Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Bird communities in oceanic islands tend to evolve under reduced predation, making them extremely susceptible to introduced predators. Príncipe Island (São Tomé and Príncipe, Central Africa) harbors 11 endemic bird species and eight introduced mammal species.

The SGR 1806-20 magnetar signature on the Earth's magnetic field
, 2007 SGRs denote ``soft $\gamma$-ray repeaters'', a small class of slowly spinning neutron stars with strong magnetic fields. On 27 December 2004, a giant flare was detected from magnetar SGR 1806-20.

Variable social organization and breeding system of a social parrot revealed by genetic analysis
Ibis, EarlyView.Social organization and contributions to reproduction vary widely within and between species that breed in groups. Such variation often arises from the process of group formation, which drives patterns of relatedness and hence the degree of social conflict and co‐operation between group members.

Important tools for Amazon Parrot reintroduction programs
, 2017 Anti-predator behavior and personality have important consequences for the survival of captive-bred animals after reintroduction in the wild. The personality of an animal can be defined as low within-individual variation in behavior relative to between ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.

Governing Supply Chains for Societal Impact: What Can We Learn From Indigenous African Philosophies?
Journal of Supply Chain Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Africa's growing role in global supply chains presents an important opportunity for more socially grounded and context‐sensitive research in supply chain management (SCM). Despite its economic and demographic significance, African contexts remain underrepresented in mainstream SCM scholarship, which limits understanding of the continent's ...

Error detection is not necessary for representation
Mind &Language, EarlyView.Some philosophers have recently proposed an error detection condition (EDC) for representation, such that for R$$ R $$ to be a representation for system S$$ S $$, S$$ S $$ must be capable of detecting errors in tokenings of R$$ R $$. We argue that this condition is unmotivated, and that it is too strong. We show that theories of representation that are

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Wind‐driven plant movement generates rapid light fluctuations (windflecks), which can impact canopy photosynthesis. Targeting crop photosynthesis in dynamic light provides a potential path towards boosting yield. Here, we quantified how plant architecture and biomechanics modulate such windflecks across 10 high‐yielding cultivars of winter ...

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rhythm is an essential part of human music. Recently, there has been a surge of interest in the production of rhythmicity in nonhuman animal vocalizations. Novel methods have found widespread rhythmic behaviors—including those with music‐like properties—among nonhuman animals.
