Latitudinal patterns in stabilizing density dependence of forest communities

An analysis of tree survival data from forest sites worldwide shows that in the tropics, rare tree species experience stronger stabilizing density dependence than common species, wheras no correlation of stabilizing density dependence and abundance exists in the temperate zone.

Diurnal temperature range as a key predictor of plants’ elevation ranges globally

This study relates 88,000 elevation range sizes of vascular plants in 44 mountains to short-term and long-term temperature variation. The authors finding of decreasing elevation range sizes with greater diurnal temperature range supports a novel biodiversity hypothesis and indicates increased extinction risk of continental species.

Acetyl-DL-leucine in two individuals with REM sleep behavior disorder improves symptoms, reverses loss of striatal dopamine-transporter binding and stabilizes pathological metabolic brain pattern—case reports

Clinical trials with N-acetyl-L-leucine showed beneficial effects in lysosomal diseases. Here, the authors investigate a disease modifying effect of acetyl-DL-leucine in 2 patients with REM sleep behavior disorder, a prodrome of Parkinson’s disease, and report improvements in neurological symptoms and imaging biomarkers.

Mycorrhizal feedbacks influence global forest structure and diversity

A global study suggests that mycorrhizal fungi play a key role in determining forest diversity patterns and community structure, with mycorrhizal tree type systematically mediating the strength of conspecific negative density dependence.

Greenhouse-gas emissions from soils increased by earthworms

Earthworms play an essential part in determining the greenhouse-gas balance of soils worldwide but whether their activity moves soils towards being a net source or sink remains controversial. This Review of the overall effect of earthworms on the greenhouse-gas balance of soils suggests that although beneficial to fertility, earthworms tend to increase the net soil emissions of such gases.

Resource sharing is sufficient for the emergence of division of labour

Division of labour, where members of a group specialise on different tasks, is a central feature of many social organisms. Using a theoretical model, the authors demonstrate that division of labour can emerge spontaneously within a group of entirely identical individuals.

NASH limits anti-tumour surveillance in immunotherapy-treated HCC

In hepatocellular carcinoma driven by non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, aberrant T cell activation and impaired immune surveillance seem to make hepatocellular carcinoma less responsive to anti-PD1 or anti-PDL1 immunotherapy.

Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas

Analysis of changes in functional groups of species and potential drivers of environmental change for protected areas across the world’s major tropical regions reveals large variation between reserves that have been effective and those experiencing an erosion of biodiversity, and shows that environmental changes immediately outside reserves are nearly as important as those inside in determining their ecological fate.
