The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Implications of climate change for coastal and inter-tidal habitats in the UK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Coastal habitats are diverse and vary in the extent to which they are shaped by physiographic processes, such as wave action, wind, tides and sediment availability, and the relative influence of terrestrial and marine environments, e.g.

Environmental and geomorphological drivers of frog diversity on islands worldwide

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Island biogeography models primarily rely on island physical features and isolation to explain their biodiversity patterns. While newer models have incorporated functional traits to understand plant distribution, few empirical studies have tried to disentangle geometric constraints from niche‐based processes to predict multiple diversity facets of ...

Refining Osteoarthritis Risk Prediction: Average Sagittal Abdominal Diameter Complements and Enhances Body Mass Index With Sex‐Specific Insights From National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

open access: yesHealth Care Science, EarlyView.
Our findings support the integration of ASAD alongside BMI in OA risk assessment, particularly in female populations, to address limitations of BMI‐centric models. Implementing our proposed approach could enable refined, sex‐, and age‐targeted preventive interventions.

From the individual to the community and beyond: water quality, stress indicators and key species in coastal waters [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
This review examines water quality and stress indicators at levels of organisation from the individual to the community and beyond by means of three case studies concentrating on rocky shores within the north-east Atlantic.

A Student‐Led Tele‐Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) Program for Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) Survivors—A Pilot Implementation Study

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) is a non‐invasive, evidence‐based treatment that is used to improve swallowing in head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors. This prospective, pilot implementation study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and potential clinical effectiveness of a novel student‐led tele‐EMST program for ...
