Persistence without prosperity at the upper range margin: Elevation, microhabitat buffering and biotic pressure in a range‐expanding spider

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic linear features facilitate high‐elevation colonization. Parasitoid pressure declines markedly with elevation. Cocoon damage increases despite reduced parasitism at high elevation. Abstract The upper elevational range limits of thermophilic arthropods reflect constraints on population persistence rather than simple presence.

Influence of elevation, climate, snowmelt and floral abundance on body size of solitary bees

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We measured body size in bee species from a 10‐year specimen collection from Colorado sub‐alpine meadows (2450–3450 m) and tested effects of elevation and annual snowmelt, climate and floral abundance. 2 out of 4 bee species collected across a broad elevation range showed a decline in body size with higher elevations; the other two showed no effect ...

‘Elbow grease and yellow soap’: Housework time in working‐class households in late‐nineteenth and early twentieth‐century Britain

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Housework is central to feminist calls for recognition of women's work, economic histories explaining the sexual division of labour, and claims regarding the progressive role of scientific knowledge. Yet little is known about the time it actually took. We address this lacuna.

Support, reciprocity, and kinship as seeds of Indigenous family resilience during COVID‐19

Family Relations, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Our goal was to better understand the impact of COVID‐19 on Indigenous family coping. The focal research question was the following: What protective factors do Indigenous women cite as buffering stressors related to COVID‐19 for themselves and their families? Background During the COVID‐19 pandemic, Indigenous peoples experienced the

Astrocytic connexin43 phosphorylation contributes to seizure susceptibility after mild traumatic brain injury

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Astrocytic gap junctions formed by connexin43 (Cx43) help maintain brain homeostasis. After mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), total cortical Cx43 increases and redistributes toward a soluble, non‐junctional pool with elevated hemichannel activity and increased phosphorylation at serine 368 (pCx43S368).

Food supplementation reduces early‐stage nest attendance under adverse weather conditions in Red Kites

Ibis, EarlyView.
Parental care strategies have evolved to ensure optimal offspring rearing under varying environmental conditions. Nest attendance is a fundamental behaviour providing protection against predators and adverse weather, but it is traded against time spent foraging.

Population genetic analysis of the endangered Mottled Duskywing butterfly (Erynnis martialis) informs species reintroduction

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis) populations had moderate levels of genetic diversity at microsatellites with expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.43 to 0.58, and populations more than 10 km apart were differentiated from one another. Weak patterns of isolation by distance and low effective population sizes suggest that all but the largest ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Dynamic Trust Formation in AI‐Enabled Automation: A Longitudinal Case Study of an Advanced Driver Assistance System

Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI)–enabled automation is often utilised in systems that perform human tasks. While useful, these technologies pose a risk of adverse consequences in the case of AI failures as they operate in open environments, learn and are subject to continuous updates.

Gender Justice in the Triple Planetary Crisis: A Scoping Review

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To identify and report how gender justice is conceptualised and discussed in contemporary health literature in relation to the Triple Planetary Crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss, with a particular focus on the experiences of women and gender‐diverse populations, and the representation of nurses and other healthcare ...
