Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract This study revisits the diachrony of the Latin neuter gender in early Ibero‐Romance. The fate of the Latin neuter is counted among the most long‐standing and yet the most controversial questions in Romance historical morphosyntax. While there has been a long‐held belief that neuter nouns merged into the masculine gender in late Latin after ...

Gender &History, EarlyView.Abstract Past studies of prostitution have mislabelled Mexican women as prostitutes when it is not clear that they had engaged in transactional sex. Here, we examine the history of prostitution between 1750 and 1865, detailing both legal frameworks and judicial evidence to address the reasons for the inflation of prostitution's presence in Mexico ...

Gender &History, EarlyView.Abstract This article investigates the ways in which late‐nineteenth‐century students at Northwestern University's Cumnock School of Oratory mobilised elocution training and parlour performance to foster mixed‐gender public discourse. I use student publications to reconstruct parlour meetings in which women and men adapted traditions of conversational ...

The Defence of Public Necessity
The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.This article challenges the idea that public necessity must be a complete defence to trespass liability. It identifies and distinguishes three distinct categories of public necessity: two afford justifications for interfering with person or property, whereas the third is better understood as an excuse.

Sperm Transfer Under Behavioral and Morphological Constraints in the Orb‐Web Spider Genus Argiope
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.The polygamous mating system of the orb‐web spider genus Argiope provides a model to study the evolution of sperm transfer under morphological and behavioral constraints. This helps us to understand how male and female behavioral and morphological reproductive traits influence sperm transfer.

Individual tree extraction through 3D promptable segmentation networks
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract The extraction of individual trees from three‐dimensional (3D) forest point clouds plays a pivotal role in forest inventory updates, forest resource management, growth and yield estimation of trees, etc. Existing end‐to‐end deep learning‐based methods for extracting individual trees typically rely on extracting instance‐sensitive features and ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Ungulate (deer) browsing threatens forest diversity and tree regeneration, but without efficient and reliable methods, we cannot monitor these impacts. Traditional methods mostly measure the size, density or growth rates of seedlings/saplings, all of which respond sensitively to local conditions, inflating variation and potential bias.
