Mast seeding, the synchronous and highly variable production of seed crops by perennial plants, is a population-level phenomenon and has cascading effects in ecosystems. Mast seeding studies are typically conducted at the population/species level. Much less is known about synchrony in mast seeding between species because the necessary long-term data are rarely available.

Reactions of 3,5-CatNa with [LLnCl(THF)] (Ln = Dy, Y) ligated with the less bulky ligand L = {2,4,6-MeCH-NC(Me)CHC(Me)N-2,4,6-MeCH} afforded the mixed-ligand THF-containing complexes [LLn(μ-3,5-Cat)(THF)] (Ln = Dy (), Y ()). All new complexes were fully characterized, and the solid-state structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Methods: In this systematic review and component network meta-analysis (NMA), we searched multiple databases for published and unpublished randomised controlled trials (RCTs) investigating pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for ADHD in adults from database inception to Sept 6, 2023.
: Nutrimetabolomics may reveal novel insights into early metabolic alterations and the role of dietary exposures on prostate cancer (PCa) risk. We aimed to prospectively investigate the associations between plasma metabolite concentrations and PCa risk, including clinically relevant tumor subtypes. : We used a targeted and large-scale metabolomics approach to analyze plasma samples of 851 matched PCa case-control pairs from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.
