Climate change is shifting the timing of organismal life-history events. Although consequential food-web mismatches can emerge if predators and prey shift at different rates, research on phenological shifts has traditionally focused on single trophic levels. Here, we analysed >2000 long-term, monthly time series of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish abundance or biomass for the San Francisco, Chesapeake, and Massachusetts bays.

This randomized trial tested if adding a popliteal plexus block to a continuous femoral nerve block decreases postoperative opioid requirement.
Methods: We included 66 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
Article Synopsis
- The Linearbandkeramik (LBK) Neolithic communities were pioneers in spreading agriculture across Europe and this study showcases genetic data from 250 individuals to understand their ancestry.
- The findings reveal a notable difference in ancestry, with eastern LBK sites having a higher percentage of western hunter-gatherer genetics compared to western sites, indicating separate genetic paths for these groups.
- Additionally, the research suggests a patrilocal social structure, featuring more genetic connections among males within sites, and points out that the massacre at Asparn-Schletz likely involved individuals from a large population rather than a small community.
The National Fatality Review Case Reporting System (NFR-CRS) is a web-based data collection tool for child death review and fetal and infant mortality review teams. The NFR-CRS captures information from the multidisciplinary review, including the social and community risk factors that may have impacted the death. The NFR-CRS is a nimble data system that has evolved throughout the past 20 years.

FIMR helps communities to understand and change systems that contribute to racial disparities in birth outcomes. FIMR equally values the medical and social services delivery records and the personal narratives of families who have suffered a fetal or infant loss when creating the de-identified case summaries to be reviewed by teams.
