Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.

Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

Are Less Affluent People Less Likely to Run for Political Office?

Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract In almost all democracies, elected officials are better off than most of the citizens they represent. Recent research has shown that this descriptive misrepresentation is partly due to voter and party bias against less well‐off candidates. In this paper, we explore a third possible explanation: Are less affluent people less likely to run for ...

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

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.

Moving in Cycles: Explaining the Failure of Militarization to Address Illegal Mining in Ghana

Politics &Policy, Volume 54, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Mining contributes to Ghana's economic growth but also imposes significant social costs—land dispossession and unemployment—which have fueled the rise of illegal mining (galamsey).

Estimating the Stature of an Ancient North Andean Population From Articular Breadths and Diaphyseal Diameters: An Extension of Anzellini and Toyne (2020) Aproximando la Estatura de Poblaciones Norandinas Antiguas Utilizando Medidas de lo Ancho de Articulaciones y Los Diámetros de la Diáfisis: Una Extension de Anzellini y Toyne (2020)

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Stature estimation of skeletal remains is mostly dependent on the lengths of long bones, but these are often unavailable in fragmented or commingled assemblages. To overcome this obstacle, we present an extension of the unisex stature estimation models for high‐altitude Andean populations presented by Anzellini and Toyne (2020) using femoral ...
