TL;DR: Ventilation is identified as a route of uptake of microplastics into a common marine nonfilter feeding species through inspiration across the gills and the gut.

TL;DR: Two new algorithms, LPAwb+ and DIRTLPAwb+, are introduced for maximizing weighted modularity in bipartite networks and robustly identify partitions with high modularity scores.

TL;DR: A new study models the potential effects of preferentially deploying recovered individuals, who are seropositive for anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, into the community to reduce the number of interactions between susceptible and infected people, thereby limiting transmission of the virus.

TL;DR: It is shown that ‘nested-modular’ interaction networks can be produced by a simple model of host–phage coevolution in which infection depends on genetic matching, and suggest that the apparently complex community structures associated with marine bacteria and phage may arise from relatively simple coevolved origins.

TL;DR: An interactive online dashboard that estimates the risk that at least one individual with SARS-CoV-2 is present in gatherings of different sizes in the United States, and provides data-driven information to help individuals and policy makers make prudent decisions that could help control the spread of SARS, particularly in hard-hit regions.
