J Anim Ecol
. 2024 Sep;
93(10):1582-1592.
PMID: 39252414
Understanding spatial variation in species distribution and community structure is at the core of community ecology. Nevertheless, the effect of distance on metacommunity structure remains little studied. We examine how...

PMID: 38605009
Plasmids are pivotal in driving bacterial evolution through horizontal gene transfer. Here, we investigated 3467 human gut microbiome samples across continents and disease states, analyzing 11,086 plasmids. Our analyses reveal...

Nat Commun
. 2023 Oct;
14(1):6277.
PMID: 37805501
Cancer cells alter the expression levels of metabolic enzymes to fuel proliferation. The mitochondrion is a central hub of metabolic reprogramming, where chaperones service hundreds of clients, forming chaperone-client interaction...

Vitali A, Ruiz-Suarez S, Vazquez D, Schleuning M, Rodriguez-Cabal M, Sasal Y, et al.
Proc Biol Sci
. 2023 Jun;
290(2001):20230132.
PMID: 37357855
Species interactions are critical for maintaining community structure and dynamics, but the effects of invasive species on multitrophic networks remain poorly understood. We leveraged an ongoing invasion scenario in Patagonia,...

Pilosof S
Trends Microbiol
. 2023 Feb;
31(7):672-680.
PMID: 36822952
Plasmids shape microbial communities' diversity, structure, and function. Nevertheless, we lack a mechanistic understanding of how community structure and dynamics emerge from local microbe-plasmid interactions and coevolution. Addressing this gap...

Shapiro J, Zorea A, Kav A, Ontiveros V, Mizrahi I, Pilosof S
ISME J
. 2023 Feb;
17(5):649-659.
PMID: 36759552
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant threat to public health. Plasmids are principal vectors of AMR genes, significantly contributing to their spread and mobility across hosts. Nevertheless, little is known...

Front Ecol Evol
. 2022 Apr;
9.
PMID: 35433714
In high-transmission endemic regions, local populations of exhibit vast diversity of the genes encoding its major surface antigen, with each parasite comprising multiple copies from this diverse gene pool. This...

Int J Parasitol
. 2022 Jan;
52(11):721-731.
PMID: 35093396
Immunity to Plasmodium falciparum is non-sterilising, thus individuals residing in malaria-endemic areas are at risk of infection throughout their lifetime. Here we seek to find a genomic epidemiological explanation for...

. 2022 Jan;
192(2):325-333.
PMID: 35037994
The maintenance of water balance in arid environments might represent a formidable challenge for Chiroptera, since they have high surface-to-volume ratios. In deserts, bats conserve water, for example, using daily...

PMID: 34415900
Social distancing is an effective population-level mitigation strategy to prevent COVID19 propagation but it does not reduce the number of susceptible individuals and bears severe social consequences-a dire situation that...
