Social Plasticity Enhances Signal-Preference Codivergence.

AbstractThe social environment is often the most dynamic and fitness-relevant environment animals experience. Here we tested whether plasticity arising from variation in social environments can promote signal-preference divergence-a key prediction of recent speciation theory but one that has proven difficult to test in natural systems. Interactions in mixed social aggregations could reduce, create, or enhance signal-preference differences.

Tumor Lysis Syndrome following a Single Dose of Nivolumab for Relapsed Small-Cell Lung Cancer.

Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an oncologic emergency most frequently associated with initial treatment of hematologic malignancies and high-tumor burden solid tumors such as small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Most often, TLS is associated with cytotoxic chemotherapy. In the treatment of SCLC, a paradigm shift has taken place in which immunotherapy is often added to chemotherapy for extensive-stage disease in the frontline setting or as monotherapy in the relapsed setting.

Injury in yoga asana practice: Assessment of the risks.

Background: The risk of injury from modern yoga asana practice is poorly characterized in the scientific literature, but anecdotal reports in the lay literature and press have posed questions about the possibility of frequent, severe injuries.

Design: We performed a cross-sectional survey of yoga asana participants assessing their experience with yoga-related injury, using a voluntary convenience sample.

Results: A total of 2620 participants responded to our survey.

Effects of Yoga Asana Practice Approach on Types of Benefits Experienced.

Context: Modern science and the classic text on hatha yoga, Hatha Yoga Pradipika, report physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational benefits of yoga practice. While all have specific suggestions for how to practice, little research has been done to ascertain whether specific practice approaches impact the benefits experienced by practitioners.

Aims: Our aim was to relate the experience level of the practitioner, the context of practice approaches (time of day, duration of practice, frequency of practice, etc.

Nutrient leaching from mixed-species Florida residential landscapes.

Nutrient losses from residential lawns and landscapes can negatively impact water quality. Information about nutrient leaching from established residential landscapes containing a mixture of woody ornamental plants and turfgrass is limited. The objective of our study was to determine the effect of vegetation cover (turfgrass vs.

Nutrient Leaching during Establishment of Simulated Residential Landscapes.

Research evaluating nutrient losses during the establishment of plant material in mixed residential landscapes is limited. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of vegetative cover type, compost application, and tillage on nutrient losses during the establishment of landscape plants. Twenty-four small plots constructed with subsoil fill were planted with St.
