Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

Teaching socio‐communicative behaviours in play routines with caregivers: A feasibility study

DNA methylation and epigenomic profiling post‐mortem of human remain analogs (Sus scrofa) in southern Ontario, Canada

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the dynamics of DNA methylation (DNAm) post‐mortem could support forensic applications, particularly the estimation of the post‐mortem interval (PMI), age, and sex of remains. In this study, we investigated DNAm changes in pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) as analogs for human decomposition, while measuring the progression of decay ...

The hidden discount: Examining racial disparity in the use of suspended sentences

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Extant research on criminal sentencing generally concludes that racial/ethnic disparity is concentrated in the “in–out” decision, and that racial differences in sentence lengths are small and inconsistent. However, sentence length analyses rarely focus on the fact that criminal sentences are often partially or fully suspended, creating ...

Enhancing the vase life of cut roses through spectral optimisation during greenhouse cultivation

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Here, we examined three red‐to‐blue (R:B) light emitting diode (LED) ratios (90:10, 80:20 and 70:30) in two cut rose cultivars. All treatments enhanced photosynthesis, with 90:10 showing the strongest effects—raising chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanins and carbohydrate levels, and extending vase life by up to 30%.
