Lobbying and Political Risk Disclosure: Do Socially Responsible Firms Voluntarily Disclose More?
British Journal of Management, EarlyView.Abstract Drawing on theories of strategic communication, legitimacy, impression management and moral capital, this study investigates whether firms use political risk disclosure to offset negative perceptions associated with corporate lobbying. Using a sample of 10,120 observations from 1362 US firms between 2002 and 2018, we find that firms with ...

A hypothesis on improving foreign accents by optimizing variability in vocal learning brain circuits [PDF]
, 2015 Rapid vocal motor learning is observed when acquiring a language in early childhood, or learning to speak another language later in life. Accurate pronunciation is one of the hardest things for late learners to master and they are almost always left with

Birdsong: Not all contest but also cooperation?
Current Biology, 2023 Birdsong generally functions to defend territories from same-sex competitors and to attract mates. Wild zebra finch males now are shown to sing prolifically outside the breeding season and without defending territories, suggesting potential social functions for birdsong beyond competition.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

Structural-functional characteristics of two song types in Phylloscopus humei (Phylloscopidae)
Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2023 Several songbird species use two singing modes, which are functionally different. The first mode is preferentially used at the beginning of the breeding cycle, and serves to attract females, while the second mode is used later in the season as well as ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding species interactions is critical for ecology and conservation, yet conventional network construction methods often lack spatiotemporal resolution and important contextual information. The growing field of ecoacoustics enables remote sensing across large spatiotemporal scales and the monitoring of otherwise cryptic communities ...

Children &Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Developmental psychology continues to shape how adults engage with children about death and dying. This influences whether children are included in rituals surrounding human and other‐than‐human bodies. Figurations of the innocent, immature and vulnerable child still dominate adult imaginaries of young children's understandings of mortality ...

Processes underlying complex patterns of song trait evolution in a Setophaga hybrid zone
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 During secondary contact between two species when hybrids are less fit than parents, mating signals are expected to diverge, while aggressive signals are expected to converge.
