Outbreaks of a predatory starfish can cause widespread coral mortality. Jane Ballard, one of the authors of a Research Note published in F1000Research, discusses the community dynamics of these habitats and the ecological shifts that can seal the fate of corals.
To mark World TB Day, we launch a collection that we hope will grow over the coming months to highlight the results of could help influence decisions taken by leaders during this year’s UN General Assembly.

Liz Allen explains how researchers can submit their work directly from bioRxiv to F1000Research offering more choice and flexibility to authors in deciding when to set preprints to under invited peer review.
Lenny Teytelman, co-founder of protocols.io, tells us how reproducibility is supported by scientists sharing their methods on protocols.io. We also get some insight into the early days of protocols.io and conversations he had with key players at F1000.
In her recent Research article published on F1000Research, Saskia den Boon and colleagues surveryed health workers around personal protective equipment during the West Ebola outbreak in 2014-2015.

Laura Boykin and Anders Savill discuss the value of a updated reference dataset to help researchers rapidly and accurately identify members of the whitefly species and what this means for crop management.
Last summer we launched our interactive figures initiative with plotly. Since then, we have published 22 interactives figures in seven articles across two platforms. In this post authors describe their figures and share why they wanted to make them interactive.
A recent Research Article published by Chiara Gabella explored how best to fund knowledgebases, which are relied on by many life scientists as highly accurate and reliable sources of scientific information. There are many questions about how to fund these, Chiara explores these questions further with Helen Berman, one of the reviewers of her articles.
F1000Research operates a transparent post-publication peer review model. We believe this style of peer review creates a conversation between authors and reviewers. To bring this conversation to life, we hear from Camilla Ip, an author on one of F1000Research’s most cited articles and reviewer Nick Loman.
