Police department design, political pressure, and racial inequality in arrests

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper theorizes a source of bias in discretionary arrests: strategic limits on police officer learning. Officers have a variety of tactics at their disposal besides arrest that they use for less serious offenses when they judge the underlying behavior to be less severe. In departments led by a chief with special expertise in crime control,

Pest Detection in Olive Groves Using YOLOv7 and YOLOv8 Models

Modern agriculture faces important challenges for feeding a fast-growing planet’s population in a sustainable way. One of the most important challenges faced by agriculture is the increasing destruction caused by pests to important crops. It is very important to control and manage pests in order to reduce the losses they cause.

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

Locomotor Activity of Adult Olive Fruit Flies Recorded under Conditions of Food or Water Deprivation

Agronomy
The olive fruit fly, known as Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is causing substantial economic losses in olive crops worldwide. Studying the activity patterns of the insect may expand our knowledge to eventually adopt more sustainable and

Key agroecosystems for the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Europe

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Agricultural expansion and intensification are driving amphibian and reptile declines worldwide. However, sustainably managed agroecosystems can support a high diversity of herpetofauna, which play a key role in pest control, reducing crop damage.

From Coase to culture? Visible Hands Build Equilibria

Economica, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay proposes that the classic distinction between firms and markets in Ronald Coase's 1937 paper ‘The nature of the firm’ (Economica, vol. 4, pp. 386–405) be gracefully retired, having been duly celebrated for its field‐launching contribution to organizational economics.

Do aphid endosymbiotic bacteria influence parasitoid searching behaviour through changes in aphid honeydew production?

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Hamiltonella defensa infection increases honeydew production in certain aphid genotypes, potentially modifying aphid feeding behaviour. Parasitoid wasps, Aphidius ervi, are more attracted to honeydew from H. defensa‐infected aphids; though larger honeydew amounts may slightly deter searching.

Valorization of monovarietal Nostrana di Brisighella extra virgin olive oils: focus on bioactive compounds

Frontiers in Nutrition
A “green breakthough” at the table due to consumer demand for healthy and sustainable foods, which aligns with the typical Mediterranean diet, has recently led to an increase in the consumption of products such as extra virgin olive oil. In fact, Italian
