Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects more than 10% of adults worldwide and is associated with rising mortality and increasing demand for hemodialysis. Hemodialysis requires durable vascular access, with surgically created arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) being the preferred modality. However, up to 60% of AVFs fail to mature in time for clinical use, whereas others develop excessively high flow that can drive adverse c...
Who joins voluntary conservation programs? Socioenvironmental predictors of participation in tropical working landscapesNARA Subscribed
Voluntary conservation programs are increasingly used to align rural development with ecosystem protection within working landscapes, yet their effectiveness depends on the willingness and capacity of landowners to participate. To explore factors that influence participation, we investigated socioenvironmental characteristics of rural properties in a conservation program in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Using Bayesian modelin...
Functional diversity of Brazilian bees: revealing the unique patterns of the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Bees are essential for ecosystem functioning, pollinating many wild and crop plant species. Predicting which species are most vulnerable to global changes, and how their loss may impact ecosystems and human well-being, is critical. Comprehensive information on bee response and effect traits is fundamental to these assessments. However, the Raunkiærian shortfall—insufficient trait data—remains significant for bees, particularly...
