Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Host‐mediated filtering and interspecific associations structure strongyle parasite communities in Sable Island horses

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using individual‐level nemabiome metabarcoding of 3147 samples from 916 horses on Sable Island over 10 years, we generate the largest dataset of its kind to date. This unprecedented scale enables a rare test of the processes structuring parasite communities in a natural system, revealing dominant host‐mediated filtering and predominantly positive ...

Silica secrecy: Navigating access to silica dust data under freedom of information legislation

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Tunnel construction supports vital infrastructure development but can expose workers to serious health risks, including silicosis, from exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS). This study examines how Australia's freedom of information (FOI) legislation facilitates or hinders access to information that can support improvements in ...

The Contested Grounds of Democracy's Noninstrumental Value: Deliberative Democracy Versus Public Equality

Constellations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disagreement about democracy's noninstrumental value often sees the opposition between two competing approaches. Liberty‐based arguments assign normative priority to a principle of liberty, thereby focusing on democratic self‐government as the core principle through which political authority can be reconciled with individual liberty.

What Does a Mixed‐Frequency Multivariate Beveridge‐Nelson Decomposition Tell us about the Australian Output Gap?*

Economic Record, EarlyView.
Economic indicators inform the assessment of economic slack for central banks, yet traditional output gap estimates are often limited by the substantial reporting lags of quarterly GDP. This paper extends a mixed‐frequency Bayesian vector autoregressive (MF‐BVAR) framework to the Australian economy by applying a multivariate Beveridge–Nelson (BN ...

The effect of the mandatory disclosure of corporate tax returns on reporting bias

Journal of Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How do investor reactions to the mandatory disclosure of firm tax information influence managers' reporting choices? To answer this question, we build a structural model of reporting bias, which we test with a unique data set of Turkish firms that have been mandated to publicly disclose their tax returns since 2009.

Nocturnal Behavior of Wintering Common Cranes (Grus grus) Under Varying Environmental Conditions

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
For diurnal species, nighttime represents a critical ecological boundary. Understanding the ecological determinants of nocturnal activity in taxa traditionally regarded as inactive after dusk is essential for elucidating the adaptive significance of nighttime behavior. We examined how night phase, nocturnal brightness (moon illumination and cloud cover)
