Ethnic Groups' Access to State Power and Group Size

Economics &Politics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ethnic‐based political inequality is widespread, yet its underlying drivers remain poorly understood. This paper shows that an ethnic group's relative size is a key correlate of its access to central executive power. Using data on 575 groups across 181 countries from 1946 to 2021, and restricting attention to non‐dominant groups, I document a ...

Forest edges buffer effects of agricultural management on bee–plant interaction networks

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Agricultural management effects: Organic and conventional crop margins host similar bee and plant species, but network structure differs: organic farms exhibit higher interaction diversity, conventional farms higher connectance. Role of forest edges: Native forest edges stabilize bee–plant networks by providing continuous floral resources and suitable ...

Why we Should Study Solitary Species to Understand the Costs of Group‐Living

Ethology, EarlyView.
It's easier to measure the benefits than the costs of a trait. Solitary species benefit by avoiding the costs of group living. Thus, measuring benefits of solitary living informs us about the costs of group living. ABSTRACT While for decades behavioral ecologists have studied the benefits of group living, measuring its costs has been more difficult. It

Investigating transthyretin variants H88R and I107V in amyloid priming: From destabilization to complete dissociation

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Investigated mutations in transthyretin (TTR) disrupt the F87‐centered hydrophobic core that stabilizes its tetrameric structure. The mild I107V mutation weakens inter‐chain packing, while H88R fully abolishes tetramer formation, yielding a monomeric, aggregation‐prone form. Structural, biophysical, and computational analyses reveal that both mutations

An Exploration of the Inter‐Sectional Identity of Black Female Leaders in the UK: A Shotterian Study

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the experience of Black female leaders in UK business and the narratives of their lived experience of marginalization. Drawing principally on the rather small UK‐focused literature on this topic as context, as well as some of the much larger international literature, methodologically we use the approach to qualitative ...

College Loans and Human Capital Investment

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT College loans facilitate access to education, but the repayment burden may distort posteducation human capital investment. We examine the role of college loans and loan repayment policies through a structural model of individuals' dynamic decisions on borrowing/saving, labor supply, and costly human capital investment. We estimate two versions
