Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Status epilepticus (SE) is a common neurological emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. SE is classified as refractory when it persists despite benzodiazepine and second‐line antiseizure medication. Managing refractory SE in the intensive care setting often requires high doses of sedative drugs, which can induce ...

Imaging malaria parasites across scales and time
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract The idea that disease is caused at the cellular level is so fundamental to us that we might forget the critical role microscopy played in generating and developing this insight. Visually identifying diseased or infected cells lays the foundation for any effort to curb human pathology.
