Habitual violent media exposure does not bias facial emotional processing: a comparison of interactive vs. non-interactive content

Scientific Reports
The relationship between violent media exposure and aggression remains widely debated. The General Aggression Model (GAM) suggests that repeated exposure fosters aggression through the formation of aggressive scripts and emotional desensitization ...

Demonstration, validation, and application of hyperspectral microscopy for the collection of cyanobacterial spectral signatures

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanobacterial and other algal blooms are an environmental concern in waterbodies worldwide. While these blooms are a nuisance for recreational activities, they can also be harmful to human and wildlife health when the algae produce and release toxins.

Single‐Breathhold 3D MR Elastography in the Liver, With Simultaneous R2* and PDFF Mapping

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Purpose To develop a sequence for the rapid acquisition of MR elastography (MRE) parameters in 3D, with simultaneous measurement of proton‐density fat fraction (PDFF) and R2* for multiparametric assessment of liver disease. Methods The proposed sequence uses an interleaved motion‐encoding scheme to acquire 3D volumes of all motion encodings and wave ...

Inferring breeding phenology and reproductive success from the emergence of juveniles in population monitoring

Oikos, EarlyView.
Phenological shifts caused by climate change are increasingly documented in wild populations. These events may be inferred by examining changes in population abundance and age structure throughout the breeding season, often using citizen science. However, several gaps still limit optimal use of such data.

Functional diversity in agricultural landscapes: evidence of long‐term clustering and multi‐scale effects of land use on avian communities

Oikos, EarlyView.
Functional diversity (FD) is an essential community property connecting biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and conservation objectives. In agricultural landscapes, avian communities, which play key functional roles, are facing large‐scale biodiversity erosion, largely due to land‐use changes.

Connecting the distribution and diversification of marine plants

Oikos, EarlyView.
Integration of the evolutionary history with distribution of extant species is necessary to explain present‐day diversity, particularly for ‘foundation' species, such as seagrasses, which create habitats of socioecological relevance. Here, we resolved if varying evolutionary history of seagrass families has imprinted the distribution ranges of extant ...

Controlling the Quality of Nanodrugs According to Their New Property—Radiothermal Emission

Pharmaceutics
Previous studies have shown that complexly shaped nanoparticles (NPs) have their intrinsic radiothermal emission in the millimeter range. This article presents a method for controlling the quality of nanodrugs—immunobiological preparations (IBPs)—based ...

Community dynamics of lignicolous lichens on standing deadwood in a 275‐year chronosequence

Oikos, EarlyView.
Dead trees provide discrete habitat patches in which patch quality changes gradually due to wood decomposition. Although in most cases these patches persist for not more than a few decades, in some ecosystems deadwood decomposition and the consequent change in habitat patch quality can be a centuries‐long process, potentially leading to dynamics of ...

Seasonal variation of leaf functional traits in sub‐Arctic plants

Oikos, EarlyView.
Leaf functional traits are informative of plant fitness and functions in ecosystems. These functional traits and their variation across geographic extents are much studied but less is known about their temporal variation over a growing season. Here, we provide an analysis of the seasonal variation in six leaf functional traits of 11 sub‐Arctic vascular
