts with latent tuberculosis infection
The upper respiratory tract is an obliged pathway for respiratory pathogens and a healthy microbiota may support the host's mucosal immunity...

Restoration of PITPNA in Type 2 diabetic human islets reverses pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction
Defects in insulin processing and granule maturation are linked to pancreatic beta-cell failure during type 2 diabetes (T2D). Phosphatidylinositol...
