Looking at a Blind Spot: Using a Longitudinal Population Cohort Study to Examine Inequalities in Child Social Worker Contact Among Mothers Experiencing Domestic Abuse in Scotland

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on inequalities in children's services in the UK highlights a lack of systematic data on parental demographics, obstructing analysis of structural factors influencing children's outcomes. Using Growing Up in Scotland, a nationally representative longitudinal child cohort study of children born in 2004–2005, we investigate social ...

A Simple Grid‐Maps Pipeline: Restructured, Accelerated and Upgraded

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Grid maps – spatially arranged small multiples – are a powerful tool to show complex geospatial data. Meulemans et al. (2020) introduced a pipeline for computing high‐quality grid maps that are shaped roughly according to their containing geographic outlines.

When and why to give shorebirds a head start

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Headstarting is a translocation technique involving the hatching or rearing of wild eggs or young in captivity and the release of those individuals back to the wild at or before independence. It has been trialed as a conservation intervention for shorebirds over recent decades to improve the population trend of target populations by increasing

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

Pest‐preservation paradox among insects

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
The pest‐preservation paradox is a non‐binary perspective that insects range from those that are harmful and requiring management on the one side, to those requiring conservation intervention on the opposite end of the spectrum. Importantly, the vast majority of insects occur somewhere in the center of the two extremes, and their position along the ...

Successful phased‐release reintegration of captive‐origin cheetah for metapopulation supplementation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation programs increasingly require consideration of rehabilitated individuals for translocations to reduce pressure on highly threatened wild populations. This case‐study evaluates the short‐term translocation success of captive‐origin cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) after phased‐release reintegration into the wild in South Africa.

Natural Parasitism of Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) by Trichopoda pictipennis Bigot (Diptera: Tachinidae) in an Organic Strawberry Field in Germany

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Natural parasitism of the invasive southern green stinkbug was recorded in an organic strawberry cropping system in southwestern Germany. The tachinid fly Trichopoda pictipennis shows successful establishment and field activity, indicating ongoing range expansion.

Parasitic wasp‐associated polydnavirus and venom affect arthropod community assembly on wild cabbage via the caterpillar host

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Cotesia glomerata polydnavirus and venom, either alone or in combination, affect colonisation by members of the arthropod community in a natural field setting. Plants damaged by P. brassicae injected with both polydnavirus and venom were colonised more often by Mamestra brassicae caterpillars, Myzus persicae aphids and aphid parasitoids compared to ...

Managing agency business groups, elite directors, and the rubber boom, 1897–1913

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract We identify a new organizational form, the Managing Agency Business Group (MABG), demonstrating how agency houses used interlocking directorships to build groups on the basis of commercial and plantation expertise to access finance on London stock markets and local capital markets in the pre‐1914 rubber boom.

Urban Bats: City Lovers or Refugees?

Ethology, EarlyView.
Hypothetical relationship between urbanisation intensity and bat species population persistence framed through a species refuge concept. Moderately urbanised landscapes may function as temporal refuge zones where habitat heterogeneity and establishment suitability allow some bat species to colonise and persist.
