Cory’s Shearwater ( Calonectris borealis ), a migratory seabird from the Procellariidae family, is widely distributed across the Atlantic Ocean. It breeds on islands of Azores, Madeira, Canary, and Berlengas, and winters in coastal areas of South America and Africa. This species’ wide habitat range contributes to pathogen exchange across global regions. Plasmodium , a genus of apicomplexan parasites causing avian malaria, affe...
Regional Variation in Insularity Effects on Acorn Herbivory in European Oaks Challenges Predictions of Lower Herbivory on IslandsNARA Subscribed
Aim Ecological theory predicts lower herbivory on islands. However, most island‐mainland comparisons have focused on vegetative tissues, while reproductive structures remain understudied despite their direct influence on plant fitness and recruitment. This study investigates how insularity affects insect herbivory in oak ( Quercus ) acorns across multiple island‐mainland regions and explores the role of acorn traits (chemical...
Vasculogenic potential of adipose tissue derived stem cells from patients with chronic spinal cord injury and pressure injuriesNARA Subscribed
Limited vascularization and ischemia are major contributors to the chronicity of wounds, such as ulcers and traumatic injuries, which impose significant medical, social, and economic burdens. These challenges are particularly pronounced in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), a disabling condition associated with vascular dysfunction, infections, and impaired peripheral circulation, complicating the treatment of pressure in...
Cortical volumetry and longitudinal cognitive changes in Parkinson’s disease: insights from the COPPADIS cohortNARA Subscribed
Cognitive decline is a major non-motor symptom in Parkinson’s disease (PD), often linked to brain atrophy. This study examines the relationship between cortical atrophy and age groups in predicting cognitive decline in PD over five years. 188 PD patients from the COPPADIS cohort were stratified by age: young (30–55 years, N = 47), middle-aged (56–65 years, N = 59), and older adults (66–75 years, N = 82). Baseline cortical volu...
