Fine‐scale spatial variation in eastern grey squirrel melanism across a complex urban landscape

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 9, Page 1778-1792, September 2026.
By sampling 197 parks, the study demonstrates how natural geography creates divergence within cities. The findings reveal that the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries act as barriers, disrupting urban melanism clines in grey squirrels. Ultimately, the research indicates that natural features still dictate evolutionary rules in anthropogenic ...

Relatability as a Racialised Construct in Corporate Graduate Recruitment: Revealing a Hidden Mechanism of Labour Market Exclusion for Black African Youth in South Africa

The British Journal of Sociology, Volume 77, Issue 4, Page 812-828, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In corporate graduate recruitment worldwide, candidates are often assessed not only on competence but on whether they are deemed relatable. This study theorises relatability as a racialised cultural–affective filter that covertly sustains inequality. Drawing on qualitative interviews, we identify five interlinked processes of self‐presentation,

Eclipsing Binary Stars: the Royal Road to Stellar Astrophysics

, 2012
Russell (1948) famously described eclipses as the "royal road" to stellar astrophysics. From photometric and spectroscopic observations it is possible to measure the masses and radii (to 1% or better!), and thus surface gravities and mean densities, of ...

The Mutable Original: How Chinese Counterfeits Become Nigerian Originals in African Markets

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 581-594, September 2026.

The Vicissitudes of the Nafs: Madness, Paralysis, and the Work of Transgression in Sufi Ethics

Anthropology of Consciousness, Volume 37, Issue 2, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT How should we theorize Sufi ethics when the practice of zikr (remembrance) that leads to spiritual enlightenment (tazkiyya) might also bring one to the brink of majzubiyat (madness)? What forms of regulation or restraint are imagined or enacted by practitioners to prevent spiritual boundlessness from perverting into its underside of paralysis (

Eclipsing Binary Stars In The Magellanic Clouds

, 2007
Within the next few years eclipsing binaries should yield primary distance measurements for the Magellanic Clouds as well as provide tests of theoretical low-metallicity stellar models.
