Institutionalisation and Institutional Evolution: A Model of Selecting Government Officials in Ancient China

Economics of Transition and Institutional Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evolution of institutions in selecting government officials in ancient China reflected efficiency considerations and increased power concentration in the hands of the ruler. Selecting government officials in ancient China became more rule‐based over time, and standardisation and centralisation were some key features of this process.

Constructing citizenship and indigeneity in Jordan: The politics of Bedouin rights and identities in cultural heritage sites

The Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
Short Abstract This paper explores the relationships between Bedouin rights, citizenship and indigeneity in cultural heritage sites in Jordan. Through interviews and ethnographic fieldwork with Bedouin communities, we argue that a more critical engagement with indigeneity is necessary in Jordan.

Breeding in natural nesting sites can improve the resilience of local Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) populations to environmental changes

Ibis, EarlyView.
The identification of key habitats of threatened species and of extrinsic environmental factors that influence their resilience to human‐induced environmental changes are the foundation for the definition of conservation objectives. Using the presence and numerical abundance data collected in a long‐term survey (2000–24) of breeding colonies of Lesser ...

Integrative taxonomy supports DNA barcoding in revealing an abundant cryptic species in the United States Coastal Plain

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We present the most densely sampled phylogeny of Carex section Lupulinae to date (107 specimens) and describe herein a new cryptic species for science from the southern United States, which is locally abundant and found in well‐explored and densely populated areas. Combining DNA sequences with morphometric data obtained from 299 samples, we Demonstrate

Leaf gas exchange measurement for steady‐state stomatal conductance model calibration

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Stomatal conductance models are essential components of crop and land surface models, but collecting data to calibrate them remains challenging due to large leaf‐to‐leaf variability, slow stomatal kinetics, and a lack of consistent measurement protocols, leading to unknown reliability and representativeness of calibrated model parameter ...
