Attempted Self-Harm with Elemental Thallium Purchased Online: Case Report with Analytical ConfirmationNARA Subscribed
Introduction Thallium is a highly toxic metal, with most publications demonstrating poisoning from thallium salts. We report on a patient with elevated serum and urine thallium concentrations from an intentional ingestion of elemental thallium purchased from the internet for self-harm. Case Report The regional poison center was contacted about an 18-year-old man who ingested a fragment from a 100-gram bar reported to be elemen...
The effect of high-frequency rTMS over left DLPFC and fluid abilities on goal neglectNARA Subscribed
Goal neglect refers to when an aspect of task instructions is not utilised due to increased competition between goal representations, an attentional limit theoretically linked to working memory. In an attempt to alleviate goal neglect and to investigate the association between dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)-supported working memory and goal neglect, we used high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to...
Common, low-frequency, rare, and ultra-rare coding variants contribute to COVID-19 severityNARA Subscribed
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, common and rare variants from whole-exome sequencing data of about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting COVID-19 severity. First, variants were converted into separate sets of Boolean features, depending on the absence or the pr...
Taxonomic notes on the New Zealand flora: lectotypes in Polypodiaceae and BlechnaceaeNARA Subscribed
Notogrammitis (Polypodiaceae) is a medium‐sized genus of ferns in New Zealand with 11 indigenous species. Lectotypes are chosen here for the basionyms Asplenium angustifolium Jacq., Grammitis humilis Hombr. and G. rigida Hombr., but no type material has been found for Grammitis australis var. alpina S.Jones or G. australis var. villosa Hook.f., and the types for these names remain undesignated. In Blechnum , a lectotype is des...
Correcting common misconceptions to inspire conservation action in urban environmentsNARA Subscribed
Despite repeated calls to action, proposals for urban conservation are often met with surprise or scepticism. There remains a pervasive narrative in policy, practice, and the public psyche that urban environments, although useful for engaging people with nature or providing ecosystem services, are of little conservation value. We argue that the tendency to overlook the conservation value of urban environments stems from miscon...
Checklist of dicotyledons, gymnosperms, and pteridophytes naturalised or casual in New Zealand: Additional records 2004–06NARA Subscribed
New records of Naturalised and Casual plants are reported for the flora of New Zealand during the 3 yr period 2004–06. Six species are reported as fully naturalised and 162 taxa are considered to be new records of casual plants. To reflect the modes of establishment of weeds in the Casual category, and to enhance the information content of the new Casual records, we propose a new classification scheme that further subdivides t...
Restrictive mating by females on black grouse leksNARA Subscribed
In bird species with pair bonds, extra‐pair matings could allow females to choose genetically superior males. This is not needed in lekking species because female choice is not constrained by pairing opportunities. However, polyandry has been reported in most lekking species studied so far. Using 12 microsatellite loci, we determined the paternity of 135 broods of black grouse sampled between 2001 and 2005 (970 hatchlings and...
A molecular phylogeny for the New Zealand Blechnaceae ferns from analyses of chloroplast trn L‐ trn F DNA sequencesNARA Subscribed
The Blechnaceae is one of the most speciose fern families in New Zealand, with two genera represented: Blechnum and Doodia . We se‐quenced the chloroplast trn L‐ trn F locus for all of the Blechnaceae species indigenous to New Zealand, plus several non‐indigenous species. Although deeper relationships were not well resolved by phylogenetic analyses of these DNA sequences, several groupings of species were consistently recovere...
A comparison of the tropical montane pteridophyte floras of Mount Kinabalu, Borneo, and Parque Nacional Carrasco, BoliviaNARA Subscribed
Aim To compare the species richness, and taxonomic and life‐form composition of tropical montane pteridophyte floras on two well‐documented sites: Mount (Mt) Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo and Parque Nacional (PN) Carrasco, central Bolivia. Methods Using published lists, we compared the elevational distribution of overall species richness, specific pteridophyte families, and of life‐forms along both study sites. Additionally, we comp...
