Biodegradable Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate)/Poly(lactic) Acid Mulch Film with Soy Waste Filler for Improved Biodegradation and Plant Growth

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
The study finds that mulch films made with poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate)/poly(lactic acid) and 10% soy waste degrade faster than those without soy. Plants grown with the soy‐containing films are 49% taller, suggesting that the soy acts as a biostimulant.

Extreme fire severity interacts with seed traits to moderate post‐fire species assemblages

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Climate change is globally pushing fire regimes to new extremes, with unprecedented large‐scale severe fires. Persistent soil seed banks are a key mechanism for plant species recovery after fires, but extreme fire severity may generate soil temperatures beyond thresholds seeds are adapted to.

Stomatal distribution and post‐fire recovery: Intra‐ and interspecific variation in plants of the pyrogenic Florida scrub

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Amphistomy, the presence of stomata on both leaf surfaces, can increase photosynthesis yet is uncommon across vascular plants. The relative infrequency of amphistomy is often attributed to high costs, such as transpirational water loss.

Direct and indirect effects of environmental factors, spatial constraints, and functional traits on shaping the plant diversity of montane forests

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Understanding the relative importance of the factors driving the patterns of biodiversity is a key research topic in community ecology and biogeography. However, the main drivers of plant species diversity in montane forests are still not clear.

The interplay among space, environment, and gene flow drives genetic differentiation in endemic Baja California Agave sobria subspecies

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Research on neutral and adaptive processes that lead to the divergence of species and populations is a crucial component in evolutionary and conservation genetics. Agave sobria is an endemic group of subspecies scattered on canyons along a latitudinal gradient and distinct environments of the Baja California Peninsula, Mexico.

Community‐engaged crime prevention through environmental design and reductions in violent and firearm crime

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the U.S., crime and violence are concentrated in cities that have lost industry and population due to economic disinvestment and structurally racist policies. Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers have called for community‐level approaches that reduce violence in these cities by improving unsafe physical environments, increasing ...

Chromosome 3q22.2‐q26.2 Interstitial Deletion in a Patient With Wisconsin Syndrome, Blepharophimosis‐Ptosis‐Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome, Dandy‐Walker Malformation, Pierre Robin Sequence, and Recurrent Infections

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wisconsin syndrome is a very rare genetic condition characterized by coarse facies, prominent nasal tip, bushy high arched/upsweeping eyebrows, and a full/everted lower lip. Deletion of chromosome 3q24q25 region is considered critical for its manifestation.

Artificial Intelligence Software Changes Rare Disease Testing Strategy in Real Time: An International Case Series Using Face2Gene

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic disorders commonly share features such as developmental delays, cognitive impairment, and behavioral challenges, yet many conditions also present unique dysmorphic features that distinguish them. Performing a thorough medical and family history and a detailed physical exam with attention to dysmorphic features is often the first step ...
