Isotopic niche partitioning and individual specialization in an Arctic raptor guild
Intra- and inter-specific resource partitioning within predator communities is a fundamental component of trophic ecology, and one proposed mechanism...
-
Genome analysis of Parmales, the sister group of diatoms, reveals the evolutionary specialization of diatoms from phago-mixotrophs to photoautotrophs
The order Parmales (class Bolidophyceae) is a minor group of pico-sized eukaryotic marine phytoplankton that contains species with cells surrounded...

Colour-specific diet specialization is associated with differences in owlet weight in a polymorphic owl: influence of the trophic quality variation
The niche divergence hypothesis proposes that the evolution and maintenance of colour polymorphism is based on a mechanism of disruptive selection....

Plant height and spatial context influence individual connectivity and specialization on seed dispersers in a tree population
While network analyses have stimulated a renewed interest in understanding patterns and drivers of specialization within communities, few studies...

Time series single-cell transcriptional atlases reveal cell fate differentiation driven by light in Arabidopsis seedlings
Light serves as the energy source for plants as well as a signal for growth and development during their whole life cycle. Seedling de-etiolation is...

SPADE: spatial deconvolution for domain specific cell-type estimation
Understanding gene expression in different cell types within their spatial context is a key goal in genomics research. SPADE (SPAtial DEconvolution),...
