Ecological and demographic drivers of kin‐directed cooperation in a social bird: Insights from a long‐term study

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 485-500, April 2025.
We review 30 years of studies on the drivers of kin structure and cooperative behaviour in an atypical cooperative breeder, the long‐tailed tits. These numerous studies have nurtured and developed keystone ideas on the evolution of sociality and cooperation. Picture credit: Billy Clapham.

Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.
Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.

Chasing the authoritarian spectre: Detecting authoritarian discourse with large language models

European Journal of Political Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The paper introduces a deep‐learning model fine‐tuned for detecting authoritarian discourse in political speeches. Set up as a regression problem with weak supervision logic, the model is trained for the task of classification of segments of text for being/not being associated with authoritarian discourse.

Phenotypic upregulation of hexocylceramides and ether‐linked phosphocholines as markers of human extreme longevity

Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2025.
Mass spectrometry analysis of 569 lipid species showed that ceramide‐to‐hexosylceramide conversion and the preservation of ether‐linked PC levels are key phenotypic traits ensuring extreme longevity. This lipidomic signature is shaped by an intrinsic adaptive program that maintains protective mechanisms and cellular identity.

Associations of clinical parameter‐based accelerated aging, genetic predisposition with risk of chronic kidney disease and associated life expectancy: A prospective cohort study

Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2025.
By calculating clinical parameter‐based biological age for 281,363 adults from the UK Biobank study, we prospectively found that individuals with more pronounced accelerations in biological age exhibited an elevated risk of developing CKD, particularly among those with high genetic risk for abnormal kidney function.
