Ground-Active Arthropod Diversity Under Energycane and Biomass Sorghum Production
InsectsEnergycane and biomass sorghum are two of the most promising cellulosic energy crops in the southeastern US. Research on these two energy crops has focused mainly on biomass production, and there is a lack of knowledge on their ability to promote ...

Bayesian analysis of the linear reaction norm model with unknown covariate [PDF]
, 2006 The reaction norm model is becoming a popular approach for the analysis of G x E interactions. In a classical reaction norm model, the expression of a genotype in different environments is described as a linear function (a reaction norm) of an ...

Estimating exposure response functions using ambient pollution concentrations [PDF]
, 2007 This paper presents an approach to estimating the health effects of an environmental hazard. The approach is general in nature, but is applied here to the case of air pollution.

Environmental effects on the covariation among pace‐of‐life traits
Ethology, 2019 Abstract Pace‐of‐life syndromes (POLSs) are suites of life‐history, physiological and behavioural traits that arise due to trade‐offs between allocation to current and future reproduction. Traits generally show covariation that can arise from genetic and environmental influences on phenotypes and constrain the independent evolution of

The McCance Brain Care Score and Mortality: Evidence From a Large‐Scale Population‐Based Cohort
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives This study aimed to examine the relationship between the McCance Brain Care Score (BCS) and mortality in the general population. Methods We conducted a prospective, population‐based cohort study using data from the UK Biobank. Participants with complete data enabling calculation of BCS and full mortality information were included ...

Early-Life Air Pollution Exposure, Neighborhood Poverty, and Childhood Asthma in the United States, 1990⁻2014. [PDF]
, 2018 Ambient air pollution is a well-known risk factor of various asthma-related outcomes, however, past research has often focused on acute exacerbations rather than asthma development.

Widespread covariation of early environmental exposures and trait-associated polygenic variation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017 Significance Environmental exposures are among the best predictors of health and educational outcomes. Models that estimate the effect of environmental exposures on developmental outcomes typically ignore genetic factors or focus on gene–environment interaction (whether individuals’ response to environmental exposures depends on their ...

Hospital Readmission After Traumatic Brain Injury Hospitalization in Community‐Dwelling Older Adults
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To examine the risk of hospital readmission after an index hospitalization for TBI in older adults. Methods Using data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, we used propensity score matching of individuals with an index TBI‐related hospitalization to individuals with (1) non‐TBI hospitalizations (primary analysis)
