Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.The parasitoid‐associated polydnavirus CgPDV, but not venom alone, significantly increases the attractiveness of Pieris brassicae caterpillars to the hyperparasitoid Baryscapus galactopus at close range. Naturally parasitized caterpillars elicit stronger hyperparasitoid attraction than any injection treatment, indicating that additional factors beyond ...

The effect of caste, mass and colony identity on rescue priorities in the red imported fire ant
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Fire ants will rescue brood when the brood becomes trapped underground. We find that rescuers may use odor cues to locate trapped rescue targets. We demonstrate that a single reproductive larva is preferentially rescued over a single worker larva, but that caches of multiple worker larvae receive equal treatment as a single reproductive larva.

Success and failure in England's patent system: New evidence from patent applications, 1783–1834
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Our understanding of the relationship between the English patent system and technical change during the industrial revolution is based entirely on the study of successful patents. We address this feature by providing the first study of unsuccessful patent applications in England during the first industrial revolution.

Ethology, EarlyView.In this study, we found moderate to strong repeatabilities in behavioural variables measuring the personality traits: activity, aggressiveness and exploration. Similarly, the probability of acting as a leader during tandem running in an emigration event was moderately (R = 0.469) repeatable.

Metabolic mRNA insufficiency of single cells: Implications for drug targeting and resistance
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Because none of the single‐cell mRNA profiles of growing cell populations encoded any pathway towards cell growth, we used cluster‐averaged transcriptomes to estimate protein‐constrained Vmax's and identify (combinations of) subpopulation‐specific targets to overcome drug resistance.

Brand Equity and Debt Diversification
Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how brand equity influences the diversity of firms’ debt structures. We propose that brand equity, by signaling larger and more stable future cash flows and greater product market awareness, alters the fundamental trade‐offs that drive optimal debt type diversity.

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The linkage between growth rate and feeding success in fish larvae has received much attention as a potential indicator of future growth and survival potential. Given the increasing evidence that the growth–survival relationship is highly variable, the growth–feeding linkage would also exhibit variable dynamics among cohorts of the same ...
