A Very Social History: South American Cricketing Tourists in Britain in 1932

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on both the rich Anglophone cricket historiography and the new Latin American sports scholarship, this article maps out the entangled global networks that shaped the tour of Britain made in 1932 by a team of South American cricketers.

The Persistence of Poverty from Childhood to Early Adulthood in Australia*

Economic Record, EarlyView.
Drawing on 22 years of longitudinal data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey, we investigate how exposure to poverty in childhood is associated with poverty risk in early adulthood. We find a substantial and highly non‐linear gradient in poverty persistence from childhood into early adulthood.

Males are worse mothers: Comparing care patterns in a facultatively caring beetle

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Why should biparental care exist if offspring fare just as well when only one parent is present? In the facultatively dependent burying beetle, Nicrophorus vespilloides, manipulating environmental quality reveals that biparental care benefits offspring in form of lower personal immune requirement and parents in term of weight gain.

Unravelling Evolutionary Dynamics of Female Sexual Cannibalism and Male Reproductive Strategies in Spiders

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully understood. We review key hypotheses for SC and explore how female‐initiated SC has driven the evolution of various male counter‐adaptations to mitigate its ...

Unraveling Occurrence Patterns and Diversity of Avian Malaria Parasites in Iberian Obligate and Facultative Scavenger Birds

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Low overall haemosporidian occurrence (3.4%; 13/383). Unexpected high lineage diversity (10 new host–parasite interactions). Novel Leucocytozoon lineage (GYPBAR01) in all European vultures except the griffon vulture. Plasmodium relictum (lineage SGS1) in adult red kites.

Some Tuco‐Tucos Hide More Than Others: An Integrative Approach Reveals Cryptic Diversity in Ctenomys (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae) From Central Argentina

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Here, we adopt an integrative framework (molecular phylogenetics and geometric morphometrics) to reassess patterns of diversity and differentiation across this region. We analyzed cytochrome b sequences and quantified cranial shape variation. Our analyses indicate the presence of three species groups (mendocinus, talarum, and tucumanus) and two ...

Effect of Morphology and Spatial Distribution of Males on Vocal Identity in a Non‐Learning African Wood Dove

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Emerald‐spotted Wood‐Dove songs show strong individual vocal signatures. Morphology explains little acoustic variation. Acoustic divergence increases with geographic distance between males, while local neighbor density does not influence vocal distinctiveness.

Meta‐Virtuality: Strategies of Disembeddedness in Virtual Interiorities

Journal of Interior Design, EarlyView., 2022
ABSTRACT To reclaim their seat in the rapidly growing market of virtual space, designers of the built environment can benefit from reevaluating theories that see the virtual as a mere extension/reflection of the physical. By claiming ontological autonomy from external worlds, the virtual is liberated from the hegemonic control of the physical.
