Bracewell et al. find a latitudinal gradient in successional dynamics: tropics are highly stochastic, and temperate zones show clearer progression influenced by early colonizers. This reveals biogeographic variation in community development.

Excellent new paper from Kyle David finding evidence for a latitudinal gradient of polyploidy in animals. This is similar to what has been observed in plants for many years! Really wonderful! Also good to see our recently published Animal Chromosome Count Database used for the analyses!
