The Last Word: The Prattling, Tattling Parrots of Popular Lore

The Journal of Popular Culture, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Garrulous parrots appear in a wide array of pop culture forms—from urban legends, television sitcoms, and advertising, to comics, pulp detective fiction, and jokes (naming a few). The birds can be helpful, clever agents; but more often they are mischief makers challenging social norms. Among the pandemonium of parrots in expressive culture, we

Hidden lineages in the African Sky Islands: A taxonomic reevaluation of Afrocarduus (Compositae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Species delimitation is crucial for biodiversity studies. Using Hyb‐Seq and phylogenomics, we reassessed Afrocarduus, endemic to Afromontane and Afroalpine regions, uncovering 16 evolutionary lineages (2.3 Mya). Morphological data support their distinctiveness, with acaulescence evolving independently twice. The traditionally broad A.

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

How to make people do things with words

Noûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Sometimes we do what other people tell us to. A natural thought is that the motivation to act on an instruction comes about rationally as the result of interpreting an imperative and deciding to act on it; that is, by updating on information that gets mediated through belief‐desire reasoning.

Harnessing the benefits of herbarium specimen digitisation for inferring recent and ongoing plant extinctions

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Evidence for the ongoing biodiversity crisis rests on assessment of a small fraction of described species, with major knowledge gaps for most organisms, including plants. Here, we highlight how digitised herbarium specimens can be used to accelerate and improve estimates of recent and ongoing plant extinctions.

Ips acuminatus (Gyllenhal) in the Czech Republic: Flight dynamics and adult population structure

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Ips acuminatus exhibits a univoltine life cycle in Central Europe and no full second generation in midsummer. The sex ratio shifts from male‐biased in spring to slightly female‐biased with the season, with over 90% of females mated. Among the pheromone lures tested, the ACP was most attractive, and combining ACP and PH lures could be used for effective
