Nests of Pirates? “Islandness” in the Balearic Islands and La Garde-Freinet [PDF]

Al-Masāq, 2019
The “World of Medieval Islands” project invites the questioning of the category of island from medieval evidence, and coincided with another project of the author’s that was undertaking a similar exercise with medieval frontiers. Combining these two research areas, this article investigates two island, or island-like, zones that were situated at the ...

Diet breadth shapes gut microbiota in the invasive hornet Vespa velutina

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Dietary and microbial profiles of V. velutina larvae are dominated by Apidae and Firmicutes, respectively. DNA metabarcoding of larval meconium and gut samples reveals a significant positive correlation between prey richness and bacterial diversity in the invasive hornet V. velutina. Multiple significant correlations exist between dietary and microbial

Gut microbiome and plasma lipidome analysis reveals a specific impact of Clostridioides difficile infection on intestinal bacterial communities and sterol metabolism

mBio
Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) causes alterations in the intestinal microbiota, frequently associated with changes in the gut metabolism of bile acids and cholesterol.

Seasonal shifts in network structure and species roles in a tropical island plant–flower visitor community Cambios estacionales en la estructura de la red de interacciones entre plantas y visitantes florales y en los roles de las especies en una comunidad insular tropical

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Constant visitation rates across the flowering season masked major shifts in plant and flower visitor interaction structure, specialization, species roles and trait‐driven patterns shaping interaction intensity. Plants and flower visitors changed ecological roles over time, with native flower visitors playing key roles in maintaining network cohesion ...

Eight Years of Citizen Science Reveal Taxonomic Confusion Patterns and Dynamic Participation in the Monitoring of Vespa velutina in Spain

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) is a successful invasive species in Europe, where its monitoring is partially reliant on citizen science (CS) initiatives. While CS is a powerful tool for early detection, taxonomic confusion and fluctuating participant engagement can limit its effectiveness.

Niche modelling and landscape genetics of the yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina): An integrative approach for evaluating central–marginal population dynamics in Europe

Ecology and Evolution
Genetic diversity is an important biological trait for a successful invasion. During the expansion across a new territory, an invasive species may face unprecedented ecological conditions that will determine its demography and genetic diversity.

Moral Judgment Reloaded: A Moral Dilemma validation study

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
We propose a revised set of moral dilemmas for studies on moral judgment. We selected a total of 46 moral dilemmas available in the literature and fine-tuned them in terms of four conceptual factors (Personal Force, Benefit Recipient, Evitability and ...

Guidance for the Use of AI in the Meta‐Analysis of Economics Research

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Meta‐analysis is widely accepted to be the most rigorous and objective approach to the synthesis, interpretation, and understanding of findings from specific areas of empirical economics research. With the advent of increasingly capable generative artificial intelligence and AI's potential to transform the practice of meta‐analysis, the Meta ...
