Objects of Affection: Deathly Encounters With Taxidermy, Stuffed Toys and Atmospheres

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores how children and young people relate to death through affective atmospheres and embodied, imaginative encounters with taxidermy and stuffed toy animals. Using arts‐based research (ABR), we explore how death, affective atmospheres, empathy and materiality entangle during multispecies relations.

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

The aesthetic sublime of megaproject structures: A framework and a research agenda

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract The physical structures of megaprojects—such as mega‐canals, metros, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, and iconic opera houses—hold a profound capacity to generate aesthetic experiences with enduring societal impact. Yet, research on megaprojects has predominantly focused on functionality and economic rationale with aesthetics being pushed to ...

Species diversity and host plant associations of ambrosia beetles in Southeast Asian forests of Laos and Vietnam revealed by DNA barcoding

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Integrative DNA barcoding of ambrosia beetles and host plants revealed 27 beetle species across 16 genera and extensive, previously undocumented host plant diversity in Laos and Vietnam. Host specificity varied widely among ambrosia beetles, with Xylosandrus crassiusculus emerging as a dominant generalist associated with 19 host species from 12 plant ...

Bacteriomes, cryptic forms and evolution of a common wireworm pest species, Hypnoidus bicolor

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Wireworms are important agricultural pests, including Hypnoidus bicolor in the Canadian Prairies. Parthenogenetic and sexual populations of H. bicolor appear associated with different molecular clades. Bacterial community composition and structure were influenced by developmental stage, sampling location and host genetics.

Numerical Simulation of the Vibration Response of, and Damage to, a Deep Foundation Pit Under Multiple Blasting Events

Advances in Civil Engineering
To address the disturbance and damage to the surrounding rock and retaining piles caused by blasting excavation in deep foundation pits, the vibration response and cumulative damage under multiple blasting events were investigated through numerical ...

Outbreaks of Granulomatous Disease Associated With Vibrio harveyi Infection in Grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × E. lanceolatus) Aquaculture in Taiwan

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Between 2015 and 2024, outbreaks of muscular and visceral granulomatous disease, resulting in moderate‐to‐severe mortality in farmed groupers, occurred in southern Taiwan. Initially, affected groupers were screened for granuloma‐associated pathogens, including Mycobacterium spp., Nocardia spp., Photobacterium damselae and Edwardsiella spp ...

Carbon Populism and Representative Politics: On Why Fossil Fuel Firms Speaking for ‘The People’ Is a Bad Idea

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite growing recognition that countries around the world must transition to a low‐carbon economy, global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. One way that decarbonization has been obstructed, we argue, is by fossil fuel firms intentionally conflating their agenda with ‘the people’, evoking notions of national identity, security and ...

α‐1,3‐Glucan Is Required for Cell Wall Integrity and Full Virulence of Colletotrichum graminicola, but Not for Evasion of PAMP‐Triggered Immunity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abbreviated Summary The role of the major fungal cell wall polymer α‐1,3‐glucan in plant infection is poorly understood. Deletion mutants of the maize anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum graminicola lacking all three α‐1,3‐glucan synthase genes differentiated severely distorted biotrophic hyphae in planta, and virulence was strongly reduced.

The Judeo‐Islamic God

The Muslim World, EarlyView.
Abstract This article discusses the concept of the Judeo‐Islamic God as a substantive and defensible alternative to the problematic concept of the “Judeo‐Christian God” in popular, political, and academic Western discourses. It argues that the transcendent monotheistic deity of Islam, Allāh, is a direct continuation of the composite deity of Rabbinic ...
