Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus
Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Geographic distribution of seed dispersal studies by disperser guild. Summary Seed dispersal is critical for long‐term ecosystem resilience. However, excessive compartmentalisation of research into particular disperser guilds (e.g. birds) hampers our understanding of their relative contributions to overall seed dispersal, risking erroneous conclusions ...

Abstract Orthotopic allograft transplantation (OAT) is a significant approach to addressing organ failure. However, persistent immune responses to the allograft affect chronic rejection, which induces OAT vasculopathy (OATV) and organ failure. Porphyromonas gingivalis can infiltrate remote organs via the bloodstream, thereby intensifying the severity ...

Abstract Introduction Conservation physiology is a valuable tool for addressing the major challenges of tropical restoration programs. One key issue is the need for non‐destructive methods to study the functional responses of highly threatened species in order to minimize impacts on natural populations.

Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...
