Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of a surgical procedure (extended strip craniectomy with bilateral barrel staving) for treating isolated craniosynostosis of the sagittal suture in infants, specifically focusing on its impact on cranial shape without directly addressing forehead issues.
- Results showed significant improvements in aspects like bossing angle and cephalic index over a year, although the cranial shape did not entirely match that of healthy peers, indicating partial normalization but not complete correction.
- The research validates 3D photogrammetry as a useful noninvasive tool for assessing cranial changes post-surgery, suggesting potential for wider clinical applications in monitoring cranial morphology.
Evolutionary change within community members and shifts in species composition via species sorting contribute to community and trait dynamics. However, we do not understand when and how both processes contribute to community dynamics. Here, we estimated the contributions of species sorting and evolution over time (60 days) in bacterial communities of 24 species under selection by a ciliate predator.

Europe's Biodiversity and Forest Strategies for 2030 attempt to address this challenge. Together, they call for strict protection of 10% of land area, including all primary and old growth forests, increasing use of ecological forestry, and less reliance on monocultural plantations.
