Drivers of planted seedling survival and growth in a Mediterranean‐climate woodland restoration experiment

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The restoration of degraded ecosystems is an important means of promoting and conserving biodiversity. However, restoration projects on average fail to reach target biodiversity levels within the time frames they are studied. Competition from non‐native groundlayer grasses and forbs, potential facilitative effects of plant–plant ...

“The Excuses We Make”: Defining Eight Corruption Rationalization Categories

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rationalization of corruption allows individuals to detach from moral imperatives, enabling them to perceive unethical or unlawful actions as acceptable or justifiable. Closely linked to the concept of moral disengagement, rationalization involves cognitive distortions that frame inhumane or immoral behavior as neither wrong nor ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.
