Bias in Sentencing Men for Sexual Offenses Against Minors: Male Victims Bring More Punitive Sentences Than Female Victims

open access: yesBehavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prior theoretical and empirical research examining the influence of sex on sentencing has been primarily concerned with the sex of the offender, as opposed to the victim. The present study drew on a convenience sample of males (n = 1190) in state and federal correctional facilities across the country, examining minimum sentences in relation to

Meta‐analysis of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class IIA reveals polymorphism and positive selection in many vertebrate species

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 24, Page 6390-6406, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Pathogen‐mediated selection and sexual selection are important drivers of evolution. Both processes are known to target genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a gene family encoding cell‐surface proteins that display pathogen peptides to the immune system.

Mechanical shock during egg de-adhesion and post-ovulatory ageing contribute to spontaneous autopolyploidy in white sturgeon culture (Acipenser transmontanus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Spontaneous autopolyploidy, a 1.5x increase in genome size resulting from second polar body retention after fertilization, has been documented in cultured sturgeons, with the proportion of spontaneous autopolyploid progeny ranging widely among maternal ...

Range contraction enables harvesting to extinction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Economic incentives to harvest a species usually diminish as its abundance declines, because harvest costs increase. This prevents harvesting to extinction. A known exception can occur if consumer demand causes a declining species' harvest price to rise faster than costs.

A Regional Analysis of Trace Element Water Chemistry With Applications for Reconstructing Environmental Life History of Fishes

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Trace elements and minerals can be important for physiological and biochemical functions in aquatic organisms and are also permanently retained in metabolically inert structures in fish, such as otoliths, which can be examined to reconstruct environmental history.

Accurate believers are deductively cogent

open access: yesNoûs, Volume 56, Issue 4, Page 763-786, December 2022., 2022
Abstract This paper argues that the agent concerned to have accurate (outright) beliefs will have a consistent and multi‐premise closed belief set, and not a (merely) single‐premise closed and (merely) pairwise consistent belief set, as has often been thought.

PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTAL WORK ON PRODUCING OFFSPRING AND COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF PURE SPECIES (WHITE STURGEON, FRINGEBARBEL STURGEON) AND THEIR INTERSPECIES HYBRIDS (WHITE STURGEON × FRINGEBARBEL STURGEON AND FRINGEBARBEL STURGEON × WHITE STURGEON)

open access: yesVestnik of Astrakhan State Technical University. Series: Fishing industry, 2020
The article presents the comparative results of the experimental work on studying valuable pure species offspring (white sturgeon, fringebarbel sturgeon) and their interspecies hybrid forms (white sturgeon × fringebarbel sturgeon and fringebarbel sturgeon × white sturgeon) in the early stages of ontogenesis.
