TL;DR: The effects of full-tree versus cut-to-length forest harvesting methods on tree regeneration in jack pine, mixedwood and Picea glauca are compared.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that extreme rarity, and its interplay with water residence time and growth rates, may further constrain the size of the potential seed bank of a bacterial metacommunity.

TL;DR: This study quantifies host microbiota interactions across a three-level trophic network and illustrates how the factors shaping bacterial microbiota composition vary among different hosts.

TL;DR: This article used historical observations of 155 butterfly species found in Canada to construct climate-based environmental niche models for each species and then compare projections with observed modern distributions to quantify climate debts, which suggests that high levels of climate debt are accumulating within the vast majority of these species.

TL;DR: Exposure to antibiotics can negatively influence the expressivity of a genetically-induced enteric neuropathy, and local inhibition of nitric oxide signaling improved motility and prevented death by megacolon.
