Examining The Pilgrims’ Experience: Communitas Along The Camino De Santiago

International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage
To what extent does the community formed among pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago correspond to Turner’s concept of communitas? How might pilgrimage with significant others differ from individual pilgrimages in the sense of community? This study attempts

Sex‐Linked Dilution Colour in the European Domestic Goose Indicated To Be a 1‐Bp Deletion in the Melan‐A Gene

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Plumage colour in domestic geese is an important economic trait and a selection target since the early days of domestication. In European domestic geese of greylag goose (Anser anser) origin, white plumage is known to be determined by two independent loci, one causing white spotting and another sex‐linked dilution, together producing white ...

Cougar density on the Oregon Coast: Using dead recovery modeling in an open population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
The primary objective of this study was to determine cougar density in western Oregon. Our results demonstrate that integrating DNA collected via bio‐darting, mandatory hunter‐harvest check‐ins, and GPS collar data into the OPCR2 is a reliable method for estimating cougar densities in densely forested coastal systems.

Exploring New Zealand Consumer Affective and Sensory Responses of No and Low (NOLO) Alcohol Wines in a Realistic Consumption Setting

Journal of Sensory Studies, Volume 41, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Declining alcohol consumption both in New Zealand and globally has increased interest in no‐ and low‐alcohol (NOLO) wines; however, limited research has examined how alcohol level influences consumer responses. This study investigated how alcohol content (0%, 6%, and 13%) affected such responses for Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, and Merlot ...

Cross‐Linguistic Variations in Word‐Final Position: The Parametric Hierarchies, Connections and Networks

Studia Linguistica, Volume 80, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Word‐final position is widely recognized as a structurally weak and restricted domain, yet languages differ strikingly in how they regulate segments and clusters at the right edge. While some systems categorically prohibit final consonants, others allow only a subset of segments, and still others impose process‐based adjustments such as final ...

Ab Initio Investigation of MgXe, Its Cation Mg+Xe and Clusters Mg+Xen: Electronic Structure, Spectroscopic Properties, and Temperature‐Dependent Absorption Spectra

International Journal of Quantum Chemistry, Volume 126, Issue 13, July 5, 2026.
Accurate potential energy curves, spectroscopic constants, and transition dipole moments were determined for the Mg+Xe and MgXe complexes. Spin–orbit effects were explicitly included for the Mg+Xe ionic system. Monte Carlo simulations were employed to investigate Mg+Xen clusters, and the temperature dependence of their absorption spectra was analyzed ...

Long‐Term Population Monitoring Reveals Changes in Mesocarnivore Occupancy in Response to Severe Drought

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We examined the effects of a historic drought and contemporary forest structure on the occurrence of four sympatric mesocarnivores: Pacific martens (Martes caurina), fishers (Pekania pennanti), gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), and ringtails (Bassariscus astutus).

Adaptive Sequential Multiple Hypotheses Testing for Concomitant Vaccine Safety Surveillance

Statistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 15-17, July 2026.
ABSTRACT When multiple vaccines are simultaneously recommended, a statistical method to monitor adverse events accounting for multiple combinations of vaccine exposure rather than each vaccine individually is preferred. We introduce an adaptive multiple hypotheses test method for rapidly detecting increased risks of adverse events from one or more ...
