Maximizing the detection probabilities of dusky grouse for population monitoring
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Despite its status as a game species in the western USA, rigorous monitoring of dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus populations is limited. Obtaining an adequate number of observations for effective population monitoring of dusky grouse is challenging due to difficult‐to‐reach montane habitats, cryptic behaviors, and limited personnel, time, and funds at

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The light climate at high latitudes, in particular the extended twilight of winter and the reduced diel variation in light level in midsummer and midwinter, potentially constrains visual function and the synchronisation of temporal organisation in polar species. In this

Nocturnal but not diurnal threats shape stopover strategy in a migrating songbird
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This novel study reveals that nocturnal, but not diurnal, predation risk shapes stopover strategies in a migratory songbird. By distinguishing predator hunting strategies, European robins differentially adjust fueling and activity patterns to mitigate threats.

Experimental noise and light pollution alter prey detection in a nocturnal bird of prey
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.The study explores combined effects of noise and light pollution in a nocturnal avian predator and shows that both noise and light affect owls' ability to detect prey acoustically but not visually. Lower prey detection might decrease hunting success and fitness, and eventually lead to a shift in hunting strategies.

Zeitgeist and Ortgeist: Time and Place in Institutional Creation
British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract How are institutions created is one of the most interesting questions in institutional theory.

British Journal of Special Education, EarlyView.Abstract This article starts by reviewing the position that inclusion is a contested and difficult term to define and that there have been no attempts to link the policy challenges of inclusive education with the issues of democratic policymaking. The article then summarises contemporary ideas and practices about deliberative approaches to policymaking

The problem is that inclusion in England is simply rhetoric with no real substance
British Journal of Special Education, EarlyView.Abstract This article reflects on government statistics that show that an increasing number of learners are being marginalised from mainstream education despite the UK's commitment to inclusion. Unclear definitions, rhetoric and a focus on placing the problem within the learner lead to an increasing demand for compensatory approaches.

Reflecting on the models of disability utilised in schools
Support for Learning, EarlyView.Abstract The special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system is in crisis. A major new inquiry has been launched to find solutions, in part exploring how educational settings can become more inclusive through the provision of ‘high quality support’. This begs the question—what is high quality support?
