Accumulating crop functional trait data with citizen science
Scientific Reports, 2019 Trait-based ecology is greatly informed by large datasets for the analyses of inter- and intraspecific trait variation (ITV) in plants. This is especially true in trait-based agricultural research where crop ITV is high, yet crop trait data remains ...

Copy Number Variants and Their Association With Intracerebral Hemorrhage Risk: A Case–Control Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and lacks effective therapeutic interventions. Despite previous studies, the genetic underpinnings of ICH remain poorly understood. We sought to investigate the role of copy number variants (CNVs) in ICH pathophysiology to identify novel ...

Stem growth of woody species at the Nkuhlu exclosures, Kruger National Park: 2006–2010
Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2011 An important aspect of managing African conservation areas involves understanding how large herbivores affect woody plant growth. Yet, data on growth rates of woody species in savannas are scarce, despite its critical importance for developing models ...

Age‐Related Characteristics of SYT1‐Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorder
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives We describe the clinical manifestations and developmental abilities of individuals with SYT1‐associated neurodevelopmental disorder (Baker‐Gordon syndrome) from infancy to adulthood. We further describe the neuroradiological and electrophysiological characteristics of the condition at different ages, and explore the associations ...

Shared Genetic Effects and Antagonistic Pleiotropy Between Multiple Sclerosis and Common Cancers
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Epidemiologic studies have reported inconsistent altered cancer risk in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Factors such as immune dysregulation, comorbidities, and disease‐modifying therapies may contribute to this variability.
