Acoustic Indices Reveal Fundamental Differences in Daily Phenology of Tropical and Temperate Forest SoundscapesNARA Subscribed
Aim Forests support the majority of the planet's terrestrial biodiversity, and in recent years the characterisation of soundscapes has emerged as a powerful tool for understanding forest ecosystems, both in terms of ecology and for the purpose of conservation. But it is still poorly understood to what extent generalisations can be made about soundscapes in different parts of the world, and to what extent we should expect sound...
Molecular characterization of a biological sample, e.g., with omics approaches, is fundamental for the development and implementation of personalized and precision medicine approaches. In this context, quality assessment is one of the most critical aspects. Accurate performance and interpretation of omics techniques is based on consensus, harmonization, and standardization of protocols, procedures, data analysis and reference...
Tropical ecosystems contain the world's largest biodiversity of vascular plants. Yet, our understanding of tropical functional diversity and its contribution to global diversity patterns is constrained by data availability. This discrepancy underscores an urgent need to bridge data gaps by incorporating comprehensive tropical root data into global datasets. Here, we provide a database of tropical root characteristics. This new...
Tropical root responses to global changes: A synthesisNARA Subscribed
Tropical ecosystems face escalating global change. These shifts can disrupt tropical forests' carbon (C) balance and impact root dynamics. Since roots perform essential functions such as resource acquisition and tissue protection, root responses can inform about the strategies and vulnerabilities of ecosystems facing present and future global changes. However, root trait dynamics are poorly understood, especially in tropical e...
Leaf habit affects the distribution of drought sensitivity but not water transport efficiency in the tropicsNARA Subscribed
Considering the global intensification of aridity in tropical biomes due to climate change, we need to understand what shapes the distribution of drought sensitivity in tropical plants. We conducted a pantropical data synthesis representing 1117 species to test whether xylem‐specific hydraulic conductivity (K S ), water potential at leaf turgor loss (Ψ TLP ) and water potential at 50% loss of K S (Ψ P50 ) varied along climate...
Clinical impact of rare variants associated with inherited channelopathies: a 5-year updateNARA Subscribed
A proper interpretation of the pathogenicity of rare variants is crucial before clinical translation. Ongoing addition of new data may modify previous variant classifications; however, how often a reanalysis is necessary remains undefined. We aimed to extensively reanalyze rare variants associated with inherited channelopathies originally classified 5 years ago and its clinical impact. In 2016, rare variants identified through...
