Sensory abilities in food localization in four species of African mole-rats with diverse social organization

open access: yes, 2013
Until recently, it was assumed that African mole-rats search for food randomly, as it is in concordance with Aridity food distribution hypothesis. However, recent studies indicate that some subterranean rodent species including mole-rats could be able to

The Musculoskeletal Consequences of Mouth Breathing in Adults: A Systematic Review

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Chronic mouth breathing can have a negative impact on posture, cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), reduced masticatory muscle activity and efficiency, and suprahyoid muscle overuse. Postural changes include a head forward posture and increased lumbar lordosis.

Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa: Structural diversity and functional traits as key drivers of carbon storage

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...
