In Search of Environmental Factors Associated With Global Differences in Birth Weight and BMI
Objective The “fetal origin of adult diseases hypothesis” encompasses the notion that intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) alters fetal development trajectories. Various neonatal metrics inform IUGR, but not all contributors to IUGR have an impact on development trajectories. Chronic IUGR (twins) and slowly varying IUGR (seasonal) have little to no effect on later life trajectories. Perhaps development trajectories may evolve through other mech…
Differences in human birth weight and corollary attributes as a result of temperature regime
Climate change will affect BW, but it cannot be assumed that other human attributes such as IQ will change because (i) BW, in mainly being sensitive to intra-uterine conditions in the last quarter of pregnancy, is a poor predictor of intra-uterine conditions as such and (ii) developmental plasticity may require post-natal stimuli to unfold
Local Participation in Natural Resource Monitoring
The monitoring of trends in the status of species or habitats is routine in developed countries, where it is funded by the state or large nongovernmental organizations and often involves large numbers of skilled amateur volunteers. Far less monitoring of natural resources takes place in developing countries, where state agencies have small budgets, there are fewer skilled professionals or amateurs, and socioeconomic conditions prevent development…
Concomitant Patterns in Avian and Mammalian Body Length Changes in Denmark
We gathered length data on 61 Danish breeding birds from the past 200 years, and related the pattern of change to present body mass and other ecological parameters. Body mass was the only parameter significantly correlated with the rate of change, and the emerging pattern in the rate of change followed the island rule. That is, smaller species have become larger and vice versa, while the mediumsized species remain essentially unchanged. The sugge…
Changes in Mammalian Body Length over 175 Years—Adaptations to a Fragmented Landscape
The potential consequences of anthropogenic habitat fragmentation on species diversity and extinction have drawn considerable attention in recent decades. In many cases, traditional island biogeography theory has been applied to explain the observed patterns. Here, we propose that habitat fragmentation as a selective force can be traced in mammalian body length changes. By exploring historical sources, we are able to show that the body length of …
Reunión de trabajo sobre la medición de la presión arterial
Como parte de la Iniciativa Panamericana sobre la Hipertensión Arterial, la Organización Panamericana de la Salud y el Instituto Nacional del Corazón, los Pulmones y la Sangre, uno de los Institutos Nacionales de Salud de los Estados Unidos de América, llevaron a cabo una reunión de trabajo para examinar los métodos de medición de la presión arterial (PA) empleados en estudios de prevalencia y ensayos clínicos sobre la hipertensión arterial. El o…
