We examined the interactive influence of hypoxia and exercise, and hypercapnia and exercise, on regional cerebral perfusion and sympathetic activation. Twenty healthy young adults (seven women) completed study trials including (1) rest in normoxia ( : ∼96%, : ∼36 mmHg), normocapnic hypoxia ( : ∼84%, : ∼36 mmHg), and normoxic hypercapnia ( : ∼98%, : ∼46 mmHg) and (2) unilateral rhythmic handgrip exercise (45% of maximal voluntary contraction at 1 Hz for 3 min) under the same gas conditions. Based on the exercising arm, blood flow in the contralateral internal carotid (ICA) and ipsilateral vertebral (VA) arteries, anterior and posterior cerebral O delivery ( ), and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) were measured in each trial.

Article Synopsis
- Cacao production is heavily concentrated in Africa, with the continent exporting 68.4% of the world's cacao, which has led to significant deforestation, particularly in Ghana and Ivory Coast.
- Bats play a crucial role in these ecosystems by controlling pests, but their communities have not been studied in relation to land cover and cacao plantations in Africa until now.
- The study found different bat guilds responded differently to habitat types, with insectivorous bats thriving in natural habitats while frugivorous and nectarivorous bats benefited from a mix of natural and anthropogenic environments, leading to proposed management strategies to enhance bat diversity in cacao landscapes.
Article Synopsis
- Birds in tropical environments have varied life cycle timings due to consistent daylight hours, which have been under-researched in phenology studies.
- A study in Nigeria and Cameroon focused on common bulbuls, tracking their breeding and moult over a year while also examining local fruit and arthropod populations.
- Findings revealed that moult and breeding patterns differed significantly between the two sites, highlighting the influence of environmental factors like precipitation and resource availability on bird life cycles, which is crucial for conservation efforts.
