Genetic Diversity and Impacts of Stocking on Cyprinus carpio Populations in Türkiye: Insights From Mitochondrial, Nuclear, and Microsatellite Markers

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding genetic diversity and population structure is essential for the sustainable management of widely stocked freshwater species such as common carp (Cyprinus carpio). In this study, we conducted a comprehensive genetic assessment of C.

Fine‐scale genetic structure in co‐operatively breeding Palmchats (Dulus dominicus) suggests mixed kinship in compound nests

Ibis, EarlyView.
Fine‐scale genetic structure in animal populations can create opportunities for both kin‐directed co‐operation and kin competition. Knowledge of kinship is therefore key to understanding the selective pressures shaping sociality as well as the effects of social behaviour on local genetic structure.

Linking Error Estimation in Stocking–Lord Linking

Foundations
Stocking–Lord (SL) linking is a widely used linking method based on item response theory (IRT). This article examines the variability in SL linking parameter estimates within the two-parameter logistic (2PL) model.

The Decentralization of Liquor Policies in Texas During the Post‐Prohibition Era

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the decentralization of liquor policies in Texas during the Post‐Prohibition era using newly collected historical legislative roll call data. By combining these data with local referendum vote shares, we analyze both legislators' and constituents' preferences on liquor policy.

Rhododendron diversity patterns provide new insights for conserving China's montane flora

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrating distribution, phylogenetic, and functional trait data for 603 Rhododendron species in China identified significant conservation hotspots of multidimensional diversity, particularly in the Hengduan Mountains. Climate seasonality and topographic heterogeneity jointly influenced these patterns; however, notable conservation gaps remained ...

Banks of a Feather: The Informational Advantage of Being Alike

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract Banks lend more to banks that are similar to them. Using data from the German credit register and proprietary supervisory data on the quality of banks' loan portfolio, we show that a similar portfolio of the lending and borrowing bank helps to overcome information asymmetries in interbank markets.

Bank Competition Amid Digital Disruption: Implications for Financial Inclusion

The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how digital disruption affects bank competition using the staggered rollout of 3G mobile networks. 3G expansion increased mobile banking adoption among tech‐savvy households, reducing branch networks—especially in younger counties.

Prediction of the Potential Geographical Distribution of the Woolly Whitefly <i>Aleurothrixus floccosus</i> (Maskell) on Sweet Orange. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
ABSTRACT Aleurothrixus floccosus is an exotic pest that poses a serious threat to sweet orange, both through direct and indirect damage. Climate change is one of the most important factors that facilitate the distribution and occurrence of species. We focused on the Ethiopian context because there was no localized data for this invasive pest. Thus, the

Phylogenomics of the American robin (Turdus migratorius) reveals hidden lineages and introgression

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Phylogenomic analyses of Turdus migratorius uncover four previously unrecognized lineages, including a divergent Baja California lineage (T. m. confinis). The results reveal complex evolutionary relationships that depart from simple models of continuous divergence, supported by evidence of introgression between the Mexican lineage and its previously ...
