Temporal niche partitioning by nocturnal arboreal mammals increases the modularity of plant–frugivore networks in a fragmented subtropical landscape

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animal‐mediated seed dispersal sustains plant diversity and ecosystem functioning, particularly in fragmented landscapes. However, the specific contributions of nocturnal frugivores, particularly in above‐ground (arboreal) strata, are often overlooked, leading to ...

Developing a Measure of Financial Privacy: A Pilot Study of U.S. College Students

International Journal of Financial Studies
This study applied communication privacy management (CPM) theory to develop a new measure of financial privacy, encompassing three dimensions of ownership, permeability, and linkages. The exploratory factor analysis was based on a pilot survey of 371 U.S.

Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

Migratory connectivity and barrier‐crossing flights of Vermivora warblers are associated with synoptic weather conditions

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Tracking data from ~10 g songbirds illuminate how weather conditions affect the initiation of long‐distance migratory flights across the Gulf of Mexico during autumn and spring. Seasonal differences and weak migratory connectivity near the Gulf suggest adaptive responses to weather, with future climate trends potentially reducing crossing favorability ...

Behavioural tactics across thermal gradients align with partial morphological divergence in brook charr

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study reveals that brook charr adopt distinct ‘warm’ and ‘cool’ behavioural tactics to balance foraging and thermal stress in stratified lakes. By linking fine‐scale thermal movements to morphology, we show how temperature‐driven habitat use promotes individual specialization and potential ecotypic divergence under climate change.

Towards an anthropology of acquisition: ‘How did you get that?’ Vers une anthropologie de l'acquisition : « Où as‐tu trouvé ça ? »

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The production‐distribution‐consumption triad has structured how anthropologists understand exchange for roughly a century. This article argues for expanding this triad to include an explicit focus on acquisition – the systems, processes, and practices of acquiring.

Disclosure, disbelief, enclosure: listening with precarious kids in London Témoignage, incrédulité, enfermement: écouter les enfants en situation de précarité à Londres

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article interrogates the role of testimonial disclosure as a mechanism of access and a barrier to visibility for marginal people, particularly adolescents, in the UK. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2021 and 2024 in alternative educational provision (AP), as well as in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes ...

Secularism, Gender and Masculinity in Nineteenth‐Century Cremation in Europe and the USA

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay explores, from transnational perspectives, the early history of modern cremation, which developed in the long nineteenth century with secularist connotations. I argue that the beginnings of modern cremation were shaped by bourgeois men who claimed certain identifiers for themselves in a gendering and Othering way.

Winston Churchill and France: A Certain Ideal

History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines relations between Winston Churchill and France. It argues that Churchill was sympathetic to France and, in particular, unusual among Englishmen of his generation in being sympathetic to its political system, but also that this sympathy did not make Churchill consistent in his relations with France.

HYPERSCALING HOUSING: Venture Capital, Real Estate Start‐Ups and the Race to Build a Global Residential Brand

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract What happens when venture capitalists try to reinvent housing in their own image? Synonymous with the rise of Big Tech, venture capitalists (VCs) are asset managers that invest in early‐stage companies, pursuing aggressive growth and market domination. Since the 2008 financial crisis, VCs have poured huge sums into real estate start‐ups.
