Association between restless legs syndrome and erectile dysfunction: a systematic review and meta-analysisNARA Subscribed
Objective To evaluate whether patients with RLS have increased odds of ED compared with non-RLS controls. Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis analyzing the odds of ED in patients with RLS. We included studies that: (i) evaluated adults with a diagnosis of RLS established by the pre-established criteria; (ii) included a control group without RLS; and (iii) evaluated outcomes related to the odds of ED in p...
Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
The Missing Global South in Climate Change Biology: Towards Equitable Knowledge Inclusion for Effective Global SolutionsNARA Subscribed
Over the last decades, climate change biology has become a central field in global science, yet knowledge production and its inclusion in global strategies remain profoundly unequal. Our bibliometric analysis of over 580,000 records shows that ~80% of author affiliations come from Global North institutions, meaning that research agendas, theoretical frameworks, and priorities are still largely shaped outside the regions with t...
Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder characterized by abnormal and highly synchronous activity of neuronal cells. This condition is often associated with neuronal hyperexcitability and metabolic imbalances in regions such as the neocortex and archicortex (hippocampus). Pharmacological treatment with antiepileptic drugs has been essential in most cases. However, some patients continue to experience seizures despite medication....
Aim Plant functional traits can influence interaction outcomes between nurse and target plants through a “functional trait match”, which occurs when the traits of nurse plants ameliorate their environment, and target plants possess traits that allow them to benefit from this ameliorated environment. We investigated how the traits of putative nurse species affect interaction outcomes across global drylands and determined the fu...
Land use change threatens global biodiversity and compromises ecosystem functions, including pollination and food production. Reduced taxonomic α‐diversity is often reported under land use change, yet the impacts could be different at larger spatial scales (i.e., γ‐diversity), either due to reduced β‐diversity amplifying diversity loss or increased β‐diversity dampening diversity loss. Additionally, studies often focus on taxo...
The Kelp Forest Challenge: A collaborative global movement to protect and restore 4 million hectares of kelp forestsNARA Subscribed
Marine kelp forests cover 1/3 of our world's coastlines, are heralded as a nature-based solution to address socio-environmental issues, connect hundreds of millions of people with the ocean, and support a rich web of biodiversity throughout our oceans. But they are increasingly threatened with some areas reporting over 90% declines in kelp forest cover in living memory. Despite their importance and the threats they face, kelp...
Coordination of hydraulic and functional traits in ten species of trees of the Sonoran DesertNARA Subscribed
Leave’s vein xylem and stomata hydraulic traits should be critically linked to modulating plant responses to drought in leaves of desert species, influencing traits at the whole-plant level and promoting adaptation. We tested for coordination among leaf vein xylem anatomical traits across different hierarchical orders (hydraulic vessel diameter, vein area, free veins per area, areolas per area, total free veins number, total a...
