Refusal and Aporia: At the Limits of Anthropological Knowledge

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 2, Page 339-348, June 2026.
ABSTRACT As anthropologists increasingly take up refusal, opacity, and other forms of resistance to surveillance and subjugation, this paper questions what implications this has for the discipline in practice. Considering anthropology's enduring centrality in defining what it means to be human, including the various ways that this category has been ...

Selection in the third dimension: Using LiDAR derived canopy metrics to assess individual and population‐level habitat partitioning of ocelots, bobcats, and coyotes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Wildlife depends on specific landscape features to persist. Thus, characterizing the vegetation available in an area can be essential for management.

The Importance of Individual Body Condition in Mammalian Behavioural Responses to Disturbance

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
Body condition, shaped by the balance between energy demands and reserves, predictably shapes mammalian disturbance responses. Poor‐condition individuals adopt needs‐based strategies, accepting greater risks to meet immediate energetic needs, while good‐condition individuals follow asset‐protection strategies, minimizing risks to protect their survival

Perceived Lightness Differences in Complex Scenes

Color Research &Application, Volume 51, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Background strongly affects perceived lightness differences. Gray backgrounds and larger separation reduce perceived differences (gap effect). Current color‐difference models poorly predict perception in complex scenes. ABSTRACT Psychophysical experiments were conducted to quantify perceived lightness differences between stimuli presented on three ...

Non-Traditional Export Crops and Household Livelihood Strategies: Panel Data Evidence from Guatemala [PDF]

This study uses a unique panel dataset that spans a 20-year period (1985-2005), and estimates the effect of household non-traditional agricultural export (NTX) adoption on changes in livelihood orientation and participation in non-farm employment in ...

No Evidence of Reactive Avoidance of Baboons (Papio ursinus and Papio anubis) to the Presence of Predators

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
In this study, we took advantage of the largest camera trap‐based monitoring project in Africa, Snapshot Safari and analyzed 10,000 camera trap detections from three sites in South Africa and one site in Tanzania to test whether baboons exhibit species‐specific reactive avoidance in response to the presence of predators. ABSTRACT Predators exert strong

The ecological footprint of recreation: Impacts on mountain goat habitat selection

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Understanding the relationship between wildlife and their environment is important to wildlife management. Factors such as human disturbance that influence the behavior of animals have implications for management decisions and are critical to consider in evaluations of wildlife habitat selection.

Unveiling the predator–prey spatial game using multiple habitat selection functions

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract There has been extensive work on the predator–prey spatial game, with a focus on how prey spatially respond to predators and how predators respond spatially to the distribution of various prey. Central to this work is the distinction between actual risk of predation relative to landscape availability and determining what prey perceive as risky

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Containment Structures in Nuclear Power Plants Considering Alkali‐Silica Reaction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1467-1487, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...
