Premarital Cohabitation and Intimate Partner Violence in Urban China: Evidence From Beijing

Journal of Marriage and Family, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study contributes to the emerging literature on cohabitation and marital outcomes in urban China by examining the associations between premarital cohabitation and six types of intimate partner violence (IPV). Background Premarital cohabitation has been on the rise, yet its evolving meanings and long‐term implications for post ...

Liana versus tree seedling responses to spatial and temporal variation in dry season severity

Ecosphere
Lianas are key components of tropical forests, particularly at sites with more severe dry seasons. In contrast, trees are more abundant and speciose in wetter areas.

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Stilbenoids in Lianas of Gnetum parvifolium.

Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2001
Five new stilbene dimers were isolated from the lianas of Gnetum parvifolium in addition to known stilbenoids. The structures of the compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic evidence, including long-range coupling and nuclear Overhauser effect experiments, in NMR spectrum.

Invasive plants optimize leaf nitrogen allocation in photosynthesis

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Invasive plants often outcompete co‐occurring native species by expressing acquisitive functional traits that promote high photosynthetic capacity. However, it remains unclear whether these traits are newly evolved in the introduced (‘away’) range or if invaders arrived preadapted with superior traits from their native (‘home’) range.

Limited drought tolerance in the neotropical seasonally dry forest plants impairs future species richness

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Global climate change will likely modify the plant assemblages of the Neotropical seasonally dry forest based on the physiological capabilities of the species. Abstract Neotropical seasonal dry forest (NSDF) is one of the most threatened ecosystems according to global climate change predictions.

When does the story end? Presence, the present and ‘the contemporary world’

The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract We write and read ethnography in the wake of time passing: a fact that has long thrown up a host of epistemological and ethical issues for the doing of anthropology. In this essay I revisit this classic problem—the problem of the ethnographic present—asking what happens when we rethink the relationship between ‘the present’ and ‘presence’, the
