A comparison of methods for excluding light from stems to evaluate stem photosynthesis. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci, 2023
Abstract Premise A comparison of methods using different materials to exclude light from stems to prevent stem CO2 exchange (i.e., photosynthesis), without affecting stem conductance to water vapor, surface temperature, and relative humidity, was conducted on stems of avocado trees in California.

A prospective study evaluating the correlation between local weather conditions, pollen counts and pruritus of dogs with atopic dermatitis. [PDF]

Vet Dermatol
Abstract Background Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a hereditary, generally pruritic and predominantly T‐cell‐driven inflammatory skin disease, involving an interplay between skin barrier abnormalities, allergen sensitisation and microbial dysbiosis.

Abundance, Diversity and Phenology of Mosquito Larvae in a Highly Anthropized Wetland: Health and Management Implications of Gándaras de Budiño (NW Spain). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The natural and anthropized wetland of Gándaras de Budiño (Galicia, Spain) hosts a great number of mosquito species. Culex pipiens s.l. and Culex torrentium pose an emerging risk for West Nile virus transmission. The temporary and polluted waters, as well as the summer and spring seasons, favor the larval proliferation of these vectors.

Seasonality regulates the structure and biogeochemical impact of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities across environmentally divergent neotropical dry forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 1598-1613, August 2023., 2023
These results highlight the importance of seasonality and plant community composition in shaping different aspects of SDTF ECM fungal community structure and diversity as well as the potential for both the plant and fungal components of ECM symbioses to impact soil functioning across heterogenous SDTFs.

Climate and microhabitat shape the prevalence of endozoochory in the seed rain of tropical montane forests

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 408-417, March 2023., 2023
We investigated the effects of climate and microhabitat conditions on the prevalence of endozoochorous plant species in the seed rain of tropical montane forests in southern Ecuador. Our analyses demonstrate that the prevalence of endozoochorous plant species in seed rain increases with temperature across elevations and with leaf area index within ...

Broad‐ and small‐scale environmental gradients drive variation in chemical, but not morphological, leaf traits of vascular epiphytes

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 8, Page 1858-1872, August 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Variation in leaf functional traits along environmental gradients can reveal how vascular epiphytes respond to broad‐ and small‐scale environmental gradients. Along elevational gradients, both temperature and precipitation likely play an important role as drivers of ...

Relative effects of climate and litter traits on decomposition change with time, climate and trait variability

Journal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 1, Page 447-458, January 2021., 2021
The relative effects of litter traits and climate on decomposition depend on the ranges in climate and litter traits considered and change with time. Our study emphasizes the critical role of representative ranges in climate and functional trait values for understanding the drivers of litter decomposition and for improving predictions of climate‐change

Randomized clinical trial of the effect of intraoperative humidified carbon dioxide insufflation in open laparotomy for colorectal resection

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 45-58, February 2020., 2020
Open abdominal surgery leads to peritoneal desiccation and damage, resulting in inflammation. This peritoneal damage can be mitigated by the use of warmed, humidified carbon dioxide. Peritoneal inflammation and open surgery Background Animal studies have shown that peritoneal injury can be minimized by insufflating the abdominal cavity with warm ...
