Combining transient dynamics and logistic‐asymptotic growth to study the recovery of two seabird populations after rat eradication

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examines the demographic dynamics of two seabird populations on Tromelin Island, 15 years after the eradication of brown rats. The results indicate that these populations are in good health and are expected to continue growing until breeding sites are saturated in about a century.

Prevalence of functional disability in activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) and associated factors, as predictors of morbidity and mortality [PDF]

, 2009
[Abstract] The aim of this study is to establish the existing relationship among variables referred to the person, specifically age and gender, and the functional dependence in basic ADL and in IADL, as well as the possible relationship it has with the ...

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Occupational Therapy Lymphedema Management and Its Relationship to Quality of Life [PDF]

, 2020
In the United States, one in five women who survive breast cancer will develop lymphedema (DiSipio, Rye, Newman, & Hayes, 2013). Lymphedema is the chronic, progressive swelling of tissue due to inadequate lymphatic function. Over time, protein-rich fluid

Hierarchical decline of the initiative and performance of complex activities of daily living in dementia [PDF]

, 2017
Objectives: While basic activities of daily living hierarchically decline in dementia, little is known about the decline of individual instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).

Limitations in activities of daily living and support needs – Analysis of GEDA 2019/2020-EHIS [PDF]

, 2022
Being able to perform activities of daily living is an important component of a person's ability to function. If these activities are impaired, support is needed. Using data from GEDA 2019/2020-EHIS, we present how many people aged 55 and older living in

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since
