Sleep disturbance in pediatric PTSD: current findings and future directions.
Many studies have provided strong evidence of a fundamental and complex role for sleep disturbances in adult posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Investigations of adult PTSD using subjective and objective measures document sleep architecture abnormalities and high prevalence of sleep disordered breathing, periodic limb movement disorder, nightmares, and insomnia. PTSD treatment methods do app...
متن کاملThe intermediate disturbance hypothesis applies to tropical forests, but disturbance contributes little to tree diversity.
The intermediate disturbance hypothesis (IDH) predicts local species diversity to be maximal at an intermediate level of disturbance. Developed to explain species maintenance and diversity patterns in species-rich ecosystems such as tropical forests, tests of IDH in tropical forest remain scarce, small-scale and contentious. We use an unprecedented large-scale dataset (2504 one-hectare plots an...
متن کاملVulnerability to stress-related sleep disturbance and hyperarousal.
STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine the presence of a hypothesized trait vulnerability to sleep disturbance and hyperarousal. DESIGN Polysomnographic assessment of sleep in response to stress during a first night in the laboratory and subsequent physiologic arousal. PARTICIPANTS One hundred and four individuals (46% men, mean age 40.4 +/- 12.9 years) drawn from a population-based sample. INTERV...
متن کاملEcological Conditions Favoring Budding in Colonial Organisms under Environmental Disturbance
Dispersal is a topic of great interest in ecology. Many organisms adopt one of two distinct dispersal tactics at reproduction: the production of small offspring that can disperse over long distances (such as seeds and spawned eggs), or budding. The latter is observed in some colonial organisms, such as clonal plants, corals and ants, in which (super)organisms split their body into components of...
متن کاملDetecting anthropogenic disturbance in tropical forests.
Tropical forests are beleaguered by an array of threats driven by different scales of anthropogenic perturbations, which vary in the degree to which they can be detected by remote sensing. The extent of different patterns of cryptic disturbance often far exceeds the total area deforested, as shown by two recent studies on selective logging in Amazonia. Here, we discuss different forms of distur...
