Purpose Approximately half of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients attain a complete response to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). Thus, methods to predict and optimize NAT response are essential to improving patient outcomes. Methods Previously, mathematical models with a reaction term describing cell growth and death and a diffusion term describing cell invasion have accurately forecasted NAT response but have had limited...

Biogenic structural complexity is a key driver of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, yet its ecological and environmental determinants remain poorly understood across broad biogeographic scales. Here, we conducted standardized 90‐day field experiments at 16 coastal sites, spanning a 41‐degree latitudinal gradient, using naturally assembled marine fouling communities on settlement panels. We measured rugosity as our metric...

Purpose Disparities in gynecologic cancer clinical trial enrollment exist between Black and White patients; however, few examine racial differences in clinical trial enrollment predictors. We examined whether first-line clinical trial enrollment determinants differed between Black and White gynecologic cancer patients. Methods We used the National Cancer Database to identify Black and White gynecologic cancer (cervix, ovarian,...

Aim The role of ecological specialisation in shaping biogeographic and evolutionary patterns remains unresolved. To date, few studies have quantitatively examined consumer niche breadth at a global scale. We describe global biogeographic and diversification patterns of specialisation, measured using trophic and thermal niches, for a highly diverse assemblage of consumers: reef fishes. First, we investigated the confluence of s...

The motivations for incorporating nature into the design of cities have never been more compelling. Creating experiences with nature that occur every day (everyday nature) in cities could help reverse the fate of many threatened species and connect people with nature and living cultural traditions. However, this requires more than just urban greening; it involves ensuring daily doses of nature in a way that also supports nonhu...

Disentangling the roles of structural landscape factors and animal movement behaviour can present challenges for practitioners managing landscapes to maintain functional connectivity and achieve conservation goals. We used a landscape genetics approach to combine robust demographic, behavioural and genetic datasets with spatially explicit simulations to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic barriers (dams, culverts) and natura...
