Article Abstract
Temporal autocorrelation in demographic processes is an important aspect of population dynamics, but a comprehensive examination of its effects on different life-history strategies is lacking. We use matrix population models from 454 plant and animal populations to simulate stochastic population growth rates (log λ ) under different temporal autocorrelations in demographic rates, using simulated and observed covariation among rates. We then test for differences in sensitivities, or changes of log λ to changes in autocorrelation among two major axes of life-history strategies, obtained from phylogenetically informed principal component analysis: the fast-slow and reproductive-strategy continua. Fast life histories exhibit highest sensitivities to simulated autocorrelation in demographic rates across reproductive strategies. Slow life histories are less sensitive to temporal autocorrelation, but their sensitivities increase among highly iteroparous species. We provide cross-taxonomic evidence that changes in the autocorrelation of environmental variation may affect a wide range of species, depending on complex interactions of life-history strategies.

Different classes of anesthetics can induce unconsciousness despite acting through distinct biological mechanisms. This raises the possibility that they produce a convergent effect on the dynamics or temporal evolution of neural population activity. To explore this, we analyzed intracortical electrophysiological recordings during infusions of propofol, ketamine, and dexmedetomidine, using a rigorous method to estimate dynamical stability.

The maturation of inhibitory neurons is crucial for regulating plasticity in developing brains. Previous work has suggested that the Hurst exponent, the measure of autocorrelation in time series, reflects inhibition, but empirical data supporting this link is sparse. Here, we demonstrate significant spatial correlations between the Hurst exponent and ex vivo parvalbumin inhibitory mRNA expression in human children and adults, as well as between the Hurst exponent and parvalbumin-positive cell counts in mice, across both sexes.

To address the pressure of emissions reduction in urban residential blocks (RBs), this study takes 99 micro-scale RBs in Hongqiao District, Tianjin as the objects, aiming to reveal the driving mechanism of built environmental factors (BEF) on residential blocks carbon emissions (RBCE) and explore planning strategies that balance carbon reduction and health benefits. By integrating spatial statistical analysis and high-precision machine learning models, the system has systematically revealed the spatio-temporal evolution laws, spatial differentiation characteristics and driving mechanisms of BEF on RBCE. Key findings include: (1) From 2021 to 2023, both the RBCE, residential blocks carbon emissions intensity (RBCEI), and average household carbon emissions (RBCE-AH) showed a "first rise then fall" fluctuation, with an overall 5.

The balance between supply and demand of ecosystem services in arid zones is crucial for regional sustainable development. Taking Xinjiang as the study area, we analyzed the spatial and temporal variations of the supply and demand of food production, habitat quality, carbon storage, soil conservation, water yield and greenfield leisure in relation to the intensity of human activities during 2000-2020 by using bivariate spatial autocorrelation method. The results showed that from 2000 to 2020, the six ecosystem services in the study area were in a state where their supply was far greater than demand (supply/demand ratio>1).

Background: Given the growing global burden of Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias (ADODs) and inequalities in its distribution, it is of great necessity to analyze the trends and cross-country inequalities in the burden of ADODs globally and in China from 1990 to 2021.
Methods: Estimates and 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) for incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of ADODs were obtained from the Global Burden of Diseases Study (GBD) 2021. We described the epidemiology of ADODs at global, regional, and national levels, conducting temporal trend analyses using estimated annual percentage change, joinpoint regression, and age-period-cohort model.
