Effects of temperature and browning on the functional response of a freshwater top predator
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study explores for the first time how temperature and browning affect the functional response of a freshwater piscivore, the northern pike. The authors find surprisingly weak effects of browning, challenging visual foraging theory. Pike displayed a rare dome‐shaped functional response in cold clear water, potentially driven by seasonal changes in ...

International Tourism in the Global South: Revealing an Extractive Development Process
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Hosting international tourism remains a key development strategy for many Global South countries to generate economic growth, government revenue and employment. However, this conventional wisdom can be contested: tourism may instead be seen as an extractive process that disrupts livelihoods, ecosystems and host economies.

Measured and predicted pressure distributions on the AFTI/F-111 mission adaptive wing [PDF]
Flight tests have been conducted using an F-111 aircraft modified with a mission adaptive wing (MAW). The MAW has variable-camber leading and trailing edge surfaces that can change the wing camber in flight, while preserving smooth upper surface contours.

Fronting in Old Catalan: Asymmetries between Narration and Reported Speech1
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 1-28, March 2025.Abstract This article explores the distribution, syntax, and information structure of XVS clauses in the narrative text and the reported speech of a thirteenth‐century Old Catalan chronicle, the Llibre dels Fets. It is shown that XVS occurs mainly within reported speech and in embedded clauses.

Putting the Femme in Feminist: Trans Feminism and the ‘Male Lesbian’ in the American Second Wave
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A slur, a joke or a post‐structuralist case of mistaken identity. To the extent that the male lesbian has been discussed, she has figured dismissively. Yet throughout the period historicised as American feminism's second wave, potentially thousands of trans femmes organised under this identity. Despite being entirely overlooked in scholarship,
