Plants can ‘cry for help’ in response to herbivory as well as anticipate herbivory by detecting specific environmental cues before damage occurs. But can plants ‘anticipate help?’ Building on the optimal defence and information transfer models of induced plant defence, we argue they can. We find literature support for key assumptions of the ‘anticipating help’ hypothesis, which proposes plants can (1) detect cues that signal r...
Purpose Antibiotic stewardship in critically ill pneumonia patients is crucial yet challenging, partly due to the limitations of noninvasive diagnostic tests. This study reports an antibiotic de-escalation pattern informed by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) results, incorporating quantitative cultures and multiplex PCR rapid diagnostic tests. Methods We analyzed data from SCRIPT, a single-center prospective cohort study of mechan...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
Seventy five percent of the world's food crops benefit from insect pollination. Hence, there has been increased interest in how global change drivers impact this critical ecosystem service. Because standardized data on crop pollination are rarely available, we are limited in our capacity to understand the variation in pollination benefits to crop yield, as well as to anticipate changes in this service, develop predictions, and...

Recent studies show that soil eukaryotic diversity is immense and dominated by micro‐organisms. However, it is unclear to what extent the processes that shape the distribution of diversity in plants and animals also apply to micro‐organisms. Major diversification events in multicellular organisms have often been attributed to long‐term climatic and geological processes, but the impact of such processes on protist diversity has...
