Technological Frames of Reference and Conceptions of Workers' Agency: A New Framework From UK Warehousing

New Technology, Work and Employment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the diverse assumptions and priorities that managers and technology developers assign to workplace technologies in UK warehousing. Rooted in labour process theory (LPT), and its concern for worker agency and management control, it addresses a need for finer‐grained theorisations of management and developer agency in ...

Defecation in preparation for ecdysis drives microplastic clearance in cricket nymphs

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
In preparation for ecdysis, cricket nymphs cease feeding and gradually clear their gut contents via frass production, which removes most ingested MPs from their digestive tract. Following exoskeletal moulting, the foregut lining, including any remaining MPs, is shed and excreted alongside frass approximately 6 h later.

Cognitive Symbionts. Expanding the Scope of Cognitive Science With Fungi

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been argued that fungi have cognitive capacities, and even conscious experiences. While these arguments risk ushering in unproductive disputes about how words like “mind,” “cognitive,” “sentient,” and “conscious” should be used, paying close attention to key properties of fungal life can also be uncontroversially productive for ...

From structural repair to biomechanical compatibility: Aortic stiffness after open and endovascular aortic repair

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evaluation of aortic repair has traditionally prioritised perioperative safety, exclusion of the diseased segment and durability. As endovascular treatment expands to younger patients, attention is turning towards the biomechanical compatibility of prosthetic grafts with the native aorta.

Sketchiness and trust: On the effort to write nonhuman animals

Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract My tip offers a technique for rendering as subjects—“who,” not “what”—the nonhuman interlocutors of multi‐species ethnography. This involves a particular mode of description which I theorize as “sketchy,” because the process resembles drawing in that it is accretive; prioritizes sensory witnessing; and insists on leaving evident the ...
