Nectar robbing by bees affects the reproductive fitness of the distylous plant Tirpitzia sinensis (Linaceae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Nectar robbing could directly and indirectly decrease the female fitness of Tirpitzia sinensis, and different morphs have evolved different defense mechanisms in response to nectar robbing pressure. Abstract Nectar robbing can affect plant reproductive success directly by influencing female and male fitness, and indirectly by affecting pollinator ...

Climate change affects Galliformes taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity indexes, shifting conservation priority areas in China

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 409-422, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Comprehensive biodiversity protection necessitates the consideration of multiple indexes of diversity, and how the distribution patterns of priority areas may shift under climate change. Galliformes is a globally endangered avian order vulnerable to climate change that provide an important indicator for wildlife conservation effectiveness.

Size‐dependent and environment‐mediated shifts in leaf traits of a deciduous tree species in a subtropical forest

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Plant size and environment independently shaped the variations in intraspecific leaf traits of Clausena dunniana in the subtropical karst forest of Maolan. Compared with plant size, the environment played a more critical role in shaping intraspecific leaf trait variations, and potentially also the underlying individual‐level plant resource‐use ...

Characteristics of Plantar Pressure Distribution in Diabetes with or without Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy and Peripheral Arterial Disease

Journal of Healthcare Engineering, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Background. Excessive plantar pressure leads to increased risk of diabetic foot ulcers. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have been considered to be associated with alterations in gait and plantar pressure in diabetic patients. However, few studies have differentiated the effects with each of them. Objective. To

Single‐nucleotide polymorphism rs4142441 and MYC co‐modulated long non‐coding RNA OSER1‐AS1 suppresses non‐small cell lung cancer by sequestering ELAVL1

Cancer Science, Volume 112, Issue 6, Page 2272-2286, June 2021., 2021
Our results demonstrated that long non‐coding RNA OSER1‐AS1 performed tumor suppressive function by forming an RNA‐protein complex with ELAVL1 and sequester it from binding and stabilizing its target mRNAs, and it may serve as a potential prognosis markers for patients with NSCLC. Abstract Single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and long non‐coding RNAs (

Sewn boats in the Qatar Museums collection, Doha: baggāras and kettuvallams as records of a western Indian Ocean technological tradition

International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 371-405, September 2020., 2020
Abstract Vernacular sewn boats from southern Iran and Kerala, India, in the collection of Qatar Museums are documented and their construction described. The Iranian baggāras are unique preservations of sewn boats from the Arabian‐Persian Gulf, notable for their previously undocumented keel‐garboard sewing technique and extensive use of bitumen coatings.
