Although biologists have suspected that cold-adapted stenotherms are especially susceptible to climate change-induced extinction, our data provide a mechanistic basis for understanding and quantitatively predicting this elevated vulnerability.
Importantly, recent work from one of our labs indicates that a specific susceptibility genotype of FKBP5 confers elevated vulnerability to depression in young adults exposed to earlier critical life events while protective effects ensue for those with few or no such life events [ 68].
The U.S. EPA also referred to the concept of increased vulnerability to pollution-related effects, as distinct from susceptibility, because of factors including socioeconomic status or experiencing "particularly elevated exposure levels" (U.S. EPA 2004b).
High population growth rates and poverty are likely to elevate the vulnerability of many coastal communities in the Pacific region to climate change.
Several researches have implied that AC does not elevate plaque vulnerability, which seems more ascribable to a large lipid pool, thin fibrous cap, and intensity of local inflammation [ 7, 53].
In a system with predators, impacts on swim performance may be felt at a lower level of infection when temperatures are elevated, increasing the vulnerability of fish to predation.
Retweets might naturally ensure that vulnerability disclosures get elevated within the information security community, but the problem with this approach is that it favors vulnerabilities that are interesting.
Elevated iron status may increase vulnerability to bacterial, protozoal, and viral infections.
The present study further supports elevated REM density as putative vulnerability marker for affective disorders.
The increased dopamine uptake is able to elevate the unique vulnerability of dopamine neurons in PD.
