We developed a new climate-sensitive vegetation state-and-transition simulation
model (CV-STSM) to simulate future vegetation at a fine spatial grain commensurate
with the scales of human land-use decisions, and under the joint influences of changing
climate, site productivity, and disturbance. CV-STSM integrates outputs from four different
modeling systems. Successional changes in...

BACKGROUND: On the basis of the 2014 guidelines for hypertension therapy in the United States,
many eligible adults remain untreated. We projected the cost-effectiveness of treating
hypertension in U.S. adults according to the 2014 guidelines.
METHODS: We used the Cardiovascular Disease Policy Model to simulate drug-treatment and
monitoring costs, costs...

Biological invasions create complex ecological
and societal issues worldwide. Most of the
knowledge about invasions comes only from successful
invaders, but less is known about which processes
determine the differential success of invasions. In this
review, we develop a framework to identify the main
dimensions driving the success and failure...

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are undergoing clinical trials as anticancer agents, but some exhibit resistance mechanisms
linked to anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 functions, such as BH3-only protein silencing. HDAC inhibitors that reactivate BH3-only family
members might offer an improved therapeutic approach. We show here that a novel seleno-α-keto acid triggers global histone...

Mixia osmundae (Basidiomycota, Pucciniomycotina) represents a monotypic class containing
an unusual fern pathogen with incompletely understood biology. We sequenced and analyzed
the genome of M. osmundae, focusing on genes that may provide some insight into its
mode of pathogenicity and reproductive biology.
Mixia osmundae has the smallest plant pathogenic basidiomycete...

The aromatic carbon structure is a defining property of chars and is often expressed with the help of two
concepts: (i) aromaticity and (ii) degree of aromatic condensation. The varying extent of these two features
is assumed to largely determine the relatively high persistence of charred material in the environment...

Context:
Functional connectivity—the facilitation of individual movements among habitat patches—is essential for species’ persistence in fragmented landscapes. Evaluating functional connectivity is critical for predicting range shifts, developing conservation plans, and anticipating effects of disturbance, especially for species affected by climate change.
Objectives:
We examined whether simplifying forest structure influenced animal...

Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that...

BACKGROUND: Occupational exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF) is a
suspected risk factor for brain tumours, however the literature is inconsistent. Few studies have
assessed whether ELF in different time windows of exposure may be associated with specific
histologic types of brain tumours. This study examines the association...

The terrestrial biosphere sequesters up to a
third of annual anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions,
offsetting a substantial portion of greenhouse
gas forcing of the climate system. Although a number
of factors are responsible for this terrestrial carbon
sink, atmospheric nitrogen deposition contributes by
enhancing tree productivity and promoting carbon
storage...
