Metabolism provides a basis for using first principles of physics, chemistry, and biology to
link the biology of individual organisms to the ecology of populations, communities, and …

Diatoms are unicellular algae with plastids acquired by secondary endosymbiosis. They are
responsible for ∼20% of global carbon fixation. We report the 34 million–base pair draft …

A latitudinal gradient in biodiversity has existed since before the time of the dinosaurs, yet
how and why this gradient arose remains unresolved. Here we review two major hypotheses …

Diatoms are photosynthetic secondary endosymbionts found throughout marine and
freshwater environments, and are believed to be responsible for around one-fifth of the primary …

The diversity of life is ultimately generated by evolution, and much attention has focused on
the rapid evolution of ecological traits. Yet, the tendency for many ecological traits to instead …

A central challenge in interpreting personal genomes is determining which mutations most
likely influence disease. Although progress has been made in scoring the functional impact of …

Although Portland cement concrete is the world’s most widely used manufactured material,
basic questions persist regarding its internal structure and water content, and their effect on …

Background Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have activity in ovarian
carcinomas with homologous recombination deficiency. Along with BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA) …

The latitudinal gradient of increasing biodiversity from poles to equator is one of the most
prominent but least understood features of life on Earth. Here we show that species diversity …

Animal movement is fundamental for ecosystem functioning and species survival, yet the
effects of the anthropogenic footprint on animal movements have not been estimated across …
