Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes — endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and dispersal agents (e.g., the main vectors moving seeds). We expected climate to be the mai...
Peripheral microRNA signature in genetic frontotemporal dementia—findings from the GENFI initiativeNARA Subscribed
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by significant clinical and genetic heterogeneity, with approximately 40% of cases linked to hereditary genetic mutations, including MAPT , GRN , and C9ORF72 . Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of cellular processes related to neurodegeneration and as potential biomarkers for FTD. However, their relevance in presymptomatic stag...
Understanding how physical transport mechanisms influence coral reef temperature dynamics is crucial for effective management. Typically, sea surface temperature (SST) is used to estimate coral heat stress, yet subsurface physical processes can significantly influence reef temperature dynamics and are imperative to consider in predictive efforts. Using observations and a 3D numerical model, we conducted a volume‐based temperat...
Global Patterns and Drivers of Seagrass Biomass, Net Primary Production and Meadow StructureNARA Subscribed
Aim We decipher global patterns in seagrass growth and structure to advance seagrass science, facilitate multidisciplinary research, and promote effective management strategies and policy development for seagrass habitats. Location: Global. Time period: 1975 to 2024. Major taxa studied: Seagrasses—marine angiosperms. Methods A global data set on seagrass total biomass, total net primary productivity (NPP), shoot density, and p...
