Clarifying species dependence under joint species distribution modeling [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Joint species distribution modeling is attracting increasing attention these days, acknowledging the fact that individual level modeling fails to take into account expected dependence/interaction between species. These models attempt to capture species dependence through an associated correlation matrix arising from a set of latent multivariate normal ...

Gut throughput rate and satiation of the invasive Lionfish (Pterois volitans) and its potential impact on an endemic, endangered Labrid fish Halichoeres socialis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The invasive Indo-Pacific Lionfish Pterois volitans has been recognized as a severe threat to indigenous fish species on Caribbean reefs. Previous studies have identified an extensive variety of Caribbean fishes in the stomachs of lionfish, but few have ...

Phytosociological Status of a Monotypic Genus Indopiptadenia: A Near Threatened Tree from the Terai-Bhabar Region of Central Himalaya

open access: yes, 2015
A phytosociological assessment was done in Terai-Bhabar region of the central Himalaya to understand the current status of a monotypic genus Indopiptadenia. Identification of different forest communities within the region was also accomplished.

Determinants of bird conservation‐action implementation and associated population trends of threatened species

open access: yesConservation Biology, 2016
Conservation actions, such as habitat protection, attempt to halt the loss of threatened species and help their populations recover. The efficiency and the effectiveness of actions have been examined individually.

Intrinsically Soft Implantable Electronics for Long‐term Biosensing Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
Intrinsically soft implantable biosensors address the mechanical mismatch of conventional rigid implants, improving biocompatibility and stability. This review explores soft encapsulation matrices, stretchable conductors, implantation strategies, and chronic fixation techniques.

Correlation Between Fecal Microbiota and Corticosteroid Responsiveness in Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia: an Exploratory Study

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uses gut microbiome data to predict corticosteroid response in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Fecal samples from 212 patients with ITP are sequenced. Six machine‐learning algorithms are used to train predictive models. The support vector machine‐based model integrated clinical data and selected microbial species, diversities ...

β‐Glucuronidase‐Expressing Lactobacillus reuteri Triggers Irinotecan Enterotoxicity Through Depleting the Regenerative Epithelial Stem/Progenitor Pool

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
XLP mitigated CPT11 mucositis by suppressing GUS‐expressing microbes, notably L. reuteri, and diminishing bacterial GUS activity, consequently reducing SN38 accumulation to protect the intestinal epithelium. This preservation of the mucosal stem cell niche enabled rapid regeneration of secretory lineages such as mucin‐producing goblet cells, which ...

Declining representation of imperiled Atlantic Forest birds in community-science datasets

open access: yesPerspectives in Ecology and Conservation
While monitoring is essential for effective conservation, obtaining occurrence data is often challenging, time consuming and expensive. The Brazilian Atlantic Forest has a high number of threatened and endemic species that need effective and urgent ...
