Whole-genome resequencing data, associated metrics, and their trends over time can be used to inform extinction threat rankings rendered by conservation agencies around the world. Surveys of individual genome sequences can critically addres...

In natural chemical mixtures, a few molecules matter far more than their abundance suggests. Two recent studies identify defensive polyketides in estuarine mudflats and root exudate metabolites in a nitrogen-limited rhizosphere as compounds...

Species range contractions are a defining feature of the Anthropocene. Given their prevalence, a key question arises: do range contractions follow consistent patterns? Empirical studies have produced mixed results, revealing some emergent p...

Intergroup conflict is a powerful selective force throughout the animal kingdom. While research has traditionally focused on actions during and after contests, animals also exhibit behavioural flexibility in anticipation of potential interg...

Anthropogenic food subsidies often elevate wildlife populations. Reducing these subsidies may alter behavior more rapidly than population size, creating a transient period of heightened human-wildlife conflict. Recognizing these transitiona...

The species pool is a fundamental concept with the potential to connect ecological and evolutionary processes in community ecology and biogeography. However, current definitions of the concept primarily focus on contemporary ecological proc...

Forest conservation typically prioritizes total area, treating every hectare as interchangeable regardless of how the landscape is configured. Analyzing 17 million patches, Zou et al. reveal that per-area productivity rises superlinearly wi...

What determines where species occur and where they do not? Brightly et al. showed that cold-origin lineages are less likely to form amphitropical distributions. This raises questions about the biogeographical costs and opportunities of adap...

All organisms must allocate finite resources among growth, maintenance, and reproduction, generating trade-offs that constrain adaptation. Host-associated microbiomes are dynamic resource engines capable of generating and reallocating energ...
