TL;DR: Experiments using bacterial populations propagated in controlled environments reduce ecosystem complexity to the point where understanding simple processes in isolation becomes possible.

TL;DR: Results indicate that tawny owls are able to predict the June vole numbers on their territory, and respond by producing more of the sex most likely to gain a long–term benefit when resources are good.

TL;DR: Using mechanistic mathematical models, it is shown how simple manipulations to population structure can exogenously impose Darwinian-like properties on communities, causing communities to participate directly in the process of evolution by natural selection and drives the evolution of cell-level interactions to the point where, despite underlying stochasticity, derived communities give rise to offspring communities that faithfully re-establish parental phenotype.

TL;DR: Suggestions that this parasite is a bacterium are confirmed and refute its previous tentative placement based on its morphological complexity among the Actinomycetales.
