Nutritional and reproductive dynamics of moose near their southern range limit
Though southern moose (Alces alces) had relatively low seasonal fluctuations in body fat, their condition was positively associated with pregnancy and adult survival but did not influence recruitment of young. We demonstrated clear signs of nutritional limitation and unexpected patterns of reproductive performance that may be unique to moose living at ...

Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Abstract Purpose Traditional management of hyperextension deformity in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) involves routine under‐resection of distal femoral bone to lower the joint line and close the extension gap. This study aimed to assess how a robotic functional alignment (FA) workflow with pre‐resection gap assessment managed hyperextending knees to ...

Prognostic Value of Impaired Vocal Cord Mobility in T2N0 Glottic Cancer Treated With IMRT
T2N0M0 glottic cancers with impaired vocal cord mobility (VCM) have worse outcomes than T2N0M0 tumors with normal VCM, but still fare better than T3N0M0 disease. These findings support subdivision of T2 glottic cancer into T2a (normal VCM) and T2b (impaired VCM) in future TNM revisions.

ABSTRACT Forest ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. As a significant terrestrial carbon sink, plantations exhibit carbon stock patterns that are shaped by tree species composition, stand structure, and environmental conditions. Here, we investigated typical plantation types in the Mufu Mountain, Hubei Province.
