Native diversity buffers against severity of non-native tree invasions

Analysis combining multiple global tree databases reveals that whether a location is invaded by non-native tree species depends on anthropogenic factors, but the severity of the invasion depends on the native species diversity.

Measuring the magnetic fields in the chromospheres of low-mass stars

Magnetic fields in stellar upper atmospheres are key to understanding stellar activity and its planetary effects. Here, the authors study chromospheric magnetic fields in three M-dwarf stars using spectropolarimetric observations, finding fields reaching hundreds of Gauss with complex height-dependent structures.

Effect of climate on traits of dominant and rare tree species in the world’s forests

Species’ traits and environmental conditions determine the abundance of tree species across the globe. Here, the authors find that dominant tree species are taller and have softer wood compared to rare species and that these trait differences are more strongly associated with temperature than water availability.

Quantifying the intra- and inter-species community interactions in microbiomes by dynamic covariance mapping

Coupling of ecology and evolution in microbiomes can lead to time-dependent community interactions. Here, the authors introduce Dynamic Covariance Mapping (DCM), an approach to quantify the community matrix and, with high-resolution lineage tracking, show how inter- and intra-species interactions shape the dynamics of mouse gut colonization.

Increasing functional modularity with residence time in the co-distribution of native and introduced vascular plants

Understanding how species assemblages change over time is crucial for conservation. Here, the authors assess the changes of compartmentalized structure in native and alien species across millennia, and show that older assemblages can form more functionally distinctive modules than younger ones.

The global distribution and drivers of wood density and their impact on forest carbon stocks

Wood density is an important plant trait. Data from 1.1 million forest inventory plots and 10,703 tree species show a latitudinal gradient in wood density, with temperature and soil moisture explaining variation at the global scale and disturbance also having a role at the local level.

Co-limitation towards lower latitudes shapes global forest diversity gradients

Examining drivers of the latitudinal biodiversity gradient in a global database of local tree species richness, the authors show that co-limitation by multiple environmental and anthropogenic factors causes steeper increases in richness with latitude in tropical versus temperate and boreal zones.

Impacts of detritivore diversity loss on instream decomposition are greatest in the tropics

It is unclear whether stream detritivore diversity enhances decomposition across climates. Here the authors manipulate litter diversity and examine detritivore assemblages in a globally distributed stream litterbag experiment, finding a positive diversity-decomposition relationship stronger in tropical streams, where detritivore diversity is lower.

CCL8 secreted by tumor-associated macrophages promotes invasion and stemness of glioblastoma cells via ERK1/2 signaling

In the glioma microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages secrete large amounts of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 8 CCL8, which contributes to pseudopodia formation of glioblastoma cells and promotes progression of glioma. CCL8 induces invasion and stem-like traits of glioblastoma cells via CCR1/ CCR5-mediated ERK1/2 activation.
