Concurrent ANNPE and vertebral T-cell lymphoma in a dog: A case report. [PDF]
J Small Anim PractAcute non‐compressive nucleus pulposus extrusion (ANNPE) is a recognised cause of peracute spinal cord injury in dogs, involving sudden extrusion of non‐degenerated nucleus pulposus with minimal compression. While often linked to vigorous activity, its triggers remain unclear.

Insufficient Logging Intervals Impede Upper Soil Recovery in Temperate Beech Forests: Insights From Two Case-Studies in Poland. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study examined the effects of forest operations on soil microarthropod biodiversity and litter decomposition in temperate beech forests, comparing disturbed and undisturbed soils across different harvesting timelines. While litter decomposition remained unaffected, significant soil disturbances were found in areas impacted by machine passage, with

Comparative study of SRS end-to-end QA processes of a diode array device and an anthropomorphic phantom loaded with GafChromic XD film. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med Phys, 2022 Abstract Purpose End‐to‐end testing (E2E) is a necessary process for assessing the readiness of the stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) program and annual QA of an SRS system according to the AAPM MPPG 9a. This study investigates the differences between using a new SRS MapCHECK (SRSMC) system and an anthropomorphic phantom film‐based system in a large ...

Shared community history strengthens plant diversity effects on below-ground multitrophic functioning. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThe relationship between plant richness and below‐ground multitrophic functionality was stronger in communities with shared plant and soil community history. This work highlights the obscure role of below‐ground consumers on diversity–ecosystem functioning relationships.

Exceptional endemicity of Aotearoa New Zealand biota shows how taxa dispersal traits, but not phylogeny, correlate with global species richness. [PDF]
J R Soc N ZABSTRACT Species’ with more limited dispersal and consequently less gene flow are more likely to form new spatially segregated species and thus contribute disproportionally to endemic biota and global species richness. Aotearoa New Zealand has exceptional endemicity, with 52% of its 54,000 named species endemic, including 32%, 39% and 68% for ...

Linking agricultural diversification practices, soil arthropod communities and soil health
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 9, Page 1952-1963, September 2023., 2023 Soil arthropods respond to agricultural diversification and can be used as bioindicators to assess the effects of diversification on soil health. Below‐ground arthropod communities are structured by crop type, suggesting that planting specific crops may promote soil arthropods and their services. We showed that incorporating winter pea and forage crops
