The impact of lianas on tree regeneration in tropical forest canopy gaps: evidence for an alternative pathway of gap‐phase regeneration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
1 Regeneration in forest canopy gaps is thought to lead invariably to the rapid recruitment and growth of trees and the redevelopment of the canopy. Our observations, however, suggest that an alternate successional pathway is also likely, whereby gap ...

Climate‐induced shifts in long‐term tropical tree reproductive phenology: Insights from species dependent on and independent of biotic pollination

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the

A Mechanistic Explanation for Global Patterns of Liana Abundance and Distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
One of the main goals in ecology is determining the mechanisms that control the abundance and distribution of organisms. Using data from 69 tropical forests worldwide, I demonstrate that liana (woody vine) abundance is correlated negatively with mean ...

Sex‐specific impact of repeated adolescent vapour exposure to JWH‐018 on dopamine response, behaviour and pharmacokinetics across adolescence and adulthood

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Alarming trends show that vaping e‐cigarettes containing synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists, such as JWH‐018, is increasing among youth. However, the effects of these trends are unclear in both sexes. We therefore characterized the neuropharmacological effects of adolescent JWH‐018 inhalation in male and female rats.

‘Talk to Us, Not About Us’: Children's Understandings and Experiences of Participation in Australian Family Law

open access: yesChild &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A hive of recent policy and legislative activity in Australian family law has emphasized the importance of children's right to participate in decision‐making following parental separation. Yet a powerful tension persists between supporting children's right to participation and protecting children from parental conflict.

The Distribution of Lianas and Their Change in Abundance in Temperate Forests Over the Past 45 Years [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Lianas (woody vines) are an important and dynamic component of many forests throughout the world, and increases in CO2, mean winter temperature, and forest fragmentation may promote their growth and proliferation in temperate forests.

Addiction and chronic skin diseases: A Pan‐European study on prevalence, associations and patient impact

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This pan‐European study reveals high rates of addiction in patients with chronic skin diseases. Smoking, alcohol, drug use, gambling, and internet addiction were prevalent and associated with quality of life, demographics, and region. The findings support integrating addiction screening into dermatologic care to improve outcomes.
