Case control studies of nonagenarians and centenarians provide evidence that long‐lived individuals do not
differ in the rate of disease associated variants compared to population controls. These results suggest that an enrichment
of novel...

BACKGROUND: Within-host microbial communities and interactions among microbes are increasingly recognized as
important factors influencing host health and pathogen transmission. The microbial community associated with a
host is indeed influenced...

Comparative analyses of canine and human soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are lacking. This study compared the
histological and immunohistochemical (labelling for desmin, smooth muscle actin [SMA], CD31, pancytokeratin,
S100 and CD34) appearance of 32...

Changes in soil C and N pools following wildfire are
quite varied, but there is little understanding of the
causes of the variation. We examined how the
legacies of prefire ecosystem structure may explain
the variation in soil trajectories during...

Negative impacts of CO₂-induced ocean acidification on marine organisms have
proven to be variable both among and within taxa. For fishes, inconsistency confounds our ability
to draw conclusions that apply across taxonomic groups and highlights...
