Having a suite of pre-defined biophysical regions at a variety of scales that correspond to differences in plant productivity and phenology would allow analysts to select a set of analysis units at the scale needed. In other cases, environmental or social responses may be hypothesized to be related to differences in plant dynamics. One may compare the discrimination in such data that biophysical regions at difference scales provide to determine which best distinguishes the responses in question, such that like responses fall within the same regions to the degree possible. If those relationships are significant, the responses may then be extrapolated based on the biophysical regions. I defined hierarchical biophysical regions based on plant productivity and phenology by clustering global 0.083° Normalized Difference Vegetation Indices over a 10-year period. Agglomerative average-linkage distances based on squared error between clusters was conducted using an iterative sampling approach to merge more than 2 million clusters into fewer and fewer clusters based on NDVI greenness profiles comprised of 240 values over 10 yrs, until all cells were in a single cluster. Greater and greater differences in greenness profiles were ignored at higher levels of the hierarchy. Using a difference increment of 0.1, 253 non-duplicative sets of clusters were created, and 107 of those were included in animations that may be used to explore differences in global plant dynamics. Differences in clusters were quantified based on comparing the focal set of cluster results with 10 other cluster sets. Analysts may use the hierarchical clusters to improve the alignment of their parameter sets that inform plant growth and other dynamics with real-world plant dynamics.

Here, I investigate the evolution of wing allometries in the Schizophora, a group of higher Diptera that radiated about 65 million years ago, by studying static allometries in five species using multivariate approaches. Despite the vast ecological diversity observed in contemporary members of the Schizophora and independent evolutionary histories throughout most of the Cenozoic, size-related changes represent a major contributor to overall variation in wing shape, both within and among species. Static allometries differ between species and sexes, yet multivariate allometries are correlated across species, suggesting a shared developmental programme underlying size-dependent phenotypic plasticity. Static allometries within species also correlate with evolutionary divergence across 33 different families (belonging to 11 of 13 superfamilies) of the Schizophora. This again points towards a general developmental, genetic or evolutionary mechanism that canalizes or maintains the covariation between shape and size in spite of rapid ecological and morphological diversification during the Cenozoic. I discuss the putative roles of developmental constraints and natural selection in the evolution of wing allometry in the Schizophora. © 2020 The Authors.

Reforestation and deforestation have been critical aspects of LUCC over the past two centuries and are widely studied for their potential to perturb the global carbon cycle. More recently, there has been keen interest in understanding the extent to which reforestation affects terrestrial energy cycling and thus surface temperature directly by altering surface physical properties (e.g., albedo and emissivity) and land-atmosphere energy exchange. The impacts of reforestation on land surface temperature and their mechanisms are relatively well understood in tropical and boreal climates, but the effects of reforestation on warming and/or cooling in temperate zones are less certain. This study is designed to elucidate the biophysical mechanisms that link land cover and surface temperature in temperate ecosystems. To achieve this goal, we used data from six pon.

At the terminal end of this locus lies miR-1253, a brain-enriched microRNA that regulates bone morphogenic proteins during cerebellar development. We hypothesized miR-1253 confers novel tumor-suppressive properties in medulloblastoma. Using two different cohorts of medulloblastoma samples, we first studied the expression and methylation profiles of miR-1253. We then explored the anti-tumorigenic properties of miR-1253 in parallel with a biochemical analysis of apoptosis and proliferation, and isolation of oncogenic targets using high-throughput screening. Deregulation of miR-1253 expression was noted, both in medulloblastoma clinical samples and cell lines, by epigenetic silencing via hypermethylation; specific de-methylation of miR-1253 not only resulted in rapid recovery of expression but also a sharp decline in tumor cell proliferation and target gene expression. Expression restoration also led to a reduction in tumor cell virulence, concomitant with activation of apoptotic pathways, cell cycle arrest, and reduction of markers of proliferation. We identified two oncogenic targets of miR-1253, CDK6 and CD276, whose silencing replicated the negative trophic effects of miR-1253. These data reveal novel tumor-suppressive properties for miR-1253, i.e. 1) loss of expression via epigenetic silencing, 2) negative trophic effects on tumor aggressiveness, and 3) downregulation of oncogenic targets.

Light availability is the most limiting environmental factor in tropical wet forest succession; by contrast, water availability is predicted to strongly influence tropical dry forest (TDF) successional dynamics. While mechanisms underlying TDF successional trajectories are not well understood, observational studies have demonstrated that TDF communities transition from being dominated by species with conservative traits to species with acquisitive traits, the opposite of tropical wet forest. Determining how functional traits predict TDF tree species' responses to changing environmental conditions could elucidate mechanisms underlying tree performance during TDF succession. We implemented a 6-hectare restoration experiment on a degraded Vertisol in Costa Rica to determine (1) how TDF tree species with different resource-use strategies performed along a successional gradient; and (2) hothan resource-use strategies defined by leaf and stem traits such as specific leaf area. Moreover, ecophysiological traits related to water-use had a stronger influence on seedling performance in the cleared, early-successional treatment, indicating that the influence of microclimatic conditions on tree survival and growth shifts predictably during TDF succession. Our findings suggest that ecophysiological traits should be explicitly considered to understand shifts in TDF functional composition during succession and that using these traits to design species mixes could greatly improve TDF restoration outcomes.

Holstein Friesian (12) cows previously synchronized with CIDR underwent Doppler ultrasound after administrating of FSH daily for 4 days in 8 injections started on day 10 of the second ovulation (day -5). Estradiol (E2), progesterone (P4), and nitric oxide (NOMs) were measured. During the follicular phase, follicle area and antrum area of the second cycle reached maximum value on the day of ovulation compared to that in the first cycle, while during the luteal phase both showed a pattern of increase and decrease. The luteal area and total colored area increased till day 10 in the first and second cycle. The first cycle ipsilateral ovarian artery (Ov.A) had higher pulsatility (PI) (p = .001), resistance (RI) (p = .001), and peak velocity (PSV) (p = .009), and lower end diastolic (EDV) (p = .003) compared to the second cycle. The increased ipsilateral Ov.A PSV (p = .009), accompanied by lower EDV. The first cycle ipsilateral middle uterine artery (MUA) had higher PI (p = .001) and RI (p = .001), with lower PSV (p = .001) and EDV (p = .001).It was concluded that blood flow of ovarian and middle uterine arteries changed after the end of super stimulation as the increased ipsilateral Ov. A and MUA PSVs accompanied by lower EDV and both Doppler indices that reflect the amount of ovarian and uterine blood flow waveform. This article is protected by copyright.

BACKGROUND Job crafting is an important organizational variable for medical institutions. Although Japanese and Spanish versions of the JCS are available, this scale has not been validated in Chinese nurses. METHODS A convenience sample of 2095 registered hospital nurses was recruited from 25 provinces in mainland China from June 2019 to July 2019. Descriptive analyses were performed. Reliability and correlation coefficient analyses, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analyses of data collected using the Chinese job crafting scale (C-JCS) were also calculated. FINDINGS The C-JCS has good validity and reliability. The goodness-of-fit indices for confirmatory factor analysis were acceptable (CFI = 0.933, NFI = 0.927, TLI = 0.920, IFI = 0.933). The total scale Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.920, and the coefficients for each dimension of this scale were between 0.804 and 0.894. CONCLUSION The C-JCS has good reliability and validity, which supports its use as an effective tool to measure the working level of job crafting among nurses in public hospitals in China. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSE MANAGEMENT Nursing managers may use reliable and effective tools, including the C-JCS, to determine the level of job crafting at their institutions and to develop effective interventions to improve it.
