T2‐Weighted T1 Mapping and Automated Segmentation of CSF: Assessment of Solute Gradients in the Healthy Brain

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) serves as a medium for nutrient delivery and waste clearance. The T1 relaxation rate, R1, can be used to measure the concentration of intrinsic solutes and extrinsic contrast agents. Purpose To implement a method for R1 mapping and segmentation of CSF and to use this method to explore how R1 of CSF relates ...

Exercise, exerkines, and muscle–brain crosstalk in Parkinson's disease

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with motor and non‐motor symptoms, driven by dopaminergic loss and α‐synuclein accumulation. Beyond neurodegeneration, growing evidence highlights skeletal muscle health as a key determinant of prognosis, with sarcopenia and frailty contributing to greater disability, fall ...

Breynia phuongiana (Phyllanthaceae), a new species from the Central Highlands of Vietnam

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species, Breynia phuongiana (Phyllanthaceae subgen. Sauropus), is described and illustrated from the Central Highlands of Vietnam. It is morphologically similar to B. beillei, B. bonii, and B. thorelii, but differs in having oblong‐elliptic leaves, sepals marked with reddish striations, an androphore exceeding 1 mm in length, and distinctly ...

Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits

Oikos, EarlyView.
According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.

Urban‐driven homogenization of aquatic subsidy size structure cascades to riparian predator communities

Oikos, EarlyView.
The export of emergent aquatic insects is a critical energy subsidy for terrestrial food webs. While urbanization is known to alter stream communities, its effects on the size structure of these insect subsidies and the subsequent consequences for riparian predators remain poorly understood.

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to

Les forêts face aux sécheresses et canicules : causes de dépérissements, facteurs aggravants et différences de sensibilité entre les espèces

Revue Forestière Française, 2023
Des sécheresses impactant fortement les forêts se sont déjà produites dans le passé en Europe (1911, à la fin des années 1940, 1976). Les plus récentes des étés 2003, 2018 et 2022, ont été marquées également par des vagues de chaleur sans précédent.
