Children &Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mentalisation and symbolisation are important processes to support children in understanding their lived experience. By expressing what is most salient to them through pretend play, children can normally develop their capacity to mentalise and symbolise, which helps them cope with adversity.

Propfan Test Assessment (PTA) [PDF]
The objectives of the Propfan Test Assessment (PTA) Program were to validate in flight the structural integrity of large-scale propfan blades and to measure noise characteristics of the propfan in both near and far fields. All program objectives were met

A more‐than‐human political ecology of Indonesian songbird trade
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Since its inception, conservation science has considered wildlife trade a problem. In focusing on conservation outcomes, conservationists almost completely ignore the welfare of traded animals and plants and the harms they endure. We developed a political ecology approach that incorporates the interconnectedness of people with animals and ...

Ecologization Is Not a Metaphor: Museums in the Web of Life
Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article documents and critiques emerging accounts of museum “ecologization”. Drawing on political ecology, materialist theory, and contemporary museum practice, we challenge dominant frameworks of ecological modernization and advocate for a more critical understanding of museums in the web of life.

Behavioural responses to radio‐tag attachment in butterflies: Evidence for active tag removal
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.During controlled indoor flight experiments with 89 butterflies from eight tropical species, we monitored behavioural responses to dorsally attached radio tags using high‐speed video recordings. Four of 39 Morpho helenor exhibited coordinated abdominal flexion and hind leg movements directed toward the tag antenna during flight; in two individuals this

Active adhesion improves adaptive flight for feathered wings
Abstract Birds change the shape of their wings to adapt to dynamic environments, such as dense cities and forests. Engineers have explored using avian-informed designs with feather-based wing morphing to achieve similar capabilities with small aircraft.
