The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda
European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Urban Bats: City Lovers or Refugees?
Ethology, EarlyView.Hypothetical relationship between urbanisation intensity and bat species population persistence framed through a species refuge concept. Moderately urbanised landscapes may function as temporal refuge zones where habitat heterogeneity and establishment suitability allow some bat species to colonise and persist.

Foreign Language Annals, EarlyView.Abstract Critical pedagogical approaches such as critical literacies represent important tools for incorporating diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice into L2 teaching, an objective that is more important now than ever before. However, research has shown that implementing such practices is difficult—even for instructors who value them—due to

Performing Large‐Scale Genetic Analysis in the Bleeding Disorders Community
Haemophilia, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Inherited bleeding disorders encompass a diverse group of conditions caused by genetic defects affecting coagulation factors, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, or platelet function. Despite major advances in quantitative and functional laboratory assays, a substantial diagnostic gap remains, particularly in patients with mild or atypical ...

Ibis, EarlyView.Artificial breeding structures, such as nestboxes, can potentially influence the population size and conservation status of bird species relying on heavily human‐modified environments such as agroecosystems and urban areas. However, the effectiveness of these interventions may vary, as artificial structures could attract individuals to suboptimal ...

Ibis, EarlyView.The importance of considering historical data in developing conservation and restoration measures for individual species and for wider ecological restoration has been pointed out by recent reviews but often remains neglected in practice. This paper provides a case study illustrating the issue through a review of the former breeding distribution of the ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...
