Trauma, Testimony and Lower Secondary Holocaust Education in Rywka Lipszyc's and Otto Wolf's Diaries

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how Holocaust‐related trauma is represented in two diaries written by Jewish adolescents during the Second World War: Rywka Lipszyc's diary and Otto Wolf's diary. The article combines a thematically guided close reading of the diaries with a didactic discussion of their possible use in lower secondary literary education ...

Bioethics and the World Order: A Curious Coincidence Between Chinese and African Approaches

Developing World Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The post‐1945 world order is standardly pictured as a Westphalian system, in which each state is equal under the law with sovereign authority over its territories. This paper argues that the Westphalian system is changing and examines the implications for bioethics. We show that cross‐border health, economic, ecologic, and sociopolitical risks

Taxonomic inflation in fish systematics: A critical review with illustrative evidence assessment and integrative case study of the Salmo trutta Complex

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish species are being described at an accelerating rate, but a substantial fraction of recent descriptions rests on evidentiary standards too weak to distinguish genuine species‐level discontinuities from intraspecific variation, local adaptation and the artefacts of single‐marker analyses, a pattern of taxonomic inflation with documented ...

Fly Solo, Then Return Home? Offspring's Entrepreneurship Experience and their Future As Family Business Successors

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract How does early‐career entrepreneurship experience of family business offspring affect their likelihood of eventually taking over the established family firm? Considering family business succession as a dual‐agency process, we draw on human capital theory and opportunity cost logic to theorize how the same early‐career experience can have ...

Developmental Plasticity and Behavioural Evolution in Rodents: Insights From African Striped Mice (Rhabdomys)

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Our review synthesizes how early‐life experiences shape behavioural development in rodents, drawing on developmental plasticity, non‐genetic inheritance and epigenetic mechanisms. Using African striped mice (Rhabdomys) and other small mammal systems as case studies, it presents an integrative framework linking parental care, developmental pathways and ...

Predictive evolutionary genomics: principles, validation, and practice

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate change and habitat loss are driving rapid evolutionary responses in populations world‐wide, which creates an urgent need for evolutionary forecasting in conservation and agriculture. Such forecasting can be categorized into three time scales: trait‐based models that use multivariate quantitative genetic equations to project correlated ...

For colonization success, should hosts and microbes travel alone, together, or swap partners along the way?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Experimental co‐introduction of duckweeds (Lemna japonica) and their microbiome in a common pond. Summary Microbiomes that enhance the performance of host plants are likely to be co‐introduced with their host during colonization because of their intimate association.

The incredible vulnerability that reproduction poses for plant species in a warming world

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Generalized plant responses to heat stress across whole‐plant and reproductive scales. Summary Temperatures are rising globally and threatening the persistence of natural plant populations. Elevated temperatures disrupt gametogenesis, fertilization, and seed filling, often at lower thresholds than those affecting photosynthesis, growth, or survival ...

Beyond Deterministic Fetal Programming: Intrauterine Exposures and the Multifactorial Origins of Adiposity

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.
