Measuring Governance or Wealth? Construct Validation of AI Readiness Indices

open access: yesPolicy &Internet, Volume 18, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Many are the promises of artificial intelligence and the indices claiming to measure government readiness for it. This study provides the first construct validity investigation of the Oxford Insights Government AI Readiness Index, the Tortoise Global AI Index, and the IMF AI Preparedness Index, using a nine‐test battery and drawing on ...

Two‐phase ammonia plume behavior in a still room: Jack Rabbit III chamber studies

open access: yesProcess Safety Progress, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 301-312, September 2026.
Abstract This paper describes a new set of 45 laboratory experiments where about 180 g of ammonia was released from pressurized liquefied storage in a still 51.3 m3 chamber (i.e., a small room) and the variations of the ammonia gas concentrations and liquid deposition over a 60 min time period were investigated.

Antimicrobial Resistance Among Selected Zoonotic Bacteria: A Case Study of Tortoises and Birds at the Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study investigated antimicrobial resistance in birds and tortoises at the Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre. Escherichia coli predominated in birds, whereas Salmonella enteritidis predominated in tortoises with resistance to sulphonamides detected.

From Cohesion to Norms: How Animal Groups Come, Stay, and Function Together

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 604-622, September 2026.
The present review underscores two salient points: In the context of evolutionary transitions to pair‐ and group living, it is imperative to acknowledge the distinction between selective forces that act during the origin of these social systems and those that act during their subsequent maintenance.

A Review of the Effects of Freshwater Habitat Quality on Aquatic & Semi‐Aquatic Turtles

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive review of the relationship between freshwater turtles and their aquatic environments. We also highlight areas which have been over‐ or under‐studied and offer recommendations for future research. ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles and terrapins require an aquatic habitat as part of their natural ecology ...

Disentangling Temporal and Environmental Effects on Hematological Values in Prairie Rattlesnakes (Crotalus viridis)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 7, Page 727-734, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Hematologic assessment is a common clinical tool used to characterize both individual and population health. In ectothermic organisms, the hematologic response is influenced by external factors such as temperature and season, especially in temperate species. Yet, specific environmental effects have received little direct attention.

Shared foraging behaviors between hyenas and hominins in the Middle Paleolithic Levant: New evidence from Geula Cave, Israel

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 896-914, August 2026.
ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

Military lands provide an opportunity to recover red wolves

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
Red wolf (Canis rufus) recovery remains challenging, with only one population persisting and no reintroductions since 1998. Despite extensive, biodiverse properties in the Southeast with conservation mandates, military lands have been overlooked. In our paper, we evaluate them as a potential path forward for red wolf reintroduction sites.
