Ecological divergence in the silver moss Bryum argenteum: developmental, ontogenetic and life‐history trait variations across contrasting tropical ecosystems

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Ecotypes of the cosmopolitan moss Bryum argenteum differ markedly in growth, reproductive timing, and allocation across contrasting tropical ecosystems. These patterns reveal strong environment‐ and sex‐dependent life‐history strategies, highlighting the species as a model for studying ecological divergence in bryophytes.

Morals, Markets, and Medicine

Sociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Healthcare in the United States is defined by profit motives and economic inequality, yet medical providers and organizations are also guided by moral values such as a commitment to patient well‐being. How have sociologists made sense of this apparent contradiction?

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Paternal sleep deprivation and cardiac dysfunction in offspring: A perspective of myocardial hypertrophy

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The objective of this work is to assess the effects and potential process of paternal acute sleep deprivation on cardiac function in their offspring. Male and female C57BL/6N mice aged 8–9 weeks (n = 4–5 mice/group) were used. Male mice were selected to construct an acute sleep deprivation model using the modified multiple platform method ...
