Mergers and Acquisitions as Navigators of Climate Policy Shocks: Evidence from the NOx Budget Trading Program

open access: yesFinancial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how mergers and acquisitions (M&As) enable firms to adapt to climate policy shocks. Exploiting the adoption of the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Budget Trading Program (NBP) across US states as an exogenous shock, we find that firms with NOx‐emitting plants subject to the NBP are more likely to engage in M&As, particularly through vertical ...

Herbaceous plant communities respond more to seasonal precipitation than cumulative drought in the hot deserts of the United States

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Using a 4‐year drought experiment in the hot deserts of the US, we found that herbaceous plant communities were more sensitive to seasonal precipitation than to the cumulative effects of drought. Abstract The hot deserts of the southwestern United States are experiencing increased frequency, severity, and duration of drought due to anthropogenic ...

Narrating Entanglement Without Dehumanisation in Contemporary Eco‐Fiction

open access: yesFuture Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This essay presents a comparative analysis of two contemporary works of eco‐fiction, Richard Powers's The Overstory (2018) and Eleanor Catton's Birnam Wood (2023). Both novels use multiperspective narration in the service of entanglement narratives, forms of storytelling that emphasise the interconnection of human and nonhuman life.

Precocial Weaning Influences Anxiety, Social and Maternal Care but Not Cognition in African Striped Mice, Rhabdomys dilectus chakae

open access: yesDevelopmental Psychobiology, Volume 68, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Weaning is a stressful stage in the lives of young mammals. Early weaning, in particular, can lead to long‐lasting physiological and psychological changes. We investigated the effects of precocial weaning on anxiety, social behavior, cognition, and maternal behavior in adult African four‐striped mice (Rhabdomys dilectus chakae). Mice weaned at

Seismic Enhancement of Masonry‐Infilled Substandard Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Lightweight Steel Exoskeleton

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...
