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.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Brain size may be influenced by the cognitive demands of sociality (social brain hypothesis). We used microCT to compare CNS and brain volumes in social versus solitary huntsman and crab spiders. Social huntsman spiders had larger arcuate and mushroom bodies, while social crab spiders had larger visual neuropils.

De Stupro: First Insights on Rape and Its Prosecution in Maltese Courts (1701–10)
Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.Abstract This article constitutes a first in‐depth investigation of rape and the prosecution of this crime in early eighteenth‐century Malta. The research, which is based on sixteen rape accusations claimed at the secular courts in Malta between 1701 and 1710, has analysed cases categorized as ‘simple rape’, ‘violent rape’ and rape committed under the ...

Demand Estimation with Text and Image Data
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a demand estimation approach that leverages unstructured data to infer substitution patterns. Using pre‐trained deep learning models, we extract embeddings from product images and textual descriptions and incorporate them into a mixed logit demand model.

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.The rising demand for biomass highlights Populus deltoides as a productive woody species. A 6‐year study in Sumter County, SC, assessed the effects of irrigation, fertilization, and clonal variation on growth and productivity. Eight clones were studied under two irrigation levels (33 and 1500 kPa) and nutrient rates (high: up to 182 kg N ha−1; low: 50%

Addiction, EarlyView.Abstract Background and aims Mandated reduction of the nicotine content of cigarettes to reduce addictiveness to minimal levels has the potential to substantially reduce combusted cigarette use and promote public health. This paper examined the hypothesis that when people who smoke cigarettes are switched to very low nicotine content (VLNC) cigarettes ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Reviewing fast or slow: A theory of summary reversal in the judicial hierarchy
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Appellate courts with discretionary dockets have multiple ways to review lower courts. We develop a formal model that evaluates the trade‐offs between “full review”—which features full briefing, oral arguments, and signed opinions—versus “quick review,” where a higher court can summarily reverse a lower court. We show that having the option of

The First Archaeomagnetic Age at Tiwanaku and Implications for Dating Andean Metallurgical Furnaces
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents the first archaeomagnetic dating at Tiwanaku (Andean Altiplano). We compared the geomagnetic field values recorded by a metallurgical furnace against an updated SHAWQ2k‐SH global model and a regional intensity curve, both of which include, for the first time, high‐quality intensity data from the Southern Hemisphere.
