Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Non‐motor symptoms, especially autonomic dysfunction, are major contributors to disability and decreased quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite being common and having a wide range of clinical facets, exocrine gland dysfunction is still not well recognized and managed.

Warfare, Labor, and Urban Stress: Divergent Health Trajectories in Mongol‐Period Karakorum
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines major palaeopathological trends in Mongol‐period Karakorum and incorporates them into the existing body of research in order to deepen our understanding of health and survival, the impacts of conflict and violence on past populations, and the lived experiences of the city's diverse inhabitants within the broader socio ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

Trophic niche overlap in coralline algae- and coral-dominated rocky-bottom subtidal communities
Marine Pollution BulletinWe investigated trophic structures in rocky subtidal ecosystems transitioning from canopy-forming to barren states across coastlines with varying oceanographic conditions. We examined stable isotopes and functional traits of common invertebrate and fish taxa to understand the food-web consequences. We hypothesized that resource exploitation patterns of

Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores
Oikos, EarlyView.Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

When wolves aren't enough: revisiting trophic cascades in northern Wisconsin
Oikos, EarlyView.Elimination of top predators has allowed large herbivores to flourish in many terrestrial ecosystems, transforming food webs and ecosystem functions. Restoration of large predator communities is hoped to reverse negative effects of this trophic downgrading, but evidence for such effects is elusive.

Different demographic drivers of recovery in two adjacent populations of a long‐lived bird of prey
Oikos, EarlyView.Understanding the demographic mechanisms underlying population decline or recovery is critical for conservation and management, yet similar population trends may arise from very different underlying processes. Comparing populations of vulnerable species groups like long‐lived raptors in different environments can reveal how species respond to change ...

Diet seasonality and resource partitioning by large catfishes in the Madeira River, Brazil
Acta AmazonicaLarge catfishes form a diverse group with complex life histories, different habitat requirements and home range sizes, which may be related to several ecological aspects.

PLoS ONE, 2016 It is well recognized that assemblage structure of stream macroinvertebrates changes with alterations in catchment or local land use. Our objective was to understand how the trophic ecology of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages responds to land use ...

Urbanization and food transition in the Brazilian Amazon: From wild to domesticated meat
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Urbanization is expected to influence food transitions, resulting in a shift from wild foods to more domesticated foods. Concomitantly, food insecurity and urban demand for natural resources, including wildlife, are expected to increase overall, even when the per capita consumption is expected to decrease.
