Due Diligence Regulation and Sustainability Governance in Value Chains: Lessons From the South African Wine Sector

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A recent raft of due diligence regulation (DDR) addressing social and environmental conditions in global value chains (GVCs) has spread across the UK and Europe. An emerging literature on DDR highlights the politics of its formation. Yet, we know little about how existing sustainability governance along GVCs interacts with DDR or the wider ...

Structural Variation in Whistle Patterns of Two Coastal Dolphin Species Co‐Occurring in the Southern Israeli Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Two coastal dolphin species, the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus—Tt) and the short‐beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis—Dd), co‐occur along the southern Israeli Mediterranean coast, where the critically endangered Dd population faces ecological pressures, potentially including competitive exclusion by that of the Tt ...

A Two Degree of Freedom Approach for Discrete‐Time Sliding Mode Control

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Volume 36, Issue 13, Page 6540-6551, 10 September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a new two degree of freedom (2‐DOF) framework for discrete‐time sliding mode control (DSMC) that decouples the disturbed evolution from its nominal counterpart. The novel nominal/disturbed subsystem separation for DSMC can be used to define multiple closed‐loop specifications. The nominal regulation (or tracking) controller

Rehearsing Responsiveness: Coaching Preservice Teachers to Work Within and Beyond Standardized Lesson Plans

open access: yesThe Reading Teacher, Volume 80, Issue 2, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Centrally developed English lesson plans provide structure and ensure curriculum coverage, yet they can constrain preservice teachers' creativity, responsiveness, and capacity to engage students meaningfully. Although this tension is well documented, there is limited practical guidance for teacher educators in University Teacher Preparation ...

Feathers and flu: identifying data gaps in avian influenza host dynamics to prioritize wildlife conservation Plumas y gripe: identificación de datos faltantes en la dinámica de hospedadores de la influenza aviar para priorizar la conservación de la vida silvestre

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 225, Issue 1, September 2026.
We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

Caring for Chosen Family: A Scoping Review of Clinical Work With Chosen Family

open access: yesFamily Process, Volume 65, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This scoping review provides an overview of empirical research and practice‐based literature that addresses direct clinical practice with chosen families—familial relationships that are not based on biology or law. Given the prevalence of chosen family among sexual and gender minorities as well as the amount of research that underlines chosen ...

Polygenic and Pleiotropic Adaptation of Yaks to High Altitudes: A Genome‐Wide Study of Hematological and Physiological Traits

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Hematological adaptation is critical for oxygen transport at high altitudes. While hemoglobin concentration is well‐studied, yak (Bos grunniens) hematology versus lowland cattle remains under‐explored. We analyzed blood phenotypes from 1244 plateau yaks and 154 lowland cattle.

Effects of Lycium barbarum Residue Substituting Dietary Maize on Fecal Microbiota and Growth Performance of Crossbred Simmental Cattle

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 335-346, August 2026.
The bioactive substances we extracted from Lycium barbarum residue (LBR) have a typical polysaccharide structure. When 1.80% LBR was used to replace maize in the diet, the average daily gain of rossbred Simmental was significantly increased, and anti‐inflammatory ability was improved. In addition, LBR improved the fecal microbial composition, increased
