Urbanization transforms environments in ways that alter biological evolution. We examined whether urban environmental change drives parallel evolution by sampling 110,019 white clover plants from 6169 populations 160 cities globally. Plants were assayed for a Mendelian antiherbivore defense also affects tolerance to abiotic stressors. Urban-rural gradients associated with the of clines 47% throughout world. Variation strength was explained changes drought stress and vegetation cover varied...
Purpose: To examine the nature and frequency of ocular side effects due to systemic target therapy with BRAF MEK inhibitors as well immunotherapy cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibodies used in treatment cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). Design: While proven effective cancer treatment, have been associated likely their ability alter immune privilege eye. We conducted a retrospective chart review patients undergoing for CMM documented...
Summary Climate change is simultaneously increasing carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO 2 ]) and temperature. These factors could interact to influence plant physiology performance. Alternatively, increased [CO ] may offset costs associated with elevated temperatures. Furthermore, the interaction between temperature differentially affect populations from along an elevational gradient disrupt local adaptation. We conducted a multifactorial growth chamber experiment examine interactive effects...
Contemporary climate change is exposing plant populations to novel combinations of temperatures, drought stress, [CO2] and other abiotic biotic conditions. These changes are rapidly disrupting the evolutionary dynamics plants. Despite multifactorial nature change, most studies typically manipulate only one climatic factor. In this opinion piece, we seek explore how factors interact with each pressures alter processes. We first ramifications for key life history stages (germination, growth...
