The effects of stigma age on receptivity in Silene alba (Caryophyllaceae).
American-Eurasian journal of botany, 2002 Silene alba, a perennial, dioecious plant, produces flowers that open in the evening and can remain open and receptive to pollination for up to 5 d, though in hot and dry conditions the flowers will wilt during the day only to reopen night after night ...

Weathering the storm: Effect of climate change on acute stroke care and stroke rehabilitation
PM&R, EarlyView.Abstract Climate change has deleterious effects on stroke recovery, disproportionately affecting populations with increased stroke incidence. These effects start prior to the acute care hospitalization, precipitated by environmental etiologies and are sustained throughout the life course of stroke survivors.

Incidental pollination by passing animals: An overlooked mechanism?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The conservation of pollinators is essential for sustaining the ecosystem services of pollen transfer, which support crop production, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health. While primary pollinators have been the focus of most conservation efforts, subordinate or incidental pollinators have been largely overlooked.

Peptide signalling during the pollen tube journey and double fertilization.
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2015 Flowering seed plants (angiosperms) have evolved unique ways to protect their gametes from pathogen attack and from drying out. The female gametes (egg and central cell) are deeply embedded in the maternal tissues of the ovule inside the ovary, while the

Accounting for Friendlessness: Stigma and the Quest for an Honorable Self
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.How do people who identify as friendless make sense of their condition in a moment when friendship is extolled for the support and satisfaction it offers?

We argue that our interviewees were rarely at ease with their friendlessness and were at pains to recover an honorable ...
