Weather, EarlyView.
In summer 2023 in southern England, several unusual balloon launches were observed which descended for a few minutes before resuming ascent. This unusual vertical oscillation was repeated several times in a ‘roller‐coaster’‐like pattern. This article discusses the behaviour of the balloons.

A Novel Full‐Chain Loop Tracking Auditing Framework for Obtaining Audit Evidence With Reasonable Assurance

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As an attestation engagement, auditing is required to provide reasonable assurance for its conclusions. Traditional auditing has limited capacity to handle unstructured data and is usually based on audit sampling techniques, which can lead to the neglect of important audit evidence during the auditing process and result in a higher audit risk,

Beyond first clutches: Second broods reshape selection on breeding timing in forest and urban great tits

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Most studies of selection on breeding timing consider only first clutches. Using a 13‐year dataset of urban and forest great tits, we show that including second broods reshapes estimates of natural selection, revealing that early breeding is favoured through increased probability of multiple brooding and higher annual reproductive output.

The Development of Indo‐Iranian Voiced Fricatives

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 97-115, March 2025.
Abstract The development of voiced sibilants is a long‐standing puzzle in Indo‐Iranian historical phonology. In Vedic, all voiced sibilants are lost from the system, but the details of this loss are complex and subject to debate. The most intriguing development concerns the word‐final ‐aḥ to ‐o in sandhi.

The Gender of Fossil Fuels: Oil and Domestic Perils in Mandate Palestine

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the gender dynamics behind the rise of kerosene – an oil derivative – as the main domestic fuel in Mandate Palestine. It argues that these dynamics were constitutive in determining who began to use oil, where and for what purposes, in turn demonstrating that women in Palestine were the promoters and targets of a campaign ...

Standardised Methods for Developing Conceptual Frameworks for Placental Disorders of Pregnancy: Pre‐Eclampsia and Stillbirth

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Risk factors for the placental disorders of pregnancy (pre‐eclampsia, fetal growth restriction, preterm birth, and stillbirth) are complex, frequently involving the interplay between clinical factors and wider social and environmental determinants of health.

Cautionary Tales for Science‐Based Policy in Deep‐Sea Mining Governance

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how low‐certainty scientific claims permeate high‐stakes policy debates before rigorous validation. Using deep‐sea mining governance as a focal domain, the study traces high‐visibility narratives, including the “dark oxygen” hypothesis, radioactive risks of polymetallic nodules, projected impacts of sediment plume ...

Does Audit Committee Training Increase Audit Effort?

Abacus, EarlyView.
Extensive literature has examined audit committee (AC) characteristics, including members’ prior experience and qualifications. However, much of this research uses static proxies for human capital, overlooking the potential for AC members to enhance their skills over time. In this study, we examine both the determinants and consequences of AC training.

Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Rural land rental markets in developing countries: Can survey design innovations improve land market participation statistics?

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract A longstanding puzzle in the African land rental market literature is the often‐observed discrepancy between the number of tenants (renters‐in) and the much smaller number of landlords (renters‐out) in survey data. If this discrepancy derives from systematic biases in survey data responses on rental market participation, then the existing body
