Uncovering Biogas Outcomes: Tales of Hubris, Hope, and Failure From Southern Malawi

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to speak directly to biogas failure. Over the past two decades, immense amounts of money have been spent by African governments, private individuals, and most conspicuously, international aid agencies and donors, on countless biogas projects in every country on the continent.

Offspring performance does not explain oviposition preference in the leafminer Stigmella sorbi (Lepidoptera: Nepticulidae): a tri‐trophic perspective

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We studied oviposition site selection in a leaf‐mining moth (Stigmella sorbi) on rowan trees (Sorbus aucuparia) in northwestern Russia, assessing larval performance across different shoot types, leaf positions, and leaflets. Larval survival was highest on long vegetative shoots, yet females showed no preference for these optimal sites.

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

Layered abandonment: The moral interpretation of suffering in extreme confinement

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Loss and rejection are central to prison life, yet how they crystallize into a more general sense of abandonment remains under‐theorized. Drawing on 64 interviews with men held in prolonged self‐isolation or serving indeterminate forvaring sentences in Denmark, we conceptualize abandonment not simply as hardship but as suffering plus ...

Christian nationalism, race, and contingent support for law enforcement: Results from two survey experiments

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Research in the United States shows a strong link between right‐wing Christianity and support for law enforcement. Yet, it remains unclear whether this support extends uniformly across contexts, which has important implications for our understanding of public attitudes about police.
