Fragment Edges Benefit a Common Predator of Pollinators via Bottom‐Up Effects

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigated the hypotheses regarding the effects of habitat fragmentation on spider biomass and causing bottom‐up or top‐down effects on multi‐trophic relationships. ABSTRACT Defaunation following habitat fragmentation typically threatens predators at higher trophic levels, which further alter prey and plants via top‐down effects.

Black Accountants' Pursuit of Partnership La quête de l'accession au statut d'associé des comptables de race noire

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent AICPA surveys indicate disproportionate attrition among Black professionals attaining partnership in US public accounting firms, underscoring the need to better understand their experiences. Despite repeated calls for examination, understanding of these experiences remains limited, partly due to the difficulty in accessing the few Black

Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

Investigating an Enhanced Contour Blasting Technique Considering Rock Mass Structural Properties

Applied Sciences
When excavating tunnels and underground openings with the drill-and-blast method, minimizing excavation overbreak is vital, as it reduces the costs associated with excavation stability, mucking, and rock support.

Evaluation of blasting parameters for hydraulic tunnels based on multiple monitoring information

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Blasting excavation is frequently used in myriads of hydraulic tunnels in Southwest China. To evaluate the effects of blasting parameters on the stability of tunnels and reveal reasonable blasting parameters, a field test on blasting parameters is ...

Dispersal, source and glass chemistry of a third tephra unit within Iceland's Settlement Layer

Boreas, EarlyView.
Tephra layers may be studied to understand the dynamics and sequence of past explosive volcanism. In Iceland, the distinctive Settlement Layer (AD ~877) underlies almost all archaeological evidence for the Norse Settlement and is preserved in soils across Iceland and as cryptotephra overseas.

Decoding neuronal vulnerability: Multidimensional analysis of D1R‐ and D2R‐ medium‐sized spiny neurons in Huntington's disease

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
D1R and D2R MSNs show distinct responses to Huntington's pathology. G&T‐sequencing of pre‐symptomatic MSNs reveals global LINE‐1 downregulation. While D1R‐MSNs display early transcriptomic changes (OXPHOS/translation upregulation) and reduced mutant huntingtin aggregation, D2R‐MSNs exhibit higher nuclear mHTT accumulation and greater CAG somatic ...

Environmental justice in education for climate action: Case studies from Perú and Uganda

Children &Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper draws on participatory research with secondary school learners in Perú and Uganda that shows how environmental and social (in) justices are interwoven and embedded in young people's experiences of the natural world. These experiences contrast with learners' accounts of environmental education in secondary schooling, in which the ...
