Diversity and evolution of a trait mediating ant–plant interactions: insights from extrafloral nectaries in Senna (Leguminosae) [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2012
Background and AimsPlants display a wide range of traits that allow them to use animals for vital tasks. To attract and reward aggressive ants that protect developing leaves and flowers from consumers, many plants bear extrafloral nectaries (EFNs). EFNs are exceptionally diverse in morphology and locations on a plant. In this study the evolution of EFN

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Guideline for Medication Management of Distressing Symptoms in Older Patients Receiving End‐of‐Life Palliative Care

Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Older patients receiving end‐of‐life palliative care often present with multiple geriatric syndromes, frailty, and comorbid symptom burden, resulting in a high risk of medication‐related harm. This guideline focuses on pharmacological management of distressing symptoms in older patients receiving end‐of‐life or hospice‐oriented palliative care,
