Relatedness, trait evolution, and climatic niche divergence in mammalian island endemics

Oikos, EarlyView.
Island mammals have influenced ecological and evolutionary theory since Darwin, and many of them provide textbook examples of the dramatic morphological evolution that often occurs in island communities. However, patterns of evolution in the climatic niches of island mammals have yet to be fully explored.

Relevance of learning health systems to physiatrists and its synergy with implementation science: A commentary

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract As health care attempts to bridge the gap between evidence and practice, the concept of the learning health system (LHS) is becoming increasingly relevant. LHS integrates evidence with health systems data, driving health care quality and outcomes through updates in policy, practice, and care delivery.
