Purpose Non-invasive assessment of the volemic status is still an open and urgent clinical need. The pulse wave velocity in the venous compartment (vPWV) has recently been re-proposed as a possible indicator but still needs to be tested in different settings including hypovolemic conditions. Methods The present study aims at investigating the response of the vPWV to hypovolemic changes of different magnitude, as provided by th...

The Bering Land Bridge (BLB) last connected Eurasia and North America during the Late Pleistocene. Although the BLB would have enabled transfers of terrestrial biota in both directions, it also acted as an ecological filter whose permeability varied considerably over time. Here we explore the possible impacts of this ecological corridor on genetic diversity within, and connectivity among, populations of a once wide‐ranging gro...
