The consequences of host heterogeneity for parasite transmission depend on how host infectiousness is determined

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study proposes two contrasting scenarios for how host infectiousness is determined: recipient dependence and donor dependence. These scenarios fundamentally alter how host heterogeneity shapes parasite transmission, demonstrating that the process by which infectiousness is determined is crucial for understanding the consequences of host ...

High thermal plasticity, low heritability and constant directional selection on breeding phenology in a viviparous ectotherm

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our findings reveal that breeding phenology of the common lizard is shaped by strong thermal plasticity, body size effects, constant selection for earlier parturition, but low heritability. This suggests that phenological responses to climate change in this species, and likely in other squamates, will predominantly arise through plastic rather than ...

The Evolution of Male Weapons Is Associated with the Type of Breeding Site in a Clade of Neotropical Frogs

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Male weaponry evolution is often linked to male–male competition, but its relationship with breeding site type remains unclear. Using Leptodactylinae frogs, we found a macroevolutionary correlation between breeding site type and weapon evolution. Also, gains and losses of weapons occurred more frequently in exposed‐breeding sites, an unexpected finding.

Environmental Drivers of Geographic Isolation in Three Pika Species in Northeast Asia

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Using bias‐corrected species distribution models, we found that geographic isolation among three northeastern Asian pika species (Ochotona coreana, Ochotona mantchurica, and Ochotona hyperborea) reflects both divergent environmental preferences and potential competitive interactions. O.

Experimental Activity on High Temperature PEM Fuel Cells

open access: yes, 2013
Energy systems based on fuel cells technology have received increasing attention because, by providing both useful electricity and heat with high efficiency, even at partial loads, can have a strategic role in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions ...

A Survey of the Archival Audit Literature Une revue de la littérature en matière d'audit fondée sur les données archivales

open access: yesContemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT External audits enhance the credibility of financial statements and are a cornerstone of capital market integrity. However, the growing and complex auditing literature poses challenges for researchers. This survey synthesizes and critically evaluates archival audit research published in top accounting journals from 1995 to 2025, organizing ...

Was the Kalkarindji Continental Flood Basalt Province a Driver of Environmental Change at the Dawn of the Phanerozoic?

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Staffing Leverage at the Audit Office and Audit Quality L'influence de la dotation en personnel des bureaux d'audit sur la qualité des audits

open access: yesContemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The PCAOB posits that audit partner and manager involvement, primarily through greater supervision and review (“oversight”) of audit engagements, is an important determinant and indicator of audit quality. We test this notion by empirically examining the link between staffing leverage, as measured by an office's ratio of audit partners and ...

Embracing uncertainty in time: A Bayesian dynamic mixing model for isotopic diet estimation

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Isotopic mixing models are powerful tools in ecology for estimating diets. Since their initial formulation, these models have evolved into two distinct branches: Bayesian mixing models and dynamic mixing models. Bayesian mixing models significantly improve uncertainty management but remain static assuming a stable state.
