Itch, Scratching, and Sleep Mediate the Association between Disease Severity and Quality of Life in Pruritic Dermatoses: A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]
Dermatology and TherapyIntroduction Chronic inflammatory skin conditions significantly impact the quality of life (QoL) of those affected. Itch is a cardinal symptom in many of these conditions, contributing decisively to the burden of disease.

Local Resource Availability and Subsidy Flow Mediate the Effects of Disturbances in Meta‐Ecosystems [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionDisturbances can negatively affect multiple levels of biological organization. With human activities increasing the intensity of disturbance regimes, we need to understand when and where adverse effects of disturbance occur.

Effects of Plateau Pika Disturbance on the Spatial Heterogeneity of Vegetation in Alpine Meadows
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Herbivory is one of the important factors that influence spatial heterogeneity of vegetation in grasslands. In this study, we focused on plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) to investigate the effects of the presence of small semi-fossorial herbivores and ...

Spatiotemporal Coupling Relationship Between Plateau Pika Disturbance and Alpine Meadow Degradation
Shuitu baochi tongbao, 2023 [Objective] Plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) is a key species in the alpine meadow ecosystem of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The coupling relationship between pika activity and meadow degradation was analyzed in order to further improve the observation ...

Multi-cyclone analysis and machine learning model implications of cyclone effects on forests
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021 Past studies of cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, tropical cyclones) disturbance showed that meteorological, topographical, and biological factors affect the patterns of forest disturbance intensity but left open the extent to which these findings were ...
