Modified vehicle lighting reduces wildlife collision risk by enhancing deer and wild pig avoidance responses at night

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Generally, LED headlights had neutral or beneficial effects on wildlife responses, suggesting they could reduce collisions given the increased illumination levels they provide drivers. Additionally, our results support previous research indicating increased frontal vehicle illumination can reduce dangerous encounters with wildlife. Our findings suggest

Autoclaved Peanuts Exhibit Reduced Immunoglobulin E Binding and Improved Oral Tolerability

open access: yesAllergy, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 2133-2144, June 2026.
This study evaluates the effects of heat and pressure autoclaving on peanut proteins, IgE binding, and oral tolerability. Heat and pressure autoclaving breaks down peanut proteins and allergens, contributing to reduced peanut‐specific IgE binding. Autoclaved peanuts are associated with decreased skin test reactivity and greater oral tolerability in ...

Baradian Ways With Words and Their Ethical Implications for Sociolinguistics

open access: yesJournal of Sociolinguistics, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 334-340, June 2026.
ABSTRACT My response addresses the relationship between scholarly writing practices (in sociolinguistics) and ethics as response‐ability, approached through Barad's unique ways with words. Barad's work is based on the entanglement of ethics, ontology, and epistemology—ethico‐onto‐epistemology—which aligns with relational views of ontology and ethics ...
