The Mysterious Stranger and Modern Enchantment

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sociological accounts of modernity have long emphasized rationalization, alienation, and the attenuation of affective intensity. While these diagnoses capture crucial dynamics of modern social order, they leave underexplored a persistent and generative dimension of social life: enchantment.

Twenty‐First Century Butlers and the New Spirit of Service

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT More than 50 years ago, Lewis Coser argued that the “servant” had become obsolete, claiming that such a “premodern” occupation could not function within modernity without religious legitimations. However, with parts of the contemporary service sector exhibiting the very characteristics that Coser viewed as “premodern”—especially within ...

A Decadal Home‐Range Dynamics and Habitat Shift in Golden Snub‐Nosed Monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides novel insights into the biogeographic patterns of the Sichuan golden snub‐nosed monkey, particularly in terms of habitat suitability and spatial‐use strategies. We found that habitat suitability has expanded over the past decade, with substantial shifts in the environmental factors influencing habitat suitability, from terrain and ...

Nocturnal Behavior of Wintering Common Cranes (Grus grus) Under Varying Environmental Conditions

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
For diurnal species, nighttime represents a critical ecological boundary. Understanding the ecological determinants of nocturnal activity in taxa traditionally regarded as inactive after dusk is essential for elucidating the adaptive significance of nighttime behavior. We examined how night phase, nocturnal brightness (moon illumination and cloud cover)

Life Under the Snow: Camera Trap Videos Capture Year‐Round Lemming Activity and Behavior

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We developed an automated camera system capable of recording year‐round videos of lemmings beneath the snow in the High Arctic. We demonstrate the potential of this system to document lemming activity and behaviors. Our results show that it effectively monitors lemming relative abundance with temporal precision unmatched by other methods.

Unity Brings Mutual Benefits: The Huddling Strategies of Temperate‐Living Primates in Cold Environments

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Cold exposure triggers enhanced huddling responses in golden snub‐nosed monkeys, characterized by increased huddling frequency, duration, and larger group formation. Huddling effectively improves thermal regulation by elevating body surface temperature and reducing heat loss, with individuals inside aggregations achieving greater thermal benefits than ...
