Ecological and functional effects of habitat conversion and seasons on fruit‐feeding butterfly assemblages in tropical dry forests Efeitos ecológicos e funcionais da conversão do habitat e da sazonalidade sobre assembleias de borboletas frugívoras em florestas tropicais secas

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Land‐use change and seasonality shape the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of fruit‐feeding butterflies in tropical dry forests. Pastures reduce phylogenetic diversity and increase wing fluctuating asymmetry, while taxonomic and functional diversity is greater in the wet season than in the dry season.

Long‐term outcome of a non‐reducible congenital atlanto‐occipital subluxation in a warmblood foal

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary An 11‐day‐old warmblood colt was referred to the Large Animal Teaching Hospital, University of Copenhagen, for further investigation of a stiff neck and lateral deviation of the poll, with suspicion of a congenital cervical vertebral abnormality.

Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.

Arthropod niche differentiation linked to grazing‐induced sward islets in intensively managed agricultural pasture

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
In a given number of samples, grassland sward islets contain more species of arthropods than the surrounding sward. When corrected for abundance, there is no difference in species richness, suggesting that the effect of islets might purely be to concentrate arthropods. The community structure differences indicated by non‐metric multidimensional scaling

Impacts of land use change on diaspore‐dispersing ant assemblages in southwestern Amazonia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Land use changes shift ant assemblages, more intensive land uses are dominated by generalist and open habitat specialist species engaging in group foraging. The diaspore removal rates cannot differ, but the quality of dispersal was lower in disturbed habitats.

Nursing Student Perspectives and Curricular Insights on Health Equity Content: Findings From a Mixed Methods Study

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims (1) Explore prelicensure baccalaureate nursing students' perceptions about applying any health equity knowledge gained in school for their future nursing practice. (2) Evaluate whether student perspectives of health equity learning in their programs align with explicit health equity content within curricular documents.
