Host response to conspecific brood parasitism in colonial red‐breasted mergansers Mergus serrator: positioning of parasitic eggs within the clutch

Journal of Avian Biology
Brood parasitism can be costly to host fitness, which in turn may favour host strategies that decrease these costs. Duck (Anatinae) nests are often parasitized by eggs of other ducks, and one way that hosts can respond to potentially costly brood ...

How Aware Are Consumers of Water Used in Agri‐Food Products? Exploring the Misconception Between the Perceived and the Actual Water Footprint

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the environmental impact of food production is critical to promoting sustainable consumption patterns. This study explores the gap between consumers' perceived water footprint (PWF) and the actual water footprint (AWF) of selected agri‐food products in Italy, including crop‐ and animal‐based products. A survey conducted through a

Perceived eggshell luminance does not predict rejection of experimental egg models in eastern bluebirds

Journal of Avian Biology
Obligate avian brood parasites lay their eggs in other bird species' nests, leaving these hosts to rear the parasitic young. To eliminate or reduce the costs of parasitism, many hosts have evolved the ability to recognize and reject parasitic eggs, and ...

Platform competition and strategic trade‐offs for complementors: Heterogeneous reactions to the entry of a new platform

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary We study how the entry of a rival platform affects the strategies of the incumbent's complementors. The latter face a trade‐off: While the entry threatens their benefits from indirect network effects, it also allows them to escape intense within‐platform competition.

“There is a Place for Us Here”: Exploring Sex, Gender, Reproduction, Sexual Behavior, and Orientation Narratives Supporting Students With Queer Genders in Biology Courses

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Queer undergraduates describe a climate in STEM fields and classrooms that is both hostile to and silent on queer identities, leading to experiences of social exclusion, devaluation as a scientist, and discrimination. In the few studies that have specifically focused on trans and non‐binary undergraduates (i.e., students with queer genders ...

Oriental reed warblers retain strong egg recognition abilities during the nestling stage

Ecology and Evolution
Egg recognition and rejection are the most common and effective anti‐parasitic strategies against avian brood parasitism in terms of maintaining stability over time and plasticity in response to environmental cues.

Individuality and the account of non-locality: the case for the particle ontology in quantum physics [PDF]

, 2017
The paper explains why an ontology of permanent point particles that are individuated by their relative positions and that move on continuous trajectories as given by a deterministic law of motion constitutes the best solution to the measurement problem ...
