Neural substrates underlying stress susceptibility in virgin female mice confer stress-coping in mother mice
Disruptions in caregiving can lead to profound impacts on emotional and physical development in young across species, including humans. Here, we examine the divergent impact of stress on mouse caregiving neural circuitry in alloparental and maternal females.
Examining hospitalisation and mortality risk of SARS-COV-2 variant omicron sub-lineage BA.2
We found that the risks of outcomes indicating severe disease were lower or similar for those infected with BA.2 sub-lineage of Omicron, compared to BA.1, after controlling for confounding factors.
Canopy interception loss of rainfall: upscaling from flux towers to the globe
An innovative framework is developed to infer rainfall interception loss (Ei) from flux tower measurements and upscale to the globe. Globally, ~8.5% of land rainfall is recycled to the atmosphere as Ei, and this ratio is decreasing because rainfall is getting more intense and less frequent.
