Several amphibian lineages epitomize the faunal biodiversity crises, with numerous reports of population declines and extinctions worldwide. Predicting how such lineages will cope with environmental changes is an urgent challenge for biologists. A promising framework for this involves mechanistic modeling, which integrates organismal ecophysiological features and ecological models as a means to establish causal and consequential relationships of species with their physical environment. Solid frameworks built for other tetrapods (e.g., lizards) have proved successful in this context, but its extension to amphibians requires care. First, the natural history of amphibians is distinct within tetrapods, for it includes a biphasic life cycle that undergoes major habitat transitions and changes in sensitivity to environmental factors. Second, the accumulated data on amphibian ecophysiology is not nearly as expressive, is heavily biased towards adult lifeforms of few non-tropical lineages, and overlook the importance of hydrothermal relationships. Thus, we argue that critical usage and improvement in the available data is essential for enhancing the power of mechanistic modeling from the physiological ecology of amphibians. We highlight the complexity of ecophysiological variables and the need for understanding the natural history of the group under study and indicate directions deemed crucial to attaining steady progress in this field.

Group 1

This study reports the natural history of unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and the risks involved in their endovascular management. A total of 242 patients at our center were enrolled in the study, which had retrospective and prospective components. We retrospectively assessed the morbidity and mortality related to endovascular management in 125 patients with unruptured AVMs. We prospectively assessed the natural history of unruptured AVMs in 117 patients with newly diagnosed unruptured AVMs; 48 of the patients had no history of seizure (Group 1), whereas 69 had a history of seizure from the lesion (Group 2). The retrospective group was also divided into patients with and without seizures. The cumulative rate of rupture of AVMs in Group 2 was less than 0.8% per year, while the rate was approximately sixfold higher (5.1% per year) in Group 1. The overall cumulative rate of rupture of AVMs was less than 3.0% per year. The overall rate of endovascular management-related morbidity and mortality was 10.6% in Group 2 and 11.9% in Group 1 at 30 days and was 25.9% and 13.6%, respectively, at one year. There was no independent predictor of a poor endovascular outcome. The likelihood of rupture of unruptured AVMs was exceedingly low among patients in Group 2 and was substantially higher among those in Group 1. The risk of morbidity and mortality related to endovascular management greatly exceeded the six-year risk of rupture among patients in Group 2. Endovascular management of an AVM should not be performed to eliminate or to improve seizure frequency.

Moral Stance

Abstract The natural history of our moral stance told here in this commentary reveals the close nexus of morality and basic social-cognitive capacities. Big mysteries about morality thus transform into smaller and more manageable ones. Here, I raise questions regarding the conceptual, ontogenetic, and evolutionary relations of the moral stance to the intentional and group stances and to shared intentionality.
