Global Change Biology, 2019 Most current research on land‐use intensification addresses its potential to either threaten biodiversity or to boost agricultural production. However, little is known about the simultaneous effects of intensification on biodiversity and yield.

Species richness change across spatial scales
Oikos, 2019 3 Humans have elevated global extinction rates and thus lowered global-scale species richness. 4 However, there is no a priori reason to expect that losses of global species richness should 5 always, or even often, trickle down to losses of species ...

Tree species richness increases ecosystem carbon storage in subtropical forests
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 Forest ecosystems are an integral component of the global carbon cycle as they take up and release large amounts of C over short time periods (C flux) or accumulate it over longer time periods (C stock).

Impacts of nitrogen addition on plant species richness and abundance: A global meta‐analysis
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018 Aim: Experimental nitrogen (N) addition (fertilization) studies are commonly used to quantify the impacts of increased N inputs on plant biodiversity. However, given that plant community responses can vary considerably among individual studies, there is ...

Spatial Pattern of Species Richness among Terrestrial Mammals in China
Diversity, 2020 We describe large-scale patterns of terrestrial mammal distribution in China by using geographical information system (GIS) spatial analysis. Mammal taxa, examined by species, family, and order, were binned into 10 km × 10 km grids to explore the ...

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

An African grassland responds similarly to long-term fertilization to the Park Grass experiment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 We compared the results of a long-term (65 years) experiment in a South African grassland with the world's longest-running ecological experiment, the Park Grass study at Rothamsted, U.K.

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...
