Different demographic drivers of recovery in two adjacent populations of a long‐lived bird of prey

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the demographic mechanisms underlying population decline or recovery is critical for conservation and management, yet similar population trends may arise from very different underlying processes. Comparing populations of vulnerable species groups like long‐lived raptors in different environments can reveal how species respond to change ...

Evaluating Testability of Permafrost Models Through Physical and Thermal Testing in Complex Mountain Terrain, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

A Combination of Alleles in LMOD2 and a lncRNA is Strongly Associated With Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT A previous genome‐wide association study identified regions on canine chromosome (cfa) 13 and 14 associated with early onset myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS). In the present study, whole genome sequencing (WGS) of 9 CKCS cases (mitral regurgitation (MR) before 4.5 years or congestive heart failure

Peri‐urban agroforestry for climate mitigation in West Africa: Structural diversity and functional traits as key drivers of carbon storage

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Peri‐urban areas in West Africa are expanding rapidly, often with limited planning and growing exposure to climate risks. Our study shows that agroforestry systems in these landscapes, especially diverse home gardens, can store substantial amounts of carbon when they include structurally complex stands and species with traits that favor biomass ...

Empowering Consumer Participation in Energy Systems: A Comprehensive Analysis of Consumer Archetypes and Their Satisfaction Metrics in Germany

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Active consumer participation is widely regarded as a key enabler of the energy transition, with emerging digital technologies creating new opportunities for engagement. However, these technologies only contribute to sustainable development if they are perceived as beneficial by diverse consumer groups.

Designing “Korean” Kimchi: Speculative Configuration of Distance and Commodity Value in the Chinese Kimchi Industry

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Chinese kimchi industry, manufacturers employ product names, photographs, and logistical strategies to promote their kimchi's “Koreanness.” So, what makes their kimchi “Korean,” and how does its Koreanness formulate kimchi's commodity value?

Livestock grazing and geodiversity modulate wild herbivore distributions in an African community conservation area

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The rapid decline of African wildlife populations demands immediate action to mitigate further losses and restore ecosystems. A key factor influencing wildlife distribution is the relationship between the energetic needs of species and the availability of forage, both in terms of quality and quantity.

Does the Rule of Law Require the Separation of Powers?

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
The separation of powers is an enigmatic political ideal, particularly in the context of the modern administrative state, in which administrative officials routinely perform a combination of legislative, judicial, and executive functions. In this article we reexamine this ideal by interrogating Adrian Vermeule's provocative claim that the separation of
