Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Serum neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels, a marker of axonal damage, are generally elevated in neurodegenerative conditions, but results in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (iPD) have been inconsistent. The p.A53T SNCA mutation usually leads to a severe form of PD.

Defense heterosis as a novel plant protection strategy: From theory to breeding practice
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Defense heterosis, the enhanced disease resistance of hybrids compared to their parents, has evolved from early observations of hybrid vigor to a novel research concept. Advances are now clarifying its diverse genetic and molecular mechanisms across various plant–pathogen interactions.

Oikos, EarlyView.Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

Open-back Shoes from the Southern Crypt in Piaseczno, Pomerania Province
Acta Universitatis Lodziensis: Folia Archaeologica, 2020 A discussion on modern shoes is limited on account of the scarcity of sources provided by archaeological research. This gap is to a certain extent filled by museum collections and iconography.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The return of grey wolves to multi‐use landscapes in North America and Europe raises concerns over accompanying risks of livestock predation. While local‐level risk factors have received attention, it is difficult to explore the role that landscape‐scale variables, such as landscape connectivity, play in driving livestock losses.

Capacity and limitations of US wild meat donation programmes
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Historically, sharing of wild harvests to facilitate food security followed concepts of kin selection and reciprocal altruism. However, cultural shifts have reduced access to foods for some populations in modern times. Cultural altruism through sustainably harvested wild meat donation programmes (WDPs) can reduce food and nutritional ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.

When does category spanning hurt or help producers?
Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary Scholars have theorized many factors shaping whether category spanning helps or hurts producers. We first synthesize evidence by meta‐analyzing 25 years of empirical research, which reveals a null effect of spanning on average, yet with significant subsample heterogeneity. To unpack it, we theorize and find that spanning hurts

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background During lambing, 10% iodine is often used to protect neonatal navel and ear tag sites. The evidence for its effectiveness is sparse. Recently, a specific navel barrier solution (NBS) was developed. Here, an in vivo field trial compared the two treatments. Methods Ten farms reported data from 6840 lambs. The navel and ear tag sites of
