Body surface temperatures as biomarkers of physiological environmental adaptation in wild birds and mammals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 336-363, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The ability of individuals to cope with their environment, and therefore the likelihood that they survive and pass on their genes (i.e. fitness), is largely determined by physiological state. Tracking physiological state in wild animals, however, is challenging.

Vegetation biomass and landscape context influence web‐building spider dietary breadth in urban vacant lots

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 126-140, February 2026.
Spider dietary breadth and overlap increased with imperviousness, suggesting that prey and spiders are concentrating in vacant lots in these landscapes. Higher vegetation biomass, which results from reduced mowing frequency, was associated with increased dietary breadth and shared prey between spiders.

Cover Bills

open access: yesLegislative Studies Quarterly, Volume 51, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Legislators sometimes vote on bills that fail but, in the process, allow lawmakers to take an extreme position before ultimately voting to compromise. We call these proposals Cover Bills. Through two survey experiments, we show that primary voters are more supportive of a compromiser if that legislator first votes for a cover bill.
