Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Taking Risks, With and Without Probabilities

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some hold that expected utility is too restrictive in the way it handles risk. Risk‐weighted expected utility is an alternative that allows decision‐makers to have a range of attitudes toward probabilistic risk. It holds that any attitude within this range is instrumentally rational, since these attitudes represent different, equally good ...

Are Competitive Public Service Exams Counter‐Productive? A Survey Experiment From Two East Asian States

Public Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Public service exams are extremely competitive in East Asia. Does a high entry bar impede people with high public service motivation (PSM) from taking the exam? If so, what kinds of people are interested in taking a difficult public service exam?

Improving End‐Use Quality Through Introducing Cysteines Into the Central Repeat Domain of High‐Molecular‐Weight Glutenin Subunit 1Dx2 in Bread Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), cysteine (Cys) residues within the N‐ and C‐termini of high‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunits (HMW‐GSs) critically influence dough quality. However, the functional significance of Cys residue in their central repeat domain (CRD) remains unclear.

Infrared Thermal Imaging Enhanced Selection Intensity for Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Soft Winter Wheat

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Development of Fusarium head blight (FHB)‐resistant winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties relies heavily on visual scoring for large‐scale field evaluations. However, visual assessment of FHB symptoms remains a bottleneck in FHB resistance breeding due to its inherent subjectivity. At a single‐spike scale under greenhouse conditions, a

Benthic fauna dynamics following large‐scale seagrass restoration in an exposed environment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Seagrass meadows are vital habitats, modifying hydrodynamic energy flows and sustaining biodiversity in the benthic environment. As such, there is a growing interest in using seagrass as a nature‐based solution for coastal adaptation. However, planting seagrass in hydrodynamically exposed environments is challenging, and the trajectories and timescales

Do Just Energy Transition Partnerships collide or converge with substantive investment law standards? Case studies from Indonesia and Vietnam

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, EarlyView.
Abstract Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs) are novel financing mechanisms that encourage coal‐dependent emerging economies to transition away from fossil fuels. JETPs aim to facilitate coal phaseout and transitions to renewable energy through private and public financing.

Caxton's Afterlife in Manuscript (c.1475‐c.1500)

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract At least thirty‐five manuscript copies of Caxton's prints have been found so far. This article explores the implications of such manuscript copies of Caxton's prints and, interrupting the linear history of the book, considers Caxton's appeal beyond print in manuscript.
