Dementia arises from multifactorial neurodegenerative processes, with growing evidence implicating blood–brain barrier dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and vascular injury as contributors to progressive brain tissue damage. Because decline in white matter microstructural integrity is a prominent feature of brain aging, biomarkers that capture this process may improve dementia risk stratification beyond conventional clinical fac...
Spatial Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity in Africa—A Case Study of the Cyperaceae (Poales)NARA Subscribed
Aim Understanding the mechanisms that influence the patterns of diversification and spatiotemporal distribution of biodiversity requires integrating species, functional and phylogenetic data. In this study, we assembled, generated and integrated trait data of native plants in Cyperaceae across Africa with their known occurrences and a pruned phylogeny to map the centres of diversity and diversification in Africa. Location Afri...
Global maps of soil temperatureNARA Subscribed
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1‐km 2 r...
The relationship between levels of dominance and species richness is highly contentious, especially in ant communities. The dominance‐impoverishment rule states that high levels of dominance only occur in species‐poor communities, but there appear to be many cases of high levels of dominance in highly diverse communities. The extent to which dominant species limit local richness through competitive exclusion remains unclear, b...
A global database of ant species abundancesNARA Subscribed
What forces structure ecological assemblages? A key limitation to general insights about assemblage structure is the availability of data that are collected at a small spatial grain (local assemblages) and a large spatial extent (global coverage). Here, we present published and unpublished data from 51 ,388 ant abundance and occurrence records of more than 2,693 species and 7,953 morphospecies from local assemblages collected...
