Land use gradients drive spatial variation in Lassa fever host communities in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
As West Africa urbanises, the risk of Lassa fever may paradoxically decrease. We found the invasive house mouse, a dominant urban species, outcompetes and displaces the primary Lassa virus host. Considering these species interactions is critical for accurately predicting future zoonotic disease patterns.

What do other men think? Understanding (mis)perceptions of peer gender role ideology among young Tanzanian men

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Abstract Peer influence in adolescence and early adulthood is critical to the formation of beliefs about appropriate behaviour for each gender. Complicating matters, recent studies suggest that men overestimate peer support for inequitable gender norms. Combined with social conformity, this susceptibility to ‘norm misperception’ may represent a barrier

Biocultural synthesis of adolescence: a roadmap to advance the field Synthèse bioculturelle de l'adolescence : une feuille de route pour faire avancer la recherche

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Adolescence is an expansive, dynamic period within the life course, covering a broad age range (10‐24 years) and a cascade of biological and cultural changes. However, biocultural approaches to adolescence have been less well developed within existing research compared to child and adult counterparts.

Contact and Language Change: Using the Present to Explain the Past1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Although we may know the outcome of language changes that could have resulted from language contact in the past, we are unlikely to know how and why these changes occurred unless we also know about the individual speakers who came into contact and the nature of their interactions—information that all too often is impossible to uncover.
