Beyond thermoregulation: Active behavioural regulation of ultraviolet light exposure by a free‐ranging lizard

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study provides a clear demonstration of active ultraviolet (UV) regulation in free‐ranging lizards and supports that microhabitat choice likely constrains UV regulation more than thermoregulation. Overall, it serves to establish UV as a parallel regulatory axis of physiological homeostasis and expand the range of testable hypotheses in animal ...

Paler within the city: Carotenoid‐based colouration covaries negatively with the proportion of impervious surface in great tit (Parus major) territories across Europe

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Across six European cities, great tits in more impervious territories had paler carotenoid‐based plumage, but not lower brightness or UV chroma. This suggests that urban habitat imperviousness is associated specifically with lower carotenoid pigment deposition, rather than broad changes in feather reflectance or structural quality.

Indications and Efficacy of Progestogen‐Monotherapy as Menopause Hormone Therapy: A Narrative Review

open access: yesBJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) remains the most effective treatment for vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and other manifestations of menopause; however, its use is limited in women with contraindications to oestrogen. Progestogen monotherapy, though historically underutilized, represents a viable alternative in this population. This narrative review

Quality of year‐end spending and risk–return trade‐off

open access: yesFiscal Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how the quality of government spending changes at the end of the fiscal year, using administrative data from financing programmes for small and medium‐sized enterprises in South Korea. We assess spending quality based on the average sales growth of recipient firms. We show that while an early budget execution policy reduces
