Patterns of leaf trait variation underlie ecological differences among sympatric tree species of Damburneya in a tropical rainforest. [PDF]
Am J Bot, 2022 Abstract Premise Although ecological differentiation driven by altitude and soil is hypothesized to promote coexistence of sympatric tree species of Damburneya (Lauraceae), the mechanistic role of leaf functional variation on ecological differentiation among co‐occurring species remains unexplored.

A blinded randomised split-body clinical trial evaluating the effect of fluorescent light energy on antimicrobial management of canine interdigital furunculosis. [PDF]
Vet DermatolBackground – Canine interdigital furunculosis (CIF) is a complex, relapsing inflammatory condition, typically complicated by deep bacterial infections requiring prolonged systemic antibiotics. Hypothesis/Objectives – This split‐body study, where dogs acted as their own control, evaluated whether the adjunctive use of fluorescent light energy (FLE ...

Body composition in anorexia nervosa: Meta-analysis and meta-regression of cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. [PDF]
Int J Eat Disord, 2019 Abstract Objective Clinically, anorexia nervosa (AN) presents with altered body composition. We quantified these alterations and evaluated their relationships with metabolites and hormones in patients with AN longitudinally. Method In accordance with PRISMA guidelines, we conducted 94 meta‐analyses on 62 samples published during 1996–2019, comparing up

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, Page 2557-2574, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Assessing the biological relevance of variance components estimated using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)‐based mixed‐effects models is not straightforward. Variance estimates are constrained to be greater than zero and their posterior distributions are often asymmetric.

Internalization of body shape ideals and body dissatisfaction: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
International Journal of Eating Disorders, Volume 54, Issue 9, Page 1575-1600, September 2021., 2021 Abstract Objective The present meta‐analysis summarizes existing evidence on the relationship between the internalization of body shape ideals (IBSI) and body dissatisfaction. Method Pooled effect sizes (r) were computed using a random‐effects model. The robustness of the results was examined using influence analyses.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 7, Page 1388-1398, July 2021., 2021 The ‘Adopt a plant’ collaborative monitoring programme was launched in NE of Spain to produce standardized indices of abundance change and other early‐warning signals of concern or risk of population collapse. Such information is crucial to report the conservation status of threatened plants, and plants of Community interest (Habitats Directive).
