Plant phenological dynamics have been well studied in relation to abiotic conditions and climate change, but comparatively poorly studied in relation to herbivory. In contrast, plant abundance dynamics have been well studied in relation to abiotic conditions and herbivory, but poorly studied in relation to phenology. Consequently, the contribution of herbivory to plant phenological dynamics and therefrom to plant abundance dynamics remains obscure.

- The study aimed to create a predictive tool to determine which patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and subdural hematoma (SDH) may need neurosurgical intervention, as current methods are unreliable and lead to unnecessary treatments.
- Conducted across six trauma centers, the research analyzed 1,333 patients admitted between 2016 and 2020, using variables like hematoma thickness and Glasgow Coma Scale scores to inform predictions.
- Results showed a neurosurgical intervention rate of 8.8%, with key factors identified for predicting surgical need while maintaining a sensitivity of 100%.
Phenotypic and genomic diversity in Arabidopsis thaliana may be associated with adaptation along its wide elevational range, but it is unclear whether elevational clines are consistent among different mountain ranges. We took a multi-regional view of selection associated with elevation. In a diverse panel of ecotypes, we measured plant traits under alpine stressors (low CO partial pressure, high light, and night freezing) and conducted genome-wide association studies.

Telehealth is an established approach to improve access to health care expertise using remote consultation; however, the prevalence of use of telehealth in trauma (teletrauma) across the US is not known.
Objective: To examine the prevalence of, trends in, and factors associated with teletrauma use and adoption among US emergency departments (EDs).
Article Synopsis
- * In September 2023, researchers detected a significant seismic signal from East Greenland that corresponded to a rock-ice avalanche leading to a tsunami in Dickson Fjord.
- * The study reveals that the tsunami transformed into a 7-meter-high long-duration seiche, demonstrating the interplay between glacial melting and geological hazards, emphasizing the dangerous effects of climate change on these environments.
