Saving Water to Survive: Alternative Water Loss Strategies Could Explain Color Polymorphism Maintenance in a Lacertid Lizard

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that red male Podarcis muralis exhibit higher evaporative water loss compared to other morphs, indicating a physiological strategy that prioritizes hydroregulation over fine thermoregulation. This suggests red morphs are adapted to cooler, wetter niches, while white and yellow morphs possess superior water conservation mechanisms to ...

Labour epidural analgesia and early childhood behavioural outcomes: the moderating role of maternal mental health and pro‐inflammatory cytokines

open access: yesAnaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Labour epidural analgesia is the most effective method for intrapartum pain relief and is associated with improved maternal outcomes. However, concerns have been raised regarding potential associations between labour epidural analgesia and adverse psycho‐emotional outcomes in children. Evidence from large epidemiological studies is

Physiological Basis of Sex Differences in Human Performance and Exercise‐Associated Pathology

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The presence of sex differences in human physical performance is well‐established and shaped by distinct endocrine, anatomical and physiological mechanisms. Despite sustained advances, our understanding of how inherent biological factors drive variations in exercise capacity and related pathologies is still developing.

Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Seizures in children with Dravet syndrome in extreme heat: A qualitative study of parental perspectives

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Perspectives of parents of children with Dravet syndrome indicate that extreme heat and high temperatures exacerbate epileptic seizures, introduce new seizure triggers, and require the adoption of specific seizure‑management strategies. Abstract Aim To describe parental perspectives on how heatwaves and high ambient temperatures influence seizure ...
