Journal ArticleDOI
The island rule in large mammals: paleontology meets ecology
Pasquale Raia,Shai Meiri +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that dwarfism in large herbivores is an outcome of the fitness increase resulting from the acceleration of reproduction in low‐mortality environments, and Absolute body size may be only an indirect predictor of size evolution, with ecological interactions playing a major role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Darwinian shortfalls in biodiversity conservation.
José Alexandre Felizola Diniz-Filho,Rafael Loyola,Pasquale Raia,Arne Ø. Mooers,Luis Mauricio Bini +4 more
TL;DR: Overall, there are too few comprehensive phylogenies, large uncertainties in the estimation of divergence times, and, most critically, unknown evolutionary models linking phylogenies to relevant ecological traits and life history variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of cardiac and respiratory involvement in sarcoglycanopathies.
L. Politano,Vincenzo Nigro,L. Passamano,Vito R. Petretta,Comi Li,Serenella Papparella,Ge Nigro,P.F Rambaldi,Pasquale Raia,Antonella Pini,Marina Mora,Giugliano Ma,Maria Esposito,Giovanni Nigro +13 more
TL;DR: Signs of hypoxic myocardial damage occurred in beta-, gamma- and delta-sarcoglycanopathies, while initial signs of a dilated cardiomyopathy in gamma-and delta-Sarcogly canopathies were found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the cardiomyopathy in becker muscular dystrophy
Giovanni Nigro,Comi Li,Luisa Politano,Francesco Mario Limongelli,Vincenzo Nigro,Maria Luisa De Rimini,Giugliano Ma,Vito R. Petretta,L. Passamano,Brunella Restucci,Luciano Fattore,Konstantine Tebloev,Luigi Comi,Francesco De Luca,Pasquale Raia,Maria Esposito +15 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that cardiac dysfunction is a primary feature of Becker muscular dystrophy and that a real, dilated cardiomyopathy is the most frequent type of myocardial involvement after the age of 20.
Journal ArticleDOI
The island syndrome in lizards
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that large offspring are favoured on islands because of increased intra-specific aggression and cannibalism by adults, and hence select for larger hatchlings that will quickly grow to adult size.
