Beyond the next step: A multi‐criteria generative validation framework for step selection functions

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Step‐selection functions (SSFs), typically fitted using step‐selection analysis (SSA) or integrated step‐selection analysis (iSSA) are widely used to infer habitat selection and movement kernels from high‐frequency telemetry data, but most standard validation tools focus on one‐step‐ahead prediction and do not guarantee that fitted models ...

Application of a novel molecular diagnostic method to examine the spatio‐temporal trends of Carcelia iliaca, a larval parasitoid of oak processionary moth (Thaumetopoea processionea)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
The oak processionary moth is an invasive pest in the United Kingdom that threatens biodiversity and public health, with rising control costs highlighting the need for sustainable management alternatives Conservation biocontrol using the parasitoid fly Carcelia iliaca is promising but key biological data gaps hinder evidence‐based policy development.

Edge Sharpness Does Not Vary Between Palaeolithic Flake Technologies, With the Possible Exception of Levallois Débitage

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Investigating why hominins adopted particular flake technologies during the Mid‐to‐Late Pleistocene is essential to understanding patterns of lithic innovation. This period witnessed the emergence of Levallois technologies (~350–250 ka) and later blades, each “replacing” earlier forms.

Entrepreneurial State as a Creative Destroyer: Comparison of Hong Kong and Singapore's Creative Industries

Creativity and Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the limits of mission‐directed entrepreneurial states by drawing on the theory of recombinant innovation and F.A. Hayek's insights on the spontaneous growth of knowledge in society. First, the use of discretionary policymaking curtails the range of knowledge generated in the process of social interaction, limiting the scope

A new efficient grain growth model using a random Gaussian-sampled mode filter

Materials & Design
This paper presents the use of a Gaussian neighborhood mode filter for predicting grain growth in a manner similar to the solutions obtained by a Monte Carlo Potts model.

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.
