Disturbance and clonal reproduction determine liana distribution and maintain liana diversity in a tropical forest

open access: yesEcology, 2014
Negative density dependence (NDD) and habitat specialization have received strong empirical support as mechanisms that explain tree species diversity maintenance and distribution in tropical forests. In contrast, disturbance appears to play only a minor role.

Periodontitis and Chronic Conditions in Older Adults: A Scoping Review and Evidence Map of Systematic Reviews

open access: yesGerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Periodontitis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory condition that frequently co‐occurs with systemic chronic diseases. Although older adults experience a high burden of both periodontitis and chronic conditions, the extent to which age‐specific evidence has been synthesised remains unclear.

Diversity and aboveground biomass of lianas in the tropical seasonal rain forests of Xishuangbanna, SW China

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2009
Lianas are important components of tropical forests and have significant impacts on the diversity, structure and dynamics of tropical forests. The present study documented the liana flora in a Chinese tropical region.

Wood Anatomical and Demographic Similarities Between Self-Standing Liana and Tree Seedlings in Tropical Dry Forests of Colombia

open access: yesPlants
Canopy lianas differ considerably from trees in terms of wood anatomical structure, and they are suggested to have a demographic advantage—faster growth and higher survival—than trees.

Seasonality and plasticity in the use of native and introduced plant resources by a large forest parrot

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

Lianas as a food resource for brown howlers (Alouatta guariba) and southern muriquis (Brachyteles arachnoides) in a forest fragment [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2009
Lianas as a food resource for brown howlers (Alouatta guariba) and southern muriquis (Brachyteles arachnoides) in a forest fragment.— Lianas, woody vines, are abundant and diverse in tropical forests, but their relative contribution as a source of food ...

Mapping malignant T‐cell states and immune circuits in Sézary syndrome by single‐cell analysis

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Peripheral blood single‐cell RNA‐seq from leukaemic CTCL defined three malignant T‐cell programmes: MTC CM, MTC Reg and MTC E/EM, each with distinct features and candidate vulnerabilities. For example, inferred immune circuits highlighted actionable IL‐10/JAK–TYK2–STAT3 signalling, KIR–MHC I inhibitory interactions and myeloid/B‐cell inflammatory and ...

Woody lianas increase in dominance and maintain compositional integrity across an Amazonian dam-induced fragmented landscape.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Tropical forest fragmentation creates insular biological communities that undergo species loss and changes in community composition over time, due to area- and edge-effects.

Neural correlates of pure apathy in multiple sclerosis: An exploratory neuroimaging study

open access: yesJournal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pure apathy is relatively common in people with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS), but its neural mechanisms remain unexplored. Therefore, we investigated the neural correlates of pure apathy in PwMS, differentiating it from depression. Sixty‐two PwMS underwent neuropsychological assessments and Magnetic Resonance Imaging scans.

A posttranslational proteomic survey of a single anatomically preserved human 20‐week postconception brain

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A well‐preserved 20 post‐conception week human brain was obtained and finely dissected into 18 anatomically distinct regions, including the pia mater. Each region underwent in‐depth proteomic analysis, encompassing both total protein content and post‐translational modifications.
