From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

Examining the Psychometric Properties of the Ultra‐Short Version of the Oral Health Impact Profile in Australia

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) is the most widely used instrument to measure the subjective impact of oral conditions. This study reports the shortening and psychometric evaluation of an ultra‐short version (OHIP‐7A) from the OHIP‐14 in a large national Australian population.

Do Temporal Changes in Complete Tooth Loss Point to Cohort Effects?

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Complete tooth loss is more common among older adults; however, its prevalence has declined significantly over time. It is currently unknown whether age and period effects act independently or whether they interact to produce differential effects by birth cohorts.

Lianas as structural parasites: A re-evaluation

, 2011
Lianas are a principal physiognomic component of tropical and subtropical forests and are typically considered to be parasites of trees. In contrast, the substantial contribution of lianas to rainforest leaf litter production (up to 40%) suggests that ...

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

Ibis, 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.

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

Journal 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 ...

Primary Succession of Lianas in an Amazonian Floodplain Forest

, 2003
Lianas (woody vines) are a major component of Neotropical forests. This investigation examined liana composition in a primary successional forest formed from bank erosion and main channel migration of the Manu River. Previous investigation of this system
