Selecting for Seed Size Diversity Can Support a Variety of Plant Colonization Strategies in Caatinga Restoration

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed traits offer valuable insights into colonization strategies under climatic unpredictability. In seasonally dry tropical forests, such traits help explain species adaptations to water availability, which is critical for effective restoration.

Outcomes of Trophy Hunting for People and Nature in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Trophy hunting is one of the most contested conservation activities. There is mounting pressure in the Global North for policy changes that would dramatically curtail the activity across Africa. We synthesized research from 89 peer‐reviewed papers that assessed the impact of trophy hunting on nature and local people across 13 sub‐Saharan ...

Evidence Centered Design: The Contribution of Bob Mislevy in Advancing Validity Theory

Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, Volume 45, Issue 3, Fall 2026.
Abstract Bob Mislevy's conception of evidence‐centered design (ECD) is one of the major contributions to modern validity theory. Building on prior work in psychometrics, philosophy, legal reasoning, and statistics, ECD is a generative framework developed to support the principled design or redesign and scaling of both existing and emerging assessment ...

Direct Policy Search for a Risk‐Based Levee Design Framework With Scenario Reduction

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Risk‐based management of coastal flood risk using realistic, process‐based models poses computational challenges, particularly when addressing uncertainties like sea‐level rise. This study explores the use of direct policy search (DPS) as a state‐dependent, adaptive decision‐making approach for upgrading levee systems.

Soft tissue abnormalities in the congenital limb malformation radial dysplasia (RD): Their clinical impact and treatment significance

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 457-475, September 2026.
We review the characteristic changes to the limb soft tissue and neurovascular abnormalities that have been described in the congenital limb birth defect, Radial Dysplasia. These include consistent changes in muscle anatomy or absence of specific muscles, persistent median arteries and absent radial arteries and consistent alterations in neural ...

Fatigue and Cognitive Impairment in Adults With Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis: Results From Concept Elicitation Interviews

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims To understand the experience of fatigue and cognitive impairment in adults with symptomatic primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) as an essential first step towards developing PSC‐specific symptom measures. Methods Purposeful sampling was used to identify 17 symptomatic adults from the PSC Symptom Assessment Project who met ...
