Layered abandonment: The moral interpretation of suffering in extreme confinement

Criminology, EarlyView.

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

New biosensors and transgenic mice for multiplex cGMP imaging

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a versatile second messenger that is important for human (patho‐)physiology and pharmacotherapy. Live‐cell imaging of cGMP with biosensors allows to elucidate its spatiotemporal dynamics in real time under close‐to‐native conditions. However, to monitor two separate cGMP pools or cGMP/cAMP

Exploration speed in Red Knots affects spring migration timing, but only after experimentally constrained fuelling conditions

Ibis, EarlyView.
Individual variation in avian migration timing is still poorly understood, yet recent evidence shows that it is closely linked to personality traits and may also be affected by food availability. Here, we examined how the interaction of the personality trait exploration speed and food availability affected the departure timing of Red Knots Calidris ...
