Data of the article "The physiological cost of being hot: High thermal stress and disturbance decrease energy reserves in dragonflies in the wild" by Eduardo Ulises Castillo-Pérez (20869904)

“…These changes can strongly affect insects, particularly those experiencing high thermal stress (i.e, large differences between body and environmental temperature), as prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures can reduce their energetic reserves due to increased metabolic demands and physiological stress. We evaluated thermal stress in 16 insect dragonfly species during two sampling periods (2019 and 2022) in preserved and disturbed sites within a tropical dry forest in western Mexico. …”

Contrasting Size Dependence of Photochemical Lifetimes of Polypropylene and Expanded Polystyrene Microplastics in Surface Waters by Ariana Patterson (22764051)

“…Sunlight-driven photochemistry can dissolve buoyant microplastics, producing dissolved organic carbon (DOC). We hypothesized that plastic dissolution would increase linearly with increasing surface area (SA)-to-volume (V) ratio as plastics decrease in size. …”

Supplementary Material for: Longitudinal Decrease in Left Ventricular Size with Age: Impact on Mortality and Cardiovascular Hospitalization by figshare admin karger (2628495)

“…This study investigated clinical characteristics and outcomes associated with longitudinal decreases in LV size in this population. Methods: We analyzed echocardiographic data from 6,232 adults with normal baseline left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), with a mean interval of 4.8 years between baseline and follow-up echocardiograms. …”

The introduction of mutualisms into assembled communities increases their connectance and complexity while decreasing their richness. by Gui Araujo (22170819)

“…(C) Mutualism also promotes an increase in network connectance when introduced into assembled communities, while stopping mutualistic interactions from entering an assembled system slowly decreases it. (D) As a result, the introduction of mutualistic interactions promotes a growth in complexity in communities where it was once established as low, while stopping the introduction of further mutualistic interactions causes a slight decrease in complexity. …”

The injectable contraceptives depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and norethisterone enanthate substantially and differentially decrease testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin... by Chanel Avenant (409756)

“…<p dir="ltr">HIV acquisition risk with norethisterone (NET) enanthate (NET-EN) is reportedly less than for depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate intramuscular (DMPA-IM). We investigated the effects of these progestin-only injectable contraceptives on serum testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels, since these may play a role in sexual behavior and HIV acquisition. …”
