Preliminary insights of the genetic diversity and invasion pathways of Cedrela odorata in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution
Cedrela odorata is considered the second most invasive tree species of the Galapagos Islands. Although it is listed in CITES Appendix II and there are population losses in mainland Ecuador, in Galapagos it is paradoxically a species of concern due to its

Endocranial anatomy of the earliest Cretaceous European neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis provides new evidence for the ecological evolution of Pholidosauridae

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We present new insights into the internal cranial anatomy of the neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis, based on CT‐scan data of material from the lowermost Cretaceous Purbeck Limestone Group, southern UK. From the study of the endocast, we obtained new information on the phylogeny and the ecological evolution of the Family ...

Microscopic colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis are bidirectionally associated: A nationwide matched cohort and case–control study

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Microscopic colitis (MC) is an inflammatory disease of the colon. Although there is a known association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), evidence linking MC and PSC remains scarce. We aimed to investigate the bidirectional association between MC and PSC.

Cold comfort for change: Stream mats as biological indicators of ecosystem processes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Glacier‐fed streams (GFSs) make ideal systems for studying climate‐related changes. Some of the best‐studied GFSs are found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) of Antarctica, one of the Earth's coldest and driest deserts. Despite their harsh and isolated nature, MDV GFSs represent an oasis of life in a landscape visually devoid of it, with ...

Prevalence and Factors Associated With Symptom Profiles of Disorders of Gut‐Brain Interaction in Obesity Before and After Treatment

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
DGBI symptoms are common in obesity and have the potential to exacerbate negative health outcomes. In general, the prevalence of DGBI symptoms decreases after obesity treatment, but patients can also shift from one GI symptom profile to another. ABSTRACT Background & Aims Disorders of gut‐brain interaction (DGBI) in obesity could impair health outcomes.
