The flexible, the stereotyped and the in‐between: putting together the combinatory tool use origins hypothesis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tool use research has long made the distinction between tool using that is considered learned and flexible, and that which appears to be instinctive and stereotyped. However, animals with an inherited tool use specialisation can exhibit flexibility, while tool use that is spontaneously innovated can be limited in its expression and facilitated

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Atypical Wounds in Chronic Graft‐Versus‐Host Disease and Peripheral Arterial Disease Caused by Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The term “atypical wounds” primarily refers to lesions with immunological or cancerous etiologies. However, these wounds can also be drug‐induced. We report about a 32‐year‐old man with a 6‐year history of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and chronic graft‐versus‐host disease (cGvHD) following an HLA‐compatible allogeneic stem cell ...

Addressing biases in sliding window analysis gives new insight into the response of parturition date to weather in a wild mammal

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animal breeding phenology in temperate and high latitude regions is often predicted by weather variables, such as temperature. Much work on this topic has focused on taxonomic groups that employ adaptive plastic responses to annual variation in an environmental cue, with analytical approaches developed to determine when weather has an effect and the ...

Do Policy Capacities Matter for Federal Policy Design? Evidence From the Implementation of Three Social Policies in Brazil

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bringing together the literature on policy design, policy capacity and policy making in multilevel systems, this paper argues that the effectiveness of policy design in federal countries depends, ceteris paribus, on the adequacy of federal and local policy capacities.

Poly(L‐Lactide‐Co‐ε‐Caprolactone)/glass Fiber Composites: Toward Improved Mechanical Properties of Polylactide‐Based Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Enhanced impact strength in PLLA‐based composites via ε‐caprolactone incorporation in the matrix. ABSTRACT Inherent brittleness and limited toughness of polylactide (PLA) restrict its use in high‐performance applications. To overcome these limitations, poly(L‐lactide) (PLLA) is often blended with more ductile thermoplastics or chemically modified ...

Arbuscular mycorrhiza in the urban jungle: Glomeromycotina communities of the dominant city tree across Amsterdam

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Trees in cities provide a great number of benefits to people and nature, but they are challenged by harsh conditions. Trees rely on helpful fungi in their roots to get essential nutrients from the soil, but we do not know which of these fungi are resistant to city landscapes.

Les origines du culte de saint Martin de Tours aux Vè et VIè siècles [PDF]

, 2009
The cult of saint Martin is associated with the saint's grave at Tours, and this is the logical frame of the rise of a saint's cult. However in the case of Martin, first saint who was not a martyr, we can observe a very large range of early witnesses ...

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global food production is increasingly threatened by soil degradation, climate change and the rising costs of synthetic fertilisers. Circular agriculture, which promotes resource reuse, is a promising solution, but using treated wastewater and biosolids in farming introduces risks from emerging contaminants like pharmaceutical residues.

Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...
