Insect Science, EarlyView.Coloration serves several fitness‐related functions, including thermoregulation, immunity, social signaling, sexual selection, and predator avoidance. Consequently, color polymorphism can have a significant impact on a species’ interactions with its environment, including its relationships with predators, prey, and potential mates. The wood tiger moth (

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...

Commerce, coalitions, and global value chains: Coordinated and collective lobbying on trade
American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Global value chains (GVCs) have connected firms in complex networks within and across national borders. However, political economy models often assume away production linkages and thus fail to explain pervasive and diverse trade coalitions cutting across industries and firms. I develop a GVC‐centered framework where production linkages through

Allergy, EarlyView.Histamine infusions induce reproducible severe hypotension. Intramuscular adrenaline showed ‘supposedly therapeutic’ plasma concentrations but did not produce a sustained clinically relevant improvement in shock in the majority of recipients. These findings question adrenaline pharmacokinetic surrogate thresholds and support the need for faster and ...
