A Novel Influence Maximization Algorithm for a Competitive Environment Based on Social Media Data Analytics by Jie Tong, Leilei Shi, Lu Liu, John Panneerselvam, Zixuan Han

“…In this paper, the influence calculation of nodes is achieved according to the local community discovery algorithm, which is based on community dispersion and the characteristics of dynamic community structure. Furthermore, considering two various competitive information dissemination cases as an example, a solution is designed for self-interested information based on the assumption that the seed node set of competitive information is known, and a novel influence maximization algorithm of node avoidance based on user interest is proposed. …”

Coexistence of spiders in floodplain forests as an indicator of ecological stability and landscape sustainability in the inland Danube Delta by Krumpálová Zuzana, Šustek Zbyšek

“…The presence or absence of flooding and the depth of the water table had a significant effect on spider community structure. Based on the evaluation of 281 spider species found at sites in the inland Danube Delta, we conclude that the typical species of floodplain forests are the same, and thus the coexistence of these dominant and frequent species is a fundamental element of epigeic spider communities in floodplain forests in Central Europe (Piratula hygrophila Thorell, Pardosa lugubris Walckenaer as a leaders; and typical spiders − Bathyphantes nigrinus Westring, Diplocephalus picinus Blackwall, Diplostyla concolor Wider, Oedothorax retusus Westring, Pachygnatha clercki Sundevall, Pachygnatha listeri Sundevall, Pardosa amentata Clerck, Pirata piraticus Clerck, Agroeca brunnea Blackwall, Liocranoeca striata Kulczyński, Ozyptila praticola C. …”

Effect of eDNA metabarcoding temporal sampling strategies on detection of coastal biodiversity by Maelle Sevellec, Anaïs Lacoursière-Roussel, Eric Normandeau, Louis Bernatchez, Kimberly Lynn Howland

“…However, we have limited knowledge of whether samples collected during discreet temporal periods depict holistic ecosystem changes over longer time spans.MethodsHere, we show how eDNA community structure varies across repeated sampling events at different temporal scales ranging from years to months to days at an Arctic coastal site, Churchill (Canada), using metabarcoding analyses of water eDNA samples with four universal primer pairs (two primers in COI and two in the 18S rRNA).ResultsDaily variations were highly dynamic and less structured, likely due to the stochastic nature of estuarine ecosystems, but there was a clear annual consistency in eDNA communities with a high proportion of shared taxa between years. …”

Utilizing a novel fecal sampling method to examine resistance of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) gut microbiome to a low dose of tetracycline. by Casey L Gregory, Emma L Bradford, Richard D Fell, David C Haak, Lisa K Belden

“…We used metrics of alpha and beta diversity calculated from 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequences to compare gut community structure. Low dose tetracycline exposure did not consistently change honey bee gut microbiome structure, but there was individual variation in response to exposure and specific taxa (one ASV assigned to Lactobacillus kunkeei and one ASV in the genus Bombella) were differentially abundant following tetracycline treatment. …”
