The psychiatric fix

open access: yesMedical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article draws on four years of ethnographic fieldwork in Los Angeles’ (LA) jail mental health facility to describe the interrelated crises of rising numbers of people declared incompetent to stand trial and the recurrent failure of managing madness in jail.

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) feeding on donkeys in the United Kingdom, with reference to the risk of transmission and persistence of African horse sickness virus

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Culicoides biting midges were collected at a donkey sanctuary in the United Kingdom using UV light‐suction traps. Culicoides were found in abundance and all specimens were identified to species level. Blood‐feeding on donkeys was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of host bloodmeals. Donkeys could play a significant role in the

Thermal Stress Is Associated With Fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica Meadows

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
By combining a physiological model of cumulative thermal stress with AI‐based seagrass mapping, we show that chronic sublethal warming is associated with fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica meadows and increased regression risk by 2100. ABSTRACT Posidonia oceanica meadows, which underpin Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, are undergoing ...

Inside a duck‐billed dinosaur: Vertebral bone microstructure of Huallasaurus (Hadrosauridae), Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1702-1712, July 2026.
Abstract Dinosaurs evolved a unique respiratory system with air sacs that contributed to their evolutionary success. Postcranial skeletal pneumaticity (PSP) has been used to infer the presence of air sac systems in some fossil archosaurs. While unambiguous evidence of PSP is well documented in pterosaurs and post‐Carnian saurischians, it remains absent

Banking on Sustainable Innovation: A Comparative Analysis of Institutional and Regulatory Frameworks for SME Finance in the EU and African Union

open access: yesThunderbird International Business Review, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 455-471, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how legal and institutional frameworks influence bank financing for sustainable innovation among SMEs in the European Union (EU) and African Union (AU). Using institutional theory, it analyzes how coercive, normative, and mimetic pressures interact across international, regional, and domestic levels to shape green lending ...

Establishing the Epidemiological Cut‐Off Value (ECOFF) for Cefquinome Against Staphylococcus aureus Using Standardised MIC Data

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
A total of 110 Staphylococcus aureus isolates from cattle were analysed to determine the epidemiological cut‐off value (ECOFF) for cefquinome. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined using standardised agar dilution and broth microdilution methods following 24 h incubation.

Status of On‐Farm Artificial Insemination Services and Effectiveness of Oestrus Synchronization in Dairy Cattle Under Small‐Scale Dairy Farming System

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Cross‐sectional survey and retrospective data on the oestrus synchronization were collected and analysed. The predominant mating system practiced by dairy farmers was AI (55.6%), and 73.5% of farmers apply controlled mating. The highest response rate and pregnancy rate were 89.5% and 45.2%, respectively, whereas a birth rate of 9.6%–18.5% was obtained.

Using Metabarcoding Techniques to Map Multiple Dung Beetle‐Vertebrate iDNA Networks in a Southeast Asian Forest

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Given the high levels of endemism, diversity, and increasing anthropogenic impacts in tropical regions, studies on species interactions and ecological networks are urgently needed to understand community responses to environmental change. Increasingly, molecular methods are used to monitor biodiversity and identify species interactions.

Reproductive consequences of mate retention and divorce in a short‐lived migratory passerine

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 1139-1147, July 2026.
In socially monogamous birds, pair‐bond duration varies across species, from single‐breeding associations to long‐lasting, multi‐year bonds. Studies of pair retention and divorce have focused on long‐lived and sedentary species rather than short‐lived and migratory species.

Genomic Analysis of Inbreeding Depression on Productive Traits in Rubia Galega Beef Cattle Breed

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 4, Page 508-523, July 2026.
ABSTRACT In autochthonous livestock breeds with small populations, such as the Rubia Galega from Galicia (Spain), mating between relatives is common and can lead to inbreeding depression. Genomic inbreeding coefficients were estimated for 4984 animals using ~63,000 SNPs to assess inbreeding depression in four key traits: age at first calving (AFC) with
