Gender inequality in urban British Africa: Evidence from Anglican marriage registers

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract We examine the colonial origins and evolution of gender inequality in mission schooling and formal labour force participation across six cities in British colonial Africa, using marriage register data for some 30,000 Anglican brides and grooms well‐positioned to benefit from colonial educational and employment opportunities.

Behavioural Diversity of Fishes: Concepts, Drivers and Its Role in Conservation and Management

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human activity has altered nearly all ecosystems on Earth, contributing to substantial biodiversity loss across taxonomic, genetic and functional dimensions, from the intraspecific to the ecosystem scale. Yet some components of biodiversity remain hidden or underappreciated, including behavioural diversity.

Post‐release survival, movement and marine migration of smolt‐to‐adult supplemented Atlantic Salmon

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations are declining across much of their range, prompting the use of supplementation strategies, such as smolt‐to‐adult supplementation (SAS), to enhance adult returns. However, little is known about how captivity while maturing to adulthood influences post‐release survival, behaviour and migration of ...

Photochemical effects of Mars‐like UV irradiation on carboxylic acids in carbonaceous chondrites and expectations for abiotic background organics on Mars

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract In the search for life on Mars, understanding the origin of preserved organics is critical. Expected sources include exogenous delivery, endogenous synthesis, and potentially life. Environmental processing by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation can alter these organics, obscuring hallmarks of their origin. To deconvolve these effects, we conducted an

Constraining mass transfer histories of blue straggler stars with COS spectroscopy of white dwarf companions

Recent studies show that the majority of blue straggler stars in old open clusters are formed through mass transfer from an evolved star onto a main sequence companion, resulting in a blue straggler and white dwarf in a binary system.

Hydroxyaldehyde and formyl photoproducts of protoporphyrin IX formed under photodynamic diagnosis and therapy irradiation conditions

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Photoproducts of the photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) may have diagnostic and therapeutic relevance in photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). These photoproducts possess fluorescence and photosensitizing properties and could serve as a complementary dosimetry index alongside photosensitizer photobleaching. The formation of

Obesity and the Politics of Taddeo di Bartolo's Inferno

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines Taddeo di Bartolo's depiction of Hell in the Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta, the mother church of San Gimignano. In a striking departure from similar scenes of the period, the fresco, painted in the early fifteenth century, emphasizes the obesity of the sinners—suggesting a deliberate visual critique.

Cytologic Characteristics of the Feline Ovary at Different Sexual Stages

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cytology is a valuable diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine, allowing rapid and minimally invasive diagnosis. However, its application in the reproductive tracts of small animals is limited, primarily used to assess mammary masses and stage the estrous cycle.
