We aim to identify whether peripheral blood biomarkers (PBBMs) may enhance current staging for prognostication and adjuvant treatment selection.

Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...
