The complexity of many biological, social and technological systems stems from the richness
of the interactions among their units. Over the past decades, a variety of complex systems …

Interactions connect the units of ecological systems, forming networks. Individual-based
networks characterize variation in niches among individuals within populations. These …

The evolutionary arms race between phages and bacteria, where bacteria evolve resistance
to phages and phages retaliate with resistance-countering mutations, is a major driving force …

Interactions between species catalyze the evolution of multiscale ecological networks,
including both nested and modular elements that regulate the function of diverse …

The prevalence of teamwork in contemporary science has raised new questions about
collaboration networks and the potential impact on research outcomes. Previous studies …

Understanding the emergence and prevalence of viral diseases in crops requires the
systematic epidemiological monitoring of viruses, as well as the analysis of how ecological …

The emergence of viral diseases results from novel transmission dynamics between wild
and crop plant communities. The bias of studies towards pathogenic viruses of crops has …

As highly pervasive parasites that sometimes cause disease, viruses are likely major
components of all natural ecosystems. An important step towards both understanding the …

The genomics era has revolutionized studies of adaptive evolution by monitoring large
numbers of loci throughout the genomes of many individuals. Ideally, the investigation of …

Viral infections on cucurbit plants cause substantial quality and yield losses on their crops.
The diseased plants can often be infected by multiple viruses, and their epidemiology may …
