What makes a long tail short? Testing Allen's rule in the toque macaques of Sri Lanka
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23113
Abstract: Allen's rule (1877) predicts ecogeographical anatomical variation in appendage proportions as a function of body temperature regulation. This phenomenon has been tested in a variety of animal species. In macaques, relative tail length (RTL) is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/aps3.11474
Abstract: Abstract Premise Seed recruitment niches along estuarine elevation gradients are seldom experimentally field‐tested under tidal regimes of the Pacific Northwest of North America. Addressing this knowledge gap is important to better understand estuary restoration and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/bem.22425
Abstract: Mounting evidence suggests enhanced blood pressure (BP) variability (BPV) independent role in cardiovascular (CV) damage. The goal was to estimate the effect of the carotid baroreceptor (CB) magnetic stimulation on sudden high BP elevation. Mean… read more here.

Thyroid stimulating hormone elevation as a predictor of long‐term mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Clinical Cardiology"
DOI: 10.1002/clc.23062
Abstract: Hypothyroidism has been known to be associated with hyperlipidemia, endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Elevation of thyroid‐stimulation hormone (TSH) is a gold standard to detect these conditions. However, no large studies have investigated the association between… read more here.

Using latent class analysis to identify clinical features of patients with occlusive myocardial infarction: Preangiogram prediction remains difficult

DOI: 10.1002/clc.23755
Abstract: Treatment decisions in myocardial infarction (MI) are currently stratified by ST elevation (ST‐elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI]) or lack of ST elevation (non‐ST elevation myocardial infarction [NSTEMI]) on the electrocardiogram. This arose from the assumption that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7341
Abstract: Abstract Aim Anticipating and mitigating the impacts of climate change on species diversity in montane ecosystems requires a mechanistic understanding of drivers of current patterns of diversity. We documented the shape of elevational gradients in… read more here.

Environmental heterogeneity shapes physiological traits in tropical direct‐developing frogs
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7521
Abstract: Abstract Tropical ectotherm species tend to have narrower physiological limits than species from temperate areas. As a consequence, tropical species are considered highly vulnerable to climate change since minor temperature increases can push them beyond… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9012
Abstract: Abstract Heterogeneity in riverine habitats acts as a template for species evolution that influences river communities at different spatio‐temporal scales. Although birds are conspicuous elements of these communities, the roles of phylogeny, functional traits, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9135
Abstract: Abstract β‐Diversity, commonly defined as the compositional variation among localities that links local diversity (α‐diversity) and regional diversity (γ‐diversity), can arise from two different ecological phenomena, namely the spatial species turnover (i.e., species replacement) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9349
Abstract: Abstract Critical thermal limits (CTmax and CTmin) decrease with elevation, with greater change in CTmin, and the risk to suffer heat and cold stress increasing at the gradient ends. A central prediction is that populations… read more here.
