First Mediterranean record and north‐eastern range extension of the African seahorse Hippocampus algiricus

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The African seahorse Hippocampus algiricus has been considered restricted to the eastern Atlantic coast of Africa, with occasional records in Macaronesian archipelagos. The species is currently classified as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

PanGraphRNA: An efficient and flexible bioinformatics platform for graph pangenome‐based RNA‐seq data analysis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
PanGraphRNA is an easy‐to‐use platform that improves RNA‐seq analysis by using graph pangenomes instead of a single reference genome. It increases read alignment accuracy, detects important genes missed by traditional methods, and works across major crops, helping researchers obtain more reliable transcriptome results for diverse plant research and ...

Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

Does Valuing Free Speech Affect Norms of Tolerance? Evidence From Individual Preferences

Kyklos, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid intensifying global debates over balancing free speech with protections against hate speech, this paper investigates whether individuals who value free speech exhibit greater racial tolerance. Unlike prior studies focusing on the institutional effects of free speech, this paper examines whether individuals who prioritize free speech hold ...

Pollinator efficiency, rather than bee decline, explains a shift to hummingbird pollination in tropical montane forests

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Hummingbird pollination is a hallmark of American plant diversity and has long been thought to evolve in tropical mountains due to declining bee activity. Using sister species of Costus specialized on bees (C. kuntzei) and hummingbirds (C. wilsonii), we show that this shift is not driven by reduced bee visitation with elevation, but by greater ...

Macroeconomic Effects of Public Investment in EMDEs: Nonlinear Effects of the Business Cycle, Fiscal Space, Capital Stock and Efficiency

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper examines the macroeconomic effects of public investment in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs). To this end the analysis develops a new measure of public investment shocks based on cyclically adjusted government investment.

Ibero‐Balearic plant disjunctions: genomic support for rapid and recurrent long‐distance colonizations of the endangered Diplotaxis ibicensis (Brassicaceae) despite no dispersal syndromes

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Genotyping‐by‐sequencing data reveal six well‐defined clades in the endangered Diplotaxis ibicensis, endemic to the western Mediterranean Basin and indicate rapid and recurrent long‐distance colonisations across the Balearic Islands and the eastern Iberian coast despite the absence of dispersal syndromes.

Impacts of reclamation approaches on plant establishment in an arid environment during copper mine revegetation

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Revegetation using native vegetation is a commonly used technique to reclaim landscapes degraded by mining activities. Revegetation efforts in the arid Southwestern United States face physical, geochemical, hydrological, and biological challenges unique to drylands.

Does Conflict Reshape the Military–FDI Nexus? Evidence From a Dynamic Panel Analysis

Review of International Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between military expenditure and foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in 61 low‐ and middle‐income countries over 1990–2018, with a focus on how this relationship is shaped by conflict dynamics and institutional contexts.

Comparative Impact of Active Versus Passive Surveillance on Hepatitis C Virus Testing Uptake, Diagnosis and Linkage to Care in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains a major global health challenge, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), where limited diagnostic access and weak surveillance hinder progress toward the World Health Organization's 2030 elimination targets.
