Social Drivers of Vocal Flexibility in Female Baboons

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 390-398, June 2026.
Female olive baboons selectively grunt when encountering females with dependent offspring. Grunting likelihood depends on rank differences and the strength of their social bond. This study adds to the evidence that nonhuman primates have evolved to use structurally‐inflexible vocalisations in population and context‐flexible ways.

Modeling the Multiple Hoppy Sensory Dimensions in Beers With Conventional and Alternative Data Strategies

open access: yesJournal of Sensory Studies, Volume 41, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beer lexicon is diverse due to the use of different raw materials during the brewing process leading to many beer styles and categories. However, beers are often simply described with the term “hoppy,” which seems a vague and generic sensory descriptor.

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract Fugitivity has become an important conceptual frame to understand the illegalised mobilities of contemporary migrants in conjunction with enslaved people's historical lines of flight as spatial praxes to seize their own freedom. Thinking from Kenya, and drawing on research with migrants, border officials, activists, police and smugglers,
