How Alternative Management Ideas Are Realized for the Public Good: Performative Fabrics of Humanistic Practices

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Repurposing management for the public good involves realizing alternative ideas to serve societal interests. Humanistic management is centred on such ideas as human dignity and well‐being. Realization refers to the generation and maintenance of social realities corresponding to these ideas.

The (Simp)le Truth About Excessive and Obsessive Romantic Behaviors in Men

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective “Simps” are individuals (primarily men) who engage in costly or extravagant gestures toward a romantic interest without receiving reciprocation. As its first empirical validation, the current study newly operationalizes simping behaviors as well as the motivating factors predicting simping.

Do Intoxicated Offenders Deserve Harsher Sentences? Questioning Veritas in Vino

Journal of Social Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Criminal courts increasingly treat intoxication as an aggravating rather than a mitigating factor in sentencing. This shift, seen in Australian law and other jurisdictions, raises the prospect of unjust outcomes. We examine this trend through the lens of desert‐based justifications for punishment, setting aside questions of deterrence and ...

Pollinator efficiency, rather than bee decline, explains a shift to hummingbird pollination in tropical montane forests

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Hummingbird pollination is a hallmark of American plant diversity and has long been thought to evolve in tropical mountains due to declining bee activity. Using sister species of Costus specialized on bees (C. kuntzei) and hummingbirds (C. wilsonii), we show that this shift is not driven by reduced bee visitation with elevation, but by greater ...

Pollen longevity and viability dataset: an integrated resource for plant research and conservation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
The most common methods to estimate pollen viability. Summary Pollen viability and longevity are key traits in plant reproduction, with implications for gene flow, crop breeding, and ex situ plant conservation. However, published data on these traits remain dispersed across disciplines, languages, and methods, limiting their accessibility and reuse ...

Crossability Relations of Domesticated Peas (Pisum sativum and Pisum abyssinicum) With Wild Pisum fulvum and Drought Response Assessment of P. sativum × P. fulvum Progenies

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The productivity and quality of grain crops in semiarid environments is often affected by drought, which is likely to accentuate due to predicted climate changes. Wild pea (Pisum fulvum Sibth. & Smith) accessions are known to harbour useful allelic diversity for drought responses.

Transcriptome Analysis of Stigmas of Vicia faba L. Flowers

Plants
Pollination in angiosperms depends on complex communication between pollen grains and stigmas, classified as wet or dry, depending on the presence or absence of secretions at the stigma surface, respectively.

Attraction of nocturnal scarab beetles by unusual floral volatiles in a Banksia (Proteaceae) with functionally diverse pollinators

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Banksia attenuata (Proteaceae) attracts nocturnal scarab beetles with an unusual floral scent—the beetles pollinate the flower as they feed on pollen and nectar and mate on the inflorescences. Abstract Pollination by beetles has evolved multiple times in flowering plants but with relatively few plant species adapted specifically to pollination by ...
