Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Disentangling the temporal relationship between alcohol‐related attitudes and heavy episodic drinking in adolescents within a randomized controlled trial

Addiction, Volume 120, Issue 4, Page 645-654, April 2025.
Abstract Background and aims Within many alcohol prevention interventions, changes in alcohol‐related attitudes (ARA) are often proposed as precursors to changes in drinking behaviour. This study aimed to measure the longitudinal relationship between ARA and behaviour during the implementation of a large‐scale prevention trial.

On 3‐MMC: A Cathinone I Have Come to Know and Love

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article attempts to complicate the mythology of a compound in a state of becoming. I will trace lightly its origins as a cultural disruptor and how I am implicated in this imperative. Introducing you to 3‐MMC will require multiple modes of storytelling and taking of liberties, drawing on literature reviews, practice‐based research, prose,

Trajectories of leisure reading for children with literacy difficulties and the role of literacy support: Findings from the UK millennium cohort study

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence suggests leisure reading may be especially important for children with reading difficulties. However, little is known about how their leisure reading evolves over time or how school‐based practices, including targeted literacy support, impact this.

IRT‐based response style models and related methodology: Review and commentary

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We provide a review and commentary on recent methodological research related to item response theory (IRT) modelling of response styles in psychological measurement. Our review describes the different categories of IRT models that have been proposed, their associated assumptions and extensions, and the varying purposes they can serve.

Truncated drumlins and their implication for past sea level reconstructions

Boreas, EarlyView.
Coastal erosion of glacigenic sediments, particularly in the form of retreating drumlin bluffs, is a key process in paraglacial landscape evolution during periods of relative sea‐level (RSL) rise. As marine transgression reworks formerly subaerial glacial terrains, drumlins act as discrete sediment sources generating characteristic erosional and ...

Marxism and Decolonizing Praxis: From Decolonial Misinterpretations to Marxist Contributions

Development and Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article intervenes in postcolonial and decolonial critiques that portray Karl Marx and Marxism as intrinsically Eurocentric and inattentive to race, colonialism and non‐European revolutionary agency. It argues that such critiques often rely on selective, historically limited interpretations that overlook Marx's later writings, in which he
