The Role of Geography, Diet, and Host Phylogeny on the Gut Microbiome in the Hawaiian Honeycreeper Radiation

Ecology and Evolution
The animal gut microbiome can have a strong influence on the health, fitness, and behavior of its hosts. The composition of the gut microbial community can be influenced by factors such as diet, environment, and evolutionary history (phylosymbiosis ...

Dead Capital or Preserved Heritage? Evaluating the Uniform Partition of Heirs' Property Act's Effect on Land Development

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heirs' property, land passed down informally without a clear title, poses significant economic challenges due to the tragedy of the anti‐commons. This study examines the impact of the Uniform Partition of Heirs' Property Act (UPHPA) on land use patterns in U.S. counties with high concentrations of heirs' property.

Field evaluations of thermal optics and tracking tunnels for small mammal surveys at airports and grass dominated habitats

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Small mammal survey tools are needed at airports to help inform aircraft strike‐risk management. We evaluated thermal optics and tracking tunnels as small mammal survey tools. We conclude that thermal optics would not be a viable survey tool for mouse‐sized mammals (19‐41 g) at airfields and other thick grass habitats unless grass height was maintained

Rapid loss, and slow recovery, of coral reef structural complexity resulting from a prolonged marine heatwave

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using Structure‐from‐Motion photogrammetry in a longitudinal study, we show that although coral reef habitat complexity had declined significantly by the end of the most prolonged tropical marine heatwave on record, no further losses were detected and 3 years later the reef had begun to recover this critical ecosystem function.

Cumulative trophic curves elucidate tropical coral reef ecosystems

Frontiers in Marine Science
There are few generalizable patterns in ecology, with widespread observations and predictability. One possible generalizable pattern is the cumulative trophic theory, which consistently exhibits S-curves of cumulative biomass over trophic level (TL) for ...

Crisis micro‐learning: A framework for understanding the micro‐flow of policy learning and Australia's COVID‐19 response

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract COVID‐19 has intensified interest in crisis policy learning, yet the micro‐level interactions among political, bureaucratic, and expert actors remain underexplored. We conceptualise an ideal‐type framework for the micro‐flow of crisis learning, an ordinarily epistemic and context‐specific process of individual‐level interactions, where lessons

Sri Lankan chronicles, Chinese pilgrims and the nineteenth‐century hierarchy of texts in the construction of early Buddhist geography*

Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.
This article examines how nineteenth‐century scholars reconstructed the geography of early Buddhism through a historically contingent hierarchy of texts that privileged Chinese monastic travelogues over Sri Lankan Buddhist chronicles. Focusing on the relationship between the Pāli vaṃsa literature—especially the Dīpavaṃsa and Mahāvaṃsa—and Chinese ...

The Association of Medicaid Estate Recovery with Homeownership, Home Equity, and Medicaid Enrollment

The Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.
Policy Points This study examines the association between the implementation of Medicaid estate recovery and homeownership, home equity, and Medicaid enrollment among low‐income adults. Estate recovery is associated with a decrease in Medicaid enrollment among unmarried, low‐income older adults and a decrease in home equity overall and among Black ...

Firearms as a Market‐Driven Epidemic: Potential Pathways to Reduce Preventable Firearm‐Related Harm in the United States

The Milbank Quarterly, EarlyView.
Policy Points For half a century, firearm‐related deaths and injuries have been endemic in the United States, with COVID‐19 contributing to a record high of 48,830 deaths in 2021, an epidemic rate increase. By 2023, national trends masked a significant 10‐fold difference in firearm‐related death rates among states.
