Effects of Anthropogenic Introduction of Substrates on Egg Camouflage and Nesting Success in Ground‐Nesting Birds

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We show that the introduction of artificial substrates, in this case, dredged materials to act as nesting substrate for ground‐nesting birds, reduced the effectiveness of egg camouflage for Kentish plovers compared to natural substrates. However, nesting success was not impacted, likely because the community of nest predators was diverse and used a ...

The Network State, Exit, and the Political Economy of Venture Capital

Antipode, EarlyView.
Abstract This article focuses on the Network State movement as embodying the venture capital (VC) logic of exit. Exit constitutes both a strategy for lucrative returns and an ideology seeking out new territories for financial and technological speculation.

What can lithics tell us about food production during the transition to farming? Exploring harvesting practices and cultural changes during the neolithic in Southwest Asia: a view from Qminas (north‐western Syria)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the continuity and change in harvesting practices between the Late Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (LPPNB) and the Early Pottery Neolithic at Qminas, north‐western Levant, through a traceological analysis of flint sickles. By combining qualitative traceological analysis with quantitative functional approaches, we demonstrate that ...

Information and affective valence influence judgments of complexity, liking and understanding

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Visual complexity is a key factor in perceptual and evaluative judgments. People's representation of visual complexity is constructed from quantitative and structural image features, but it is also influenced by familiarity and expertise. We examined how people represent visual complexity and its impact on perception and evaluation, focusing ...
