Countdown to extinction: Role of invasive wild boars in the population dynamics of the Yelkouan shearwater (Puffinus yelkouan) on Port‐Cros Island

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Wild boars that have recently arrived in Port‐Cros National Park are reducing the reproductive success of Yelkouan shearwaters by destroying nests and predating on eggs and chicks. In the absence of measures to control the wild boar population, this would likely accelerate the decline of the Yelkouan shearwater population.

A Lavandula angustifolia flower extract and dipeptide‐4 blend modulates oxidative, glycative, autophagic and circadian pathways in human skin models

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 477-488, June 2026.
The blend enhanced antioxidation, anti‐glycation, autophagy and circadian regulation in cell and skin models. Key markers included mitochondrial ROS, γ‐H2AX, AGEs, ATP, melatonin, LC3 and SOD. Significant improvements were visualized via fluorescence and quantified with statistical markers.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 55-74, March 2026.
In European animal welfare inspection on farms and at slaughter, inspectors encounter moral challenges that reveal the paradox at the heart of animal welfare. Against the harsh realities of industrial agriculture, not only are their idealized notions of animal wellbeing unrealizable, but inspectors are instrumental in perpetuating standards of welfare ...

Hair as sensory skin: sensitive bodies, ritual shaving, and the maintenance of bodily boundaries in Hindu Suriname De la pilosité comme peau sensorielle : corps sensibles, rasage rituel et maintien des limites du corps chez les hindous du Surinam

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 269-292, March 2026.
Hair is an integral part of the skin's interface and has sensory capacity.

Lost in Evaluation: The Intricacies of First‐ and Second‐Order Evaluations in Auditors' Promotion Committees in the Big 4 Audit Firms

Contemporary Accounting Research, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 370-397, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of auditors in the Big 4 audit firms has largely remained a “black box” in accounting and audit research. Little is known about how these processes operate within audit firms or how they relate to promotion decisions. This study addresses this gap by providing direct insight into promotion committee decision‐making.
