Genomics‐informed management of ex situ populations

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) manages insurance populations for hundreds of species through its EAZA ex situ programs (EEPs). EEPs help safeguard against extinction in the wild and provide source populations for genetic rescue programs.

L2 Chinese Grammatical Acquisition and Processing: A Substantive and Methodological Review

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a systematic review of 92 empirical studies on Chinese as a second language (CSL) in grammatical processing and development, synthesizing their substantive foci and methodological characteristics. The results reveal consistent scholarly attention to cross‐linguistic topics, with less focus on features that are distinctively

Does the Adoption of Improved Cassava Varieties Boost Productivity in Ghana? The Role of Technology, Management, and Structural Gaps

World Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural development initiatives in sub‐Saharan Africa have emphasized improved crop varieties as a pathway to food security, resilience, and rural poverty reduction. However, empirical evidence often focuses narrowly on plot‐level outcomes and overlooks whole‐farm effects and the substantial heterogeneity in farmers' management practices,

From Indicator to Prediction: Five Decades of Biochemical Oxygen Demand Research in Tropical Freshwaters

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) remains a core indicator of organic pollution in freshwater monitoring, but its role in water policy and practice is changing as water‐quality assessment moves toward predictive, integrative, and decision‐support approaches.

Beyond Evidence: How Framing Shapes Public Health Policies During Health Crises

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Does the level of evidence that accompanies policy action depend on how a problem is framed, and on who frames it? This article examines these questions in the context of health crises. Bridging sociological and equivalence framing theories, it treats frames as preexisting interpretive schemes shared within communities of actors, whose ...

From Policy Legitimization to Blame Avoidance—Discursive Strategies During Denmark's Mink Culling Crisis

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how governments navigate policy legitimacy during crises through three distinct discursive processes: legitimization, delegitimization, and blame avoidance. Using a sequential mixed‐methods design, the study analyzes Denmark's decision to cull all mink during the COVID‐19 pandemic. The quantitative analysis of 947 newspaper

Three‐Stage Fluid‐Assisted Dual‐Mode Janus E‐Skin for Thermally Comfortable Multiplexed SERS Sweat Analysis and Strain Monitoring

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Wearable sweat sensors face persistent trade‐offs between multiplexed detection, signal stability, and wearing comfort. Here, we present a Janus electronic skin (e‐skin) with dual‐mode functionality, offering both thermal and moisture comfort.

Synergistic Grain Refinement and Crystal Plane Reconstruction via Shot‐Peening for Highly Reversible Zn Anodes

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aqueous Zn‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are expected to become one of the most promising candidates for large‐scale energy storage, but are impeded by uncontrollable dendrite growth and parasitic reactions. In this study, we propose a simple mechanical shot‐peening (SP) approach for restructuring commercial Zn foils into highly exposed (002)‐textured

Synergistic Cobalt and Ytterbium Co‐Doping Enables Robust and Active IrRuOx for Acidic Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Balancing low iridium dosage and robust anodic stability remains a critical hurdle for practical proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). Although IrRuOx offers a cost‐effective alternative, current systems still suffer from the dual dilemma of excessive noble‐metal reliance and inadequate long‐term durability. Herein, we developed

Lignin‐Derived Carbon Quantum Dots as Hole‐Trapping Promoters in LCDs/Bi‐MOF/ZIS With S‐Scheme Heterojunction for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Peroxide Production in Pure Water

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production from water and oxygen driven by solar energy represents a highly promising green and sustainable strategy. Herein, lignin‐derived carbon quantum dots (LCDs) were strategically introduced at the heterojunction between a Bi‐based metal organic framework (Bi‐MOF) and ZnIn2S4 (ZIS).
