Against the odds: Nesting specialization and foraging ecology provide insights into climate change responses in a mountain bee

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
A unique high‐elevation Exoneura bee defies typical elevation‐driven declines in bee activity, nesting exclusively in dead branches of snow gums near the alpine tree line. Nesting and foraging are tightly linked to snow gum presence, with most activity occurring within 30 m of these trees. Biophysical modelling indicates the bee's thermally constrained

Sensory contribution of emollient cascades in skin creams evaluated by CATA analysis

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This work includes emulsion composition and sensory analysis methodology, emollient cascade theory and study results. This study demonstrates how deliberate structuring of emollient cascades can be used as a formulation strategy to modulate both perceived skin feel and product appearance within emulsified systems.

Functional morphology and biomechanics of the locomotor apparatus in the large Late Triassic carnivore Postosuchus kirkpatricki (Archosauria: Rauisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

Estimating National and Foreign Trade Elasticities Using Generalized Transport Costs

Journal of Regional Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, Page 471-496, March 2025.
ABSTRACT We introduce the definition of two distinct trade elasticities corresponding to imports from regions located in the same country (national elasticities) and foreign regions located in other countries (foreign elasticities). We resort to a three‐tier nested CES utility structure to derive the corresponding demand gravity equations.

Underground allies: Mycorrhizal flexibility facilitates orchid occurrence in post‐mining landscapes

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Epipactis helleborine associates with largely habitat‐specific fungal communities, with limited overlap between mining and woodland sites, yet maintains comparable genetic diversity across habitats. These results highlight the role of mycorrhizal flexibility in enabling habitat shifts and expanding ecological niches in human‐altered landscapes ...
