DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2017.04.005
Abstract: Shared parasites can strongly influence the outcome of competition between congeneric, sympatric hosts, and thus host population dynamics. Parasite-mediated competition is commonly hypothesized as an important factor in biological invasion success; invasive species often experience… read more here.

DOI: 10.1104/pp.20.00165
Abstract: In the context of climate change, determining the physiological mechanisms of drought-induced mortality in woody plants and identifying thresholds of drought survivorship will improve forecasts of forest and agroecosystem die-off. Here, we tested whether continuous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1194/jlr.m076844
Abstract: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a secreted protein that targets LDL receptors (LDLRs) for degradation in liver. Blocking the interaction of PCSK9 with the LDLR potently reduces plasma LDL cholesterol levels and cardiovascular… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2020.00378
Abstract: African swine fever (ASF) has been spreading in the Eurasian continent for more than 10 years now. Although the course of ASF in domestic pigs and its negative economic impact on the pork industry are… read more here.

Endemic Lineages of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Are Associated With Reduced Chytridiomycosis-Induced Mortality in Amphibians: Evidence From a Meta-Analysis of Experimental Infection Studies

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.756686
Abstract: Emerging infectious wildlife diseases have caused devastating declines, particularly when pathogens have been introduced in naïve host populations. The outcome of disease emergence in any host population will be dictated by a series of factors… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.859028
Abstract: Meningeal worm, or Parelaphostrongylus tenuis (P. tenuis) is a nematode parasite that can invade the nervous system of small ruminant and camelid species such as alpaca, llama, goats and sheep. Limited reports exist on the… read more here.

Drought-Induced Mortality Is Related to Hydraulic Vulnerability Segmentation of Tree Species in a Savanna Ecosystem

DOI: 10.3390/f10080697
Abstract: Vulnerability segmentation (VS) has been widely suggested to protect stems and trunks from hydraulic failure during drought events. In many ecosystems, some species have been shown to be non-segmented (NS species). However, it is unclear… read more here.
