DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4673
Abstract: Abstract Preservation of desert ecosystems is a worldwide conservation priority. Shrubs can play a key role in the structure of desert communities and can function as foundation species. Understanding desert shrub ecology is therefore an… read more here.

Wave stress and biotic facilitation drive community composition in a marginal hard‐bottom ecosystem
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2883
Abstract: Ecological patterns are inherently scale-dependent and driven by the interplay of abiotic gradients and biotic processes. Despite the fundamental importance of such gradients, there are many gaps in our understanding of how abiotic stress gradients… read more here.

Phylogenetic and functional constraints of plant facilitation rewiring
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology"
DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3961
Abstract: Abstract Facilitative interactions bind community species in intricate ecological networks, preserving species that would otherwise be lost. The traditional understanding of ecological networks as static components of biological communities overlooks the fact that species interactions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-022-06353-3
Abstract: Non-invasive theta burst stimulation (TBS) can elicit facilitatory or inhibitory changes in the central nervous system when applied intermittently (iTBS) or continuously (cTBS). Conversely, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can activate the muscles to send a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04559-x
Abstract: Plant reproduction is highly sensitive to stress from severe weather. While facilitation has been shown to buffer negative impacts along stress gradients, less is known about facilitating plant reproduction in drought periods. Because intensity and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-019-04301-9
Abstract: Effects of water source relations on the facilitation of nitrogen (N) acquisition between N2-fixing species (NFS) and neighbor species require further investigation, especially in water- and N-limited conditions. Plant water sources and leaf physiological parameters… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bpj.2016.11.1337
Abstract: An important regulatory mechanism of excitation-evoked Ca2+ influx is voltage-dependent, or pre-pulse, facilitation (VDF): a memory property of some CaV channels, whereby channel activation is enhanced following a pre-conditioning pulse of sufficient duration and amplitude.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2019.06.009
Abstract: Posterior thalamic pulvinar nuclei have been implicated in different aspects of spatial attention, but their exact role in humans remain unclear. Most neuropsychological studies of attention deficits after pulvinar lesion have concerned single patients or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cortex.2020.09.031
Abstract: Atypical sensory processing is now recognised as a key component of an autism diagnosis. The integration of multiple sensory inputs (multisensory integration (MSI)) is thought to be idiosyncratic in autistic individuals and may have cascading… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2021.113726
Abstract: An important model of respiratory motor plasticity is phrenic long-term facilitation (pLTF), a persistent increase in phrenic burst amplitude following acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH). Moderate AIH elicits pLTF by a serotonin-dependent mechanism known as the… read more here.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION Shoulder complaints have high re-occurrence rates and scapular control seems to be a major influencing factor in sub-acromial impingement syndromes (SIS). Scapular dyskinesia disrupts the scapulohumeral rhythm, altering biomechanical loads on the rotator cuff… read more here.
