Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

PondNet – towards a global network of experiments on the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global change is reshaping the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Predicting the long‐term consequences of such changes remains a challenge due to a need for a clear understanding of the mechanisms underpinning ecosystem‐level responses, as well as the role of geographical and environmental contingencies.

Effects of Lactic Acid Bacteria and Yeasts on Growth Performance, Intestinal Health, and Organ Morphometry of Broiler Chickens

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
The fermentation of molasses‐vinasse with lactic acid bacteria and yeasts improves growth, intestinal health, digestive, and immune organs in chickens, promoting their productive performance and organic development. ABSTRACT This study evaluated the probiotic effects of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts on productive parameters, intestinal health, and ...

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

Yield‐Dependent Allocation Functions Overestimate Root‐Derived Carbon Inputs in Wheat and Maize

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Root‐derived carbon (C) inputs for wheat and maize were estimated using the yield‐based allocation functions of Bolinder et al. and Jacobs et al. Comparison with measured root C showed systematic overestimation that becomes larger as predicted C increases.

Biomass Carbon in Harvest Residues of Winter Oilseed Rape Across Fertilizer N Rates: Implications for Carbon Input Estimations in Soil Carbon Models

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: Reliable estimation of carbon (C) inputs from above‐ and belowground residues at different yield levels is crucial, as these inputs drive soil organic carbon (SOC) models for C accounting. Aims: This study quantifies C inputs from different components of winter oilseed rape (WOSR) and compares them with estimates from various ...
