Termites play a critical role in wood decomposition and nutrient cycling in tropical forests, yet the ecological consequences of predator loss on termite‐driven processes remain poorly understood. Here, we examined how the absence of the Northern Tamandua, a specialized termite predator, affects termite spatial ecology and wood consumption in Panama. We compared colony density, nest characteristics, and wood consumption rates...

Metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) for oligometastatic breast cancer (≤ 5 metastases) has shown little effect in specific scenarios of randomized trials. Therefore, we aimed to assess outcomes after metastasis-directed stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) in various clinical scenarios. We conducted an international retrospective cohort study in thirteen centers including breast cancer patients receiving SRT to any metastatic site. O...

Domestication provides an excellent framework for studying adaptive divergence. Using population genomics and phenotypic assays, we reconstructed the domestication history of the blue cheese mould Penicillium roqueforti. We showed that this fungus was domesticated twice independently. The population used in Roquefort originated from an old domestication event associated with weak bottlenecks and exhibited traits beneficial for...
