Menopause and vascular endothelial health: Is it all about the oestrogen?
Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality in women, and CVD risk is accelerated during the menopause transition. This acceleration has traditionally been attributed to the hallmark decline in oestradiol with menopause. However, the menopause transition is also characterized by changes in other sex hormones that exert effects

Abstract Sports field surface hardness is spatially and temporally variable, and evidence suggests this variability can influence athlete perceptions, performance, and injury risk. Management strategies addressing within‐field variability, rather than mean hardness alone, are therefore needed.

We estimated the interplay among floral color polymorphism, ploidy variation, floral scent composition, and fitness in natural polymorphic populations of a deceptive orchid. Our case study highlights the importance of considering floral polymorphism as an integrated phenotype and explains its maintenance in the natural populations of this orchid ...

ABSTRACT Firms often seek to replace human agents (HAs) with automated agents (AAs) for customer service, but customers still tend to react more negatively to AAs than to HAs. This meta‐analysis examines agent‐related perceptions (i.e., humanlikeness, warmth, and competence), which represent the key upstream customer reactions shaping downstream ...

β‐Thalassemia intermedia exhibits distinct region‐specific molecular patterns shaped by three interacting genetic axes: β‐globin mutation severity, HbF‐inducing modifiers, and α‐globin gene dosage. Mediterranean populations are predominantly mutation‐driven, Middle Eastern populations rely on HbF compensation, and Asian populations are governed by ...

Dispersal‐limited birds at high risk from cattle farming deforestation in tropical forests
Deforestation driven by farming is a major threat to tropical biodiversity. Although this impact is well documented, assessments at local or regional scales often underestimate biodiversity loss at broader national scales by up to 60%. A key question remains: how do farming activities affect functional diversity and species traits across different ...
