Drivers of tropical rainforest biomass in Papua New Guinea: large trees and taxonomic diversity dominate over other drivers

Oikos, EarlyView.
Tropical forests are among the most diverse and productive ecosystems globally, with aboveground biomass (AGB) storing a substantial portion of terrestrial carbon. While biodiversity, composition, and forest structure have been shown to affect AGB, their relative roles, interactions, and direct and indirect effects, with consideration of tree‐size ...

Competition and soil conditions limit the growth of High Arctic non‐native plants

Oikos, EarlyView.
Non‐native vascular plant species in the High Arctic are currently restricted mainly to settlements and other anthropogenically disturbed areas. The reasons for this remain unclear, but climate or dispersal do not appear to be the main limiting factors. Instead, biotic interactions combined with soil conditions may play important roles.

Integrating vision, audition and olfaction traits: a roadmap for contrasting sensory ecologies of birds and rodents

Oikos, EarlyView.
Sensory ecology seeks to understand how organisms detect and use information from their environment, yet comparative analyses across multiple sensory modalities remain rare. Here, we present a roadmap for contrasting the sensory ecologies of birds and rodents using surrogate morphological and acoustic traits associated with vision, audition, and ...

Genetic Investigation in Fetal Growth Restriction: An Integrated Approach for Clinical Practice

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International guidelines recommend genetic testing when fetal growth restriction (FGR) accompanies structural anomalies, but recommendations for apparently isolated FGR remain variable, particularly regarding gestational age thresholds and the role of exome sequencing (ES). Interpretation is difficult because studies define FGR inconsistently,

From Isolated to Complex: Diagnostic Yield of Chromosomal Microarray and Exome Sequencing in Fetal Growth Restriction

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize the overall diagnostic yield of sequential chromosomal microarray (CMA) and exome sequencing (ES) across the phenotypic spectrum of fetal growth restriction (FGR). Methods A retrospective cohort of 320 consecutive FGR pregnancies presenting at ≥ 20 weeks to a tertiary fetal medicine unit (2020–2025).

Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa: Structural diversity and functional traits as key drivers of carbon storage

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...

Carbon sequestration strategies for climate resilience: Sorghum‐based innovations for sustainable agriculture in dryland regions

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change is intensifying heat, drought, and food insecurity, threatening dryland farming and carbon management worldwide. We reviewed research on sorghum, a drought‐adapted C4 crop, covering physiology, roots, biomass allocation, soil carbon, bioenergy, breeding, phenotyping, management, and policy.

Coping mechanisms in short stature youth

, 2012
Coping has been considered an important aspect when dealing with health related problems and challenges, such as chronic diseases. However coping mechanisms in children and adolescents with short stature have not yet been examined thoroughly. This thesis
