Hydraulic function of medullary bundles in a tropical root climber
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Medullary bundles, which are vascular bundles in the pith, have evolved multiple times. However, their functional significance remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated how medullary bundles are involved in the vascular architecture and hydraulic function in a tropical root climber, Adelobotrys scandens (Melastomataceae) to ...

Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.

Telecommunication microwave links as a source of rainfall information for urban rainfall-runoff modelling [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper we investigate potential of commercial microwave links (MWL) to capture the spatio-temporal rainfall dynamics and thus improve rainfall-runoff modelling in urban areas.

Rainfall in Queensland: Part 2: Is the inter-annual variability in Queensland rainfall due to variability in rainfall frequency, intensity or both? [PDF]
, 2012 This report investigates the effect of changes in the number of rainy days, the amount of rain that falls on rainy days or a combination of the two on the inter-annual variations in Queensland rainfall. The objective is to determine the association between climate drivers and the occurrence of rainfall in Queensland.

Refining a preclinical model of viral myocarditis in accordance with biotech standards
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.This study aimed to refine a murine model of Coxsackievirus B3‐induced myocarditis by integrating dietary and imaging innovations to improve animal welfare, data quality, and clinical applicability. The refined diet significantly reduced animal health burden, reduced weight loss, and stabilized blood glucose during development of cardiac inflammation ...
