Agile Construction and Evolution of Product-Line Architectures

, 2012
Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) has proved to have significant advantages in family-based software development, but also implies the up¬front design of a product-line architecture (PLA) from which individual product applications can be ...

Museomics Deciphers the Phylogeographic Differentiation and Conservation Status of a Montane Pheasant

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...

Conservation implications of low contemporary connectivity along the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge in hydrothermal vent gastropods

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Polymetallic sulfide deposits produced at hydrothermal vent fields are targets for mining exploitation along the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, threatening the functioning and resilience of vent ecosystems that provide multiple ecosystem services. Knowledge about connectivity between vents will inform conservation practices.

Hermit beetle (Osmoderma barnabita) habitat selection and movement are shaped by tree microhabitat availability in Eastern Romanian Carpathians

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We conducted the first radio‐tracking study on Osmoderma barnabita to examine the movement ecology and habitat selection in the Eastern Carpathians. A female recorded the longest movement distance and had larger home ranges than males. It showed a preference for Quercus petraea, with wood mould cavities and DBH as key predictors.

Assessing Argument Quality in L2 Argumentative Writing: Integrating Argument Elements and Intellectual Standards

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many existing rubrics for L2 argumentative writing prioritize form‐based linguistic accuracy and complexity while insufficiently addressing substantive argumentative rigor and effectiveness. This limitation is further complicated by cross‐cultural variation in rhetorical conventions and educational practices, which challenge the direct ...

Genes, fish and fisheries: translating science into policy

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The 2024 Annual Symposium of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles reviewed the burgeoning impact of ‘omics’ technologies on fish ecology, management and forecasting. As with life sciences more generally, major advances in speed, cost‐effectiveness and breadth of applications in ‘omics’ has had profound societal and environmental impacts.

Quantitative insights into the spatio‐temporal variation of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) biomass in a river catchment using eDNA metabarcoding

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective species conservation and management requires comprehensive biomonitoring, enhanced by combining traditional and newer methodologies, such as environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses. A seasonal pulse of spawning adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) was detected by normalised eDNA 12S reads from metabarcoding, which facilitated estimation of ...

Reproductive parameters of wild and hatchery‐reared sea trout (Salmo trutta m. trutta L.) females from the Łeba River (southern Baltic Sea)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sea trout Salmo trutta m. trutta L. has high socioeconomic and ecological importance in the Atlantic region; therefore, stocking hatchery‐reared fish is widely practiced for stock enhancement and recovery of wild populations. In this study, fecundity of wild and stocked hatchery‐reared sea trout sampled from the Łeba River (southern Baltic Sea

DNA extracted from boiled archival fish bones yields high‐quality whole‐genome sequencing data

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Archival samples provide a unique source of organismal DNA, offering the potential to extend the temporal scale of genetic studies by decades to centuries. Fish hard structures, such as otoliths and scales, serve as records for fish collected during fisheries monitoring across a large spatiotemporal scale.

A Theory of Leadership Meta‐Talk and the Talking‐Doing Gap

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract We identify managers' meta‐level talk about the positive purpose, meaning, and significance of their actions as an overlooked type of leadership behaviour and call it leadership meta‐talk. We outline why leadership meta‐talk is not necessarily truthful or deceptive, but selective and loosely coupled with leadership practice.
