The Gradability of ‘Conscious’

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Are some creatures “more conscious” than others? A number of consciousness researchers have aimed to answer this question. Yet some have claimed that this question does not even make sense. They claim that “conscious” (in the phenomenal sense) never occurs as a gradable adjective, meaning an adjective that permits degree expressions (“more f ...

Characterization of salmon‐foraging harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) in the Erimo region, Hokkaido, Japan, using finite mixture models

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.
Finite mixture models revealed that older, larger harbor seals specialize in salmon predation at setnets in Hokkaido, Japan, suggesting targeted management strategies focusing on these specialist individuals could effectively reduce fishery conflicts while protecting the broader seal population.

Epoxidised Natural Rubber (ENR)/Wollastonite Composites for Tyre Inner Liners: A Practical Replacement for Butyl Rubber in Industrial Applications

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 1153-1169, February 2026.
Replacing butyl rubber with ENR+Wollastonite in tyre inner‐liners. ABSTRACT This study aimed to develop epoxidised natural rubber (ENR)‐based rubber compound formulations as an alternative to butyl rubber for tyre inner liners. The effects of different vulcanization systems, designed to achieve similar curing behavior in NR‐based carcass compounds and ...

Invertebrate Biodiversity Associated With a Unique Bryozoan Biogenic Reef Complex (Western Port, Victoria, Australia)

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A unique biogenic bryozoan reef has been recently discovered in Western Port (a temperate embayment), Victoria, Australia. This reef is significant owing to its contiguous, regular, linear rows of densely stacked bryozoan colonies with large vertical relief. We aimed to (1) document the biodiversity of the macroinvertebrate epifauna associated

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.
