Open AccessAssociations between urine glyphosate levels and metabolic health risks: insights from a large cross-sectional population-based study
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in American adults increased from 37.6% in the 2011–12 period to 41.8% in 2017–2018. Environmental exposure, particularly to common compounds such as glyphosate, has...

Effects of rapid prey evolution on predator–prey cycles
We study the qualitative properties of population cycles in a predator–prey system where genetic variability allows contemporary rapid evolution of the prey. Previous numerical studies have found that prey evo...

Rapid evolution drives ecological dynamics in a predator–prey system
Ecological and evolutionary dynamics can occur on similar timescales1,2,3,4,5,6,7. However, theoretical predictions of how rapid evolution can affect ecological dynamics8 are inconclusive and often depend on unte...
