Trait anxiety and the neural efficiency of manipulation in working memory [PDF]
, 2012 The present study investigates the effects of trait anxiety on the neural efficiency of working memory component functions (manipulation vs. maintenance) in the absence of threat-related stimuli.

PalmTraits 1.0, a species-level functional trait database of palms worldwide
Scientific Data, 2019 Plant traits are critical to plant form and function —including growth, survival and reproduction— and therefore shape fundamental aspects of population and ecosystem dynamics as well as ecosystem services.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Ecology and EvolutionVertical stratification in forests acts as an ecological filter, driving woody plants to evolve specialized survival strategies. Angiosperms, in particular, develop secondary xylem with three interdependent functions—water transport, mechanical support ...

Parallel functional and stoichiometric trait shifts in South American and African forest communities with elevation [PDF]
, 2017 The Amazon and Congo basins are the two largest continuous blocks of tropical forest with a central role for global biogeochemical cycles and ecology. However, both biomes differ in structure and species richness and composition.

Describing mate preference functions and other function‐valued traits [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2017 AbstractMate preferences are important causes of sexual selection. They shape the evolution of sexual ornaments and displays, sometimes maintaining genetic diversity and sometimes promoting speciation. Mate preferences can be challenging to study because they are expressed in animal brains and because they are a function of the features of potential ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This study explores salivary RNA for breast cancer (BC) diagnosis, prognosis, and follow‐up. High‐throughput RNA sequencing identified distinct salivary RNA signatures, including novel transcripts, that differentiate BC from healthy controls, characterize histological and molecular subtypes, and indicate lymph node involvement.

Hybridisation generates a hopeful monster: a hermaphroditic selfing cichlid [PDF]
, 2016 Compared to other phylogenetic groups, self-fertilization (selfing) is exceedingly rare in vertebrates and is known to occur only in one small clade of fishes.

Root exudation rate as functional trait involved in plant nutrient‐use strategy classification
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Plants adopt a variety of life history strategies to succeed in the Earth's diverse environments. Using functional traits which are defined as “morphological, biochemical, physiological, or phonological” characteristics measurable at the individual level,
