species on palms - integrative taxonomic approach for species boundaries delimitation in the genus , with the description of .

The application of traditional morphological and ecological species concepts to closely related, asexual fungal taxa is challenging due to the lack of distinctive morphological characters and frequent cosmopolitan and plurivorous behaviour. As a result, multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) has become a powerful and widely used tool to recognise and delimit independent evolutionary lineages (IEL) in fungi. However, MLSA can mask discordances in individual gene trees and lead to misinterpretation of speciation events.

Symptom burden after acute pancreatitis and its correlation with exocrine pancreatic function: A multicenter prospective study.

Background And Aims: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and weight loss develop during and after acute pancreatitis (AP), but remain understudied. In this prospective, multicenter study, we aim to assess GI symptom burden and weight loss and their correlation with exocrine function up to 12-mo post-AP.

Methods: GI symptom burden, anthropometrics, and exocrine pancreatic function were systematically measured in adults (≥18 years) with AP at predefined intervals: hospitalization (enrollment), 3-months (3-mo), and 12-mo post-AP.

An Assessment of Help Me Grow Western New York's Progress Toward Strengthening Early Childhood Systems.

Healthy child development is a key driver for better health and well-being throughout a person's life, and the early years set that important foundation. Early childhood development programs play a critical role in mitigating risks to the cognitive, social, behavioral, and physical development of children. Increasingly, there is recognition that early intervention to support child development requires more than separate programs and services.

Incidence and effects of anomalies and hybridization on Alabama freshwater fish index of biotic integrity results.

The index of biotic integrity (IBI) is an effective multi-metric tool for assessing biological integrity of aquatic ecosystems and regulating water quality based on fish community surveys. Percentages of individuals with deformity, eroded fin, lesion, and tumor (DELT) anomalies are used in IBIs as a measure of fish health, while the percentage of hybrids reflects changes in reproductive isolation. When rare, these are combined into a joint '% DELT + hybrids' metric.
