High seed diversity and availability increase rodent community stability under human disturbance and climate variation

The relationship between diversity and stability is a focus in community ecology, but the relevant hypotheses have not been rigorously tested at trophic and network levels due to a lack of long-term ...

Common Genetic Variation Indicates Separate Causes for Periventricular and Deep White Matter Hyperintensities

Periventricular white matter hyperintensities (WMH; PVWMH) and deep WMH (DWMH) are regional classifications of WMH and reflect proposed differences in cause. In the first study, to date, we undertook ...

Use of genetic variation to separate the effects of early and later life adiposity on disease risk: mendelian randomisation study

Objective To evaluate whether body size in early life has an independent effect on risk of disease in later life or whether its influence is mediated by body size in adulthood. Design Two sample ...
