Genetic population structure of red foxes Vulpes vulpes across a rural landscape: insights into population connectivity and spatial patterns

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human activities have shaped and are continuing to influence terrestrial landscapes, creating heterogenous, and often, fragmented landscapes. Generalist species, like the red fox Vulpes vulpes, show high flexibility in habitat use, and occur across the heterogeneous, anthropogenic landscapes of central Europe.

Relationship between spatial and social phenotypes in an avian scavenger

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
A method is applied to distinguish interaction rates that would be expected given animals' movements from those that exceed expected values due to incidental contact. The relationship between space use and both observed and non‐incidental social network position varies between social situations.

Entrepreneurial Orientation Under Female Family Leadership: Zooming in on Only‐child CEOs and Generational Dynamics in Family Firms

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper revisits the entrepreneurial orientation–performance relationship in family firms by examining why entrepreneurial orientation yields uneven performance returns. Drawing on entrepreneurial orientation research, upper echelons theory and gender role theory, we argue that the effectiveness of entrepreneurial orientation depends on the

Field Emergence From Diverse Origins: History, Heterogeneity and the Evolution of UK Business Schools

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract This article revisits the view that UK business schools emerged as late and imitative responses to American models. Drawing on archival evidence and a longitudinal dataset of 130 institutions, it shows that the field developed incrementally from diverse origins, including mechanics’ institutes, civic universities, colleges of commerce and ...

‘Reinventing’ the Beach? Lessons from a Local Development Plan in the French Riviera

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Coastal squeeze is now so tangible both globally and locally that the focus of scientific debate has expanded from the erosion of beaches to the risk of their disappearance. In this context, it is crucial to explore local development plans that aim to preserve the long‐term existence of a beach.

The Origins of the Human Rights Act: A ‘British Bill of Rights’ the First Time Around

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article reconstructs the first initiatives for a British Bill of Rights from the late 1960s to the mid‐1980s and argues that their failure shaped the eventual form of the Human Rights Act. Proposals for a Bill of Rights emerged across the political spectrum, but commanded most support on the right as a means of restraining trade unions ...

The morphological affinities of the fossil cranium from Kabua, Kenya Affinités morphologiques du crâne fossile de Kabua (Kenya)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our current understanding of the origins of Homo sapiens is limited, in part, by the fragmented fossil record from Late Pleistocene and early Holocene Africa. Here, we re‐examine the Kabua 1 cranium, an enigmatic and little‐studied Kenyan fossil discovered in the 1950s. We compare virtual reconstructions created previously by our team with a wide range

Catenary Mooring Length Control for Motion Mitigation of Semi-Submersible Floating Wind Turbines

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Besides improving the generator torque and blade pitch controller, incorporating additional control actuations, such as a vibration absorber and active ballast, into the floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) system is also promising for the motion ...
