Archives of Internal Medicine, 1991 A number of "new" diseases have been discovered in the waning decades of the 20th century. Some are the result of newly evolved or more aggressive pathogenic organisms, eg, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, while other conditions are the result of the application of modern medical technology. The persistent vegetative state (PVS) is an example of the

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The optimal timing of reproduction depends on the relative risk and benefit of continued growth. These risks and benefits depend on the local environment, which varies seasonally. While temperature and water availability are well‐studied selective agents on reproductive timing, less is known about other seasonally variable factors ...

Turning a new leaf: PhenoVision provides leaf phenology data at the global scale
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Plant phenology dictates many aspects of community function and ecosystem dynamics. Yet, global phenology data are still limited, especially in areas lacking monitoring programs. Here we present a new data resource, PhenoVision–Leaf, which extends a computer vision pipeline utilizing iNaturalist digital image vouchers to produce global‐
