Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT What are the conditions under which business corporations expand their institutional power? This paper argues that institutional power is affected by the architecture of the “acquisition regime”—the set of formal (and informal) rules that govern how states purchase public services.

Blocking the Poor: Status Quo Bias in Policy Congruence
Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT Research on unequal responsiveness has shown that policies tend to align more closely with the preferences of high‐income citizens than low‐income citizens. Using comparative data on opinions and policies, we suggest that this inequality primarily results from status quo bias; asymmetric blocking power drives unequal congruence rather than ...

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on policy diffusion, the ways in which policy attention influences this process remain underexplored. This study addressed this gap by distinguishing between three types of policy attention—political speeches, policy issuance and field visits—and investigating their differential impacts when delivered by central and ...

Policy Studies Journal, Volume 54, Issue 3, August 2026.ABSTRACT As the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) begins to unpack issues of power and narratives, the main focus has been on power‐over and domination rather than more transformative notions of power‐to and empowerment. This article draws on insights from gender and policy studies and suggests that the NPF benefits from adopting a multifaceted notion ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We evaluated whether citizen science–derived camera‐trap records can be used to characterize large‐scale activity patterns of a widely distributed mesocarnivore across heterogeneous landscapes. Using 821 independent iNaturalist records, we quantified activity across six major vegetation types in Mexico with kernel density estimation, circular ...

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.This study examines the structural and chemical evolution of low‐loaded Ir/ATO anodes during PEM water electrolysis under realistic conditions. Iridium dissolution is largely suppressed. In the early stages, both ionomer and support degradation are detected. Morphological reorganization occurs at the interface between the anode catalyst layer (ACL) and

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1238-1255, July 2026.Herbarium collections are powerful, yet underutilized, tools for global biodiversity conservation and protected area management. By integrating digitized herbarium records with existing biodiversity data, previously unknown plant species were uncovered, exposing critical gaps in conservation knowledge.

The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1017-1028, July 2026.Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...

Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1304-1321, July 2026.Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...
