That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island
Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

maxRgain—An R Package for Maximising Genetic Gains in Polyclonal Selection
Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Polyclonal selection, which was developed in the context of ancient grapevine varieties, uses intravarietal variability to improve the resilience and sustainability of viticulture. Based on quantitative genetics and linear mixed models, this approach predicts genotypic effects to select a group of clones that, as a whole, satisfy target ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seed yield and composition are major targets in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) breeding programmes, but simultaneous improvement is constrained by unfavourable correlations among target traits. In this study, we evaluated the potential of different selection indices to simultaneously improve seed yield and quality traits in soybean.

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.The swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon has a brown‐ and green‐coloured morph, with the brown being more common in the diapausing generation. The darker colouration of brown pupae did not confer advantages for thermoregulation when developing, but they did have lower diapause metabolic rates.
