Defaunation of tropical forests, particularly from unsustainable hunting, has diminished populations of key seed dispersers for many tree species, driving shifts in forest community composition toward small-fruited or wind-dispersed trees with low wood density. Such shifts can reduce aboveground biomass, prompting calls for overexploitation to be included in bioeconomic policy, but a synthesis of existing literature for wildlife impacts on carbon stores is lacking. We evaluated the role of wildlife in tropical forest tree recruitment and found that it was critical to tropical forest carbon dynamics.

Article Synopsis
  • Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare type of tumor that can occur in various body parts and is often linked to specific genetic fusions, with 10-30% of cases becoming metastatic.
  • A study involving DNA methylation analysis of 79 SFTs revealed distinct epigenetic changes linked to their primary sites, identifying key genes such as EGFR and TBX15 that showed differing levels of expression based on the tumor's location and genetic fusion type.
  • TBX15 emerged as a significant marker, with changes in its methylation and expression strongly correlating to the tumor's tissue of origin, suggesting it could help differentiate between new tumors and metastases without needing extensive genomic analysis.
