‘There Has Been a Scandal’: Cultural Performers and the Strangers’ Churches of London

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite what one might assume to have been a rigid line between London's refugee community—with its strict brand of Protestantism—and the city's performance cultures—often the target of strict Protestants' ire—historical records reveal a number of overlaps between those domains.

Living in the Mycelial World

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

International Graduates' Stay Rate, Country‐Level Economic Differences and Social Networks: Evidence From 25 European Countries

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Education, Volume 61, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the relationship between the stay rate of international university graduates, economic characteristics of their origin and destination countries, and proxies of their social networks. It contributes to the literature by jointly testing predictions of the neoclassical and migration network theories using regression ...

Considering International Higher Education in China: An Exploratory Study of International MBA Students' Motivations

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Education, Volume 61, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent disruptions to cross‐border mobility, alongside shifting geopolitical and economic conditions, have intensified interests in “off‐beat” study destinations beyond the traditional Anglophone Global North. China has become a key case for understanding international students' considerations of alternative destinations and programmes.

Effects of Beech Wood Dimensions and Quality on Edge-Glued Boards Yield

open access: yesBioResources
The production of edge-glued boards is one of the possibilities of using European beech wood for products with higher added value. European beech is highly abundant in the forests of Central Europe, but it is a wood species that has specific ...

Chromatic Contrast Alone Does Not Predict Predation Risk in the Longhorn Beetle Rosalia alpina

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Prey colouration can affect predation risk, yet the function of the striking blue‐and‐black pattern of the longhorn beetle Rosalia alpina has not been tested experimentally. By combining reflectance measurements, visual modelling of potential avian predators and field experiments with plasticine models, we show that chromatic contrast alone does not ...

Onshore Wind Energy Development Causes Localized but Lasting Shifts in Plant Community Composition and Function

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The effects of wind power plants on surrounding vegetation remain poorly understood. Vegetation surveys at three Norwegian wind power plants commissioned 4, 12, and 19 years ago showed that roads caused shifts in plant functional strategies toward species with ruderal strategies.

Colonisation potential of the bark beetle (Taphrorychus bicolor) on beech logs and logging residues: ecological context and implications for pest management in forests

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6628-6637, July 2026.
Beech residues left in shaded or semi‐shaded conditions pose a substantial risk of local Taphrorychus bicolor population outbreaks. The rapid removal or placement of residues in sun‐exposed locations can help mitigate this risk. Abstract BACKGROUND The bark beetle Taphrorychus bicolor has been traditionally classified as a secondary pest of European ...

Generalist passerine birds perform a functional role as pollinators in temperate Europe

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Nectar‐feeding birds are effective pollinators. In temperate Europe, songbirds visit flowers but lack specialist traits, so functional pollination has been discounted. We use observations, pollen identification and experiments to demonstrate that generalist birds affect fruit‐set of flowering trees.
