Extending cognition: a vegetal rejoinder to extensionless thought and to extended cognition
In this paper, we propose a crucial supplement to the framework of plant cognition, namely extending cognition. We argue that plants and other organisms with an open-ended body plan actively extend their cognition when growing tissues or organs.

Key Invariants in the Evolution of Sociality Across Taxa
Elucidating the evolutionary origins of social behavior remains a major challenge due to the complexity of social systems across taxa. Here, we examine social behavior through the lens of competition and cooperation across the three domains of life ...

EXB1/WRKY71 transcription factor regulates both shoot branching and responses to abiotic stresses
As the sessile organisms, plants evolve different strategies to survive in adverse environmental conditions. The elaborate regulation of shoot branching is an important strategy for plant orphological adaptation to various environments, while the ...

Consumer Acceptance of Plant-Based Meat Substitutes: A Narrative Review
The great environmental impact of increasing animal product consumption requires the willingness to reduce or to substitute meat consumption. A possible substitute product, plant-based meat substitute, is made from plants and offers a sensory experience ...

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

The plant microbiome can affect host function in many ways and characterizing the ecological factors that shape endophytic (microbes living inside host plant tissues) community diversity is a key step in understanding the impacts of environmental change ...

Behavioral consequences of plant invasion: an invasive plant alters rodent antipredator behavior [PDF]
Antipredator behavior is an important aspect of predator–prey dynamics and prey survival, and invasive species are becoming an increasing threat to ecosystems worldwide. Although these 2 concepts are frequently connected in terms of invasive predators and nao ¨ve prey, other effects of invasive species, such the creation of novel habitats by invasive ...

Plant-mediated effects in the Brassicaceae on the performance and behaviour of parasitoids
Direct and indirect plant defences are well studied, particularly in the Brassicaceae. Glucosinolates (GS) are secondary plant compounds characteristic in this plant family. They play an important role in defence against herbivores and pathogens.

ABSTRACT Introduction Bloodstream infections due to repeated vascular access (VA) puncture and circuit connections remain major concerns in hemodialysis. Therefore, we examined current practices for glove, disinfectant, and personal protective equipment (PPE) use according to VA type in national university hospitals in Japan.

ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...
