Coerced labour patterns in the Cape Colony, c. 1806–1826

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Multiple forms of coerced labour co‐existed in the early 19th‐century Cape Colony. This study examines changes in coerced labour force composition. Using annual taxation and census records, we examine district‐ and household‐level changes in reported enslaved, Recaptured African and indigenous Khoesan labour.

Climatic factors, landscape composition and host plant traits co‐drive fruit infestation of unmanaged walnut trees by the invasive pest fly Rhagoletis completa (Cresson, 1929) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
The study examined multiscale factors influencing walnut fruit infestations by the invasive pest fly Rhagoletis completa. Infestation rates increased with fruit size, host tree abundance, grasslands, hedgerows and temperatures, but decreased with anthropogenic habitats and heavy spring rainfall.

Without Scratching the Surface: Depth Profiling Compositional Muon Analysis of Ancient Faience From Egypt and Sudan

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The specific depth‐profiling capabilities of the muonic x‐ray emission spectroscopy (μ‐XES) technique have proved to be effective for examination of the elemental distribution within ancient coins. This ‘layered’ analysis can also be applied to the examination of ancient faience, the production of which can result in distinct layers (glaze ...

A nonlinear association between chronic stress and instrumental reward learning under Pavlovian conflict: Behavioural and computational evidence

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic stress, arising from prolonged exposure to unpredictable challenges, is common in everyday life and may alter cognitive processes. However, few human studies have empirically examined the association between chronic stress and reward learning, which is critical for navigating uncertain environments.
