The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MetS) focuses on the assessment risk factors such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, central adiposity and elevated blood pressure. Evidence suggests that markers systemic inflammation may also be included in definition MetS play some role its pathogenesis. study was designed to evaluate low-grade status older adults with relation increased body fat tissue an attempt made new predictors for through analysis ROC Curve. Ninety-six middle-aged (69.2 ± 4.9)...
Abstract The wild relatives of cultivated apples would be an ideal source diversity for breeding new varieties, which could potentially grow in diverse habitats shaped by climate change. However, there is still a lack knowledge about the potential distribution these species. aim presented work was understand impacts change on and habitat fragmentation Caucasian crab apple ( Malus orientalis Uglitzk.) designation areas high interest according to climatic conditions. We used MaxEnt models...
The climate drives species distribution and genetic diversity; the latter defines adaptability of populations species. ongoing crisis induces tree decline in many regions, compromising mitigation potential forests. Scientific-based strategies for prioritizing forest are critical to managing impact change. Identifying future refugia, which locations naturally buffering negative change, may facilitate local conservation. In this work, we conducted populations' prioritization
Abstract Endemic species are more impacted by climate change than other taxa. However, assessing the vulnerability of endemics to these changes in some regions, such as Hyrcanian forest, is limited, despite its importance for biodiversity and ecosystem function. To address question expected habitat shifts under across ecoregion, we built an ensemble distribution models (SDM) two emission scenarios (RCP 4.5 RCP 8.5) 15 endemic woody identify potential priority conservation areas, also applied...
Abstract Scots pine is one of the most widely occurring pines, but future projections suggest a large reduction in its range, mostly at southern European limits. A significant part range located Caucasus, global hot-spot diversity. Pine forests are an important reservoir biodiversity and endemism this region. We explored demographic biogeographical processes that shaped genetic diversity Caucasus ecoregion probable distribution under different climate scenarios. found high variability...
Juniperus drupacea is a unique relict species found in the mountains of southern Greece, Turkey, and western Syria Lebanon. The aim this study was to describe natural range juniper by determining current locations its populations predict theoretical for based on current, past, future climatic conditions. We used data from literature, herbarium materials, our unpublished field notes (about 500 georeferenced points total) determine distribution J. (realized niche). To suitable conditions with...
Viscum album L. is a plant of great importance due to its influence on the host trees and, by extension, entire ecosystems. The species also significant humans-on one hand, because use in medicine, and other, growing threat it poses stability conifer stands. Therefore, important recognize future range three mistletoe subspecies (Viscum subsp. album, V. austriacum, abietis). Modelling potential these was performed using MAXENT software. Locations were collected from literature databases. A...
Abstract Predicting species‐level effects of climatic changes requires unraveling the factors affecting spatial genetic composition. However, disentangling relative contribution historical and contemporary drivers is challenging. By applying landscape genetics species distribution modeling, we investigated processes that shaped neutral structure Oriental beech ( Fagus orientalis ), aiming to assess potential risks involved due possible future in species. Using nuclear microsatellites,...
There is an ongoing debate about the potential of localized conservation efforts to address ecological challenges brought by global climate shifts. Among these challenges, biological invasion negatively affects ecosystem health and biodiversity. In this study, we assessed impact changes human activities on spread invasive species Broussonetia papyrifera in Pakistan's subtropical region. Jackknife analysis indicated that, among climatic variables studied, maximum temperature warmest month...
Abstract Pterocarya fraxinifolia , native to the southern Caucasus and adjacent areas, has been widely introduced in Europe. In this study, we investigate following: (1) How did its current distribution form? (2) What are past, current, future suitable habitats of P. ? (3) is best conservation approach? Ecological niche modeling was applied determine climatic demands project climatically areas during three periods (2070) time. Then, an integrated analysis fossil data performed. Massive...
Overweight and obesity in older adults increase the risk of a range comorbidities by sustaining chronic inflammation thus enhancing immunosenescence. This study aimed to assess whether excess body mass affected disproportion T lymphocytes. Therefore, was designed explain individuals numbers lymphocytes anthropometric indices immune profile expressed as CD4/CD8 ratio are diagnostically useful analysis One hundred three aged 73.6 ± 3.1 years were allocated normal (body index (BMI) 18.5–24.9...
Taxus baccata L. has a scattered distribution and the decline of yew woodlands is observed across entire species range.Passively protected populations in central northern part their are declining without human intervention.However, establishment new habitats that have been significantly transformed by humans.The following question need to be answered: why do yews find better environmental conditions strongly modified humans compared natural systems?The Quaternary history might key understand...
Pleistocene climatic changes affected the current distribution and genetic structure of alpine plants. Some refugial areas for high elevation species have been proposed in Alps, but whether they could survive on nunataks, is still controversial. Here, spatial Salix serpillifolia revealed by chloroplast (cpSSR) nuclear (nSSR) microsatellites was compared with MaxEnt-modelled geographic distributions under past (Last Glacial Maximum) climate conditions. Our results suggest that pattern...
The highest parts of the European mountain massifs are covered by subalpine and alpine vegetation, with rich flora containing many relic woody plants adapted to cold temperatures relatively short vegetation periods. In Ukrainian Carpathians, only several form environmental conditions suitable for high plants. aim study was detection centre biodiversity in East Carpathians Ukraine. We expected largest number species would occur Chornohora, most elevated chain country. To solve this problem,...
Changes in environmental factors, human impact, and interactions between them accelerate the extinction of woody species. Therefore, conservation programs are needed to protect endangered taxa. However, relationship climate, habitat fragmentation, anthropogenic activities their consequences still not well understood. In this work, we aimed evaluate impact climate change population density on Buxus hyrcana Pojark distribution range, as phenomenon fragmentation. Based species occurrence data...
Horse-chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.) is an endemic and relict species from the Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot a popular ornamental tree. Knowledge about evolutionary history of this remains scarce. Here, we ask what historical ecological factors shaped pattern genetic diversity differentiation species. We genotyped 717 individuals nine natural populations using microsatellite markers. The influence distance, topography habitat variables on spatial structure was tested within...
