Beyond Groups? Consociational Culture and the Representation of Cross‐Segmental Interests

open access: yesSwiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract In deeply divided societies, consociational power‐sharing ensures representation for ethnonational groups but raises questions about cross‐segmental interests. This paper explores “consociational culture,” arguing that consociational systems create a form of political culture which incentivises the use of group‐based categories and identities ...

Representativeness and Mode Effects in the Swiss Election Study (Selects): Are Paper Surveys Still Relevant?

open access: yesSwiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Web‐based surveys have gained popularity due to their cost‐effectiveness and changing participation habits, a trend accelerated by the COVID‐19 pandemic. This raises questions about the continued value of paper‐based surveys in mixed‐mode studies like the Swiss Election Study (Selects), which uses a push‐to‐web design, offering a paper ...

Everyday Discrimination as a Driver of Political Protest Among the Lower Social Class: Evidence from Germany

open access: yesSwiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This research note investigates how discriminatory experiences shape political protest behaviour among lower social class citizens. While prior studies show that discrimination mobilises ethnic and racial minorities toward protest, the political consequences of class‐based discrimination remain underexplored.

Tolerability and Feasibility of Minimally Invasive Canine Skin Sampling: Excellent Tolerability Meets Transcriptomic Challenges

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 375-385, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Advances in transcriptomics have driven the demand for minimally invasive, reproducible and high‐yield skin sampling methods, particularly for studying inflammatory skin diseases in companion animals. Hypothesis/Objectives We tested tolerability, feasibility and RNA quantity and quality of three minimally invasive skin sampling ...

Foraging plasticity and physiological adaptations enable hummingbirds to subsist on dilute nectars

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1475-1490, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Hummingbirds frequently feed on small volumes (<30 μL) of sucrose‐rich nectars. Climate change is expected to affect both the abundance and the concentrations of accumulated nectar.

Passive environmental DNA sampling: A review of current practices, limitations and future directions for biodiversity monitoring

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1535-1555, May 2026.
Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.

A novel approach for distinguishing noise and information in forest MLS‐point clouds

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1595-1605, May 2026.
Abstract 3D laser scanning is a cornerstone of modern forest and ecological research, allowing detailed insight into forest structures and dynamics. Although point cloud processing and noise management are crucial steps in the exploitation of LiDAR data, traditional denoising methods are usually based on the assumption of a Gaussian noise distribution,
