Plant functional traits best explain invasive species’ performance within a dynamic ecosystem - A review

Trees, Forests and People, 2022
Invasive alien species (IAS) poses a significant threat to plant biodiversity globally and even considered one of the largest threats to biodiversity, second to habitat loss.

Functional diversity of jasmonates in rice [PDF]

Rice, 2015
Phytohormone jasmonates (JA) play essential roles in plants, such as regulating development and growth, responding to environmental changes, and resisting abiotic and biotic stresses. During signaling, JA interacts, either synergistically or antagonistically, with other hormones, such as salicylic acid (SA), gibberellin (GA), ethylene (ET), auxin ...

A Functional Approach to Diversity Profiles

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C: Applied Statistics, 2009
SummaryDiversity plays a central role in ecological theory and its conservation and management are important issues for the wellbeing and stability of ecosystems. The aim of this work is to provide a reliable theoretical framework for performing statistical analysis on ecological diversity by means of the joint use of diversity profiles and functional ...

Functional diversity of resilin in Arthropoda [PDF]

Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2016
Resilin is an elastomeric protein typically occurring in exoskeletons of arthropods. It is composed of randomly orientated coiled polypeptide chains that are covalently cross-linked together at regular intervals by the two unusual amino acids dityrosine and trityrosine forming a stable network with a high degree of flexibility and mobility. As a result

Functional diversity of natural IgM [PDF]

International Immunology, 1999
This paper proposes a method for the quantitative characterization of repertoire diversity of an unknown mixture of antibodies on the basis of its reactivity profile in the quantitative immunoblot (QIB). The QIB is calibrated by measuring the reactivity profiles of supernatants of known 'diversity' (i.e. known numbers of B cell clones).

Taxonomic description curves of major lineages are influenced by biological and societal factors

Scientific Reports
Taxonomic description curves illustrate how the rate of new species descriptions changes over time. Their variability and overall shape are influenced by both biological properties and societal factors.

Sustained Therapeutic Efficacy of Intravenous Plasminogen Concentrate in Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Plasminogen Deficiency: An Analysis of Dosing Parameters and Clinical Outcomes

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Type 1 plasminogen deficiency (PLGD‐1) is an ultra‐rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the PLG gene and affects approximately 1.6 individuals per million. The condition is characterized by decreased plasminogen levels and impaired function, resulting in fibrin‐rich lesions on mucous membranes throughout the body.
