Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

Selling soldiering: Marketisation, gender complementarity and the promise of military femininity in 1990s Sweden

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the first large‐scale attempts to recruit women as soldiers and officers in 1990s Sweden, focusing on the techniques and promises employed by the Swedish Armed Forces (SAF). Building on a wide range of documents and audiovisual sources, we demonstrate how the SAF utilised various marketing techniques, including ...

Comparing a single target image with a reference three‐dimensional (3D) virtual avatar of a real person

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract The demand for analyzing images from sources such as closed‐circuit television cameras has increased significantly. Conventional analyses, including gait and soft biometrics, typically require the comparison of two video footage clips, as these methods are predicated on video‐to‐video comparisons.

Does a rising tide lift all boats?: Evidence from a multicity randomized trial of procedural justice in hot spots policing

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract A recent multicity procedural justice (PJ) training experiment at crime hot spots showed that police could be trained to behave in procedurally just ways, and that this behavioral change could lead to reductions in arrests, improved citizen evaluations of the police, and decreases in crime.

Improving police behavior through artificial intelligence: Pre‐registered experimental results in two large US agencies

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Police body‐worn cameras (BWCs) generate extensive video data on officer behavior, yet resource constraints mean that only a fraction of this footage is ever reviewed. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present an opportunity to automate these reviews, potentially influencing police conduct.

Host Exploitation by Cuckoos in China: A Review and Real‐Time Tracking Program for Parasitism Records

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
China is a global hotspot for cuckoo‐host diversity, with 17 cuckoo species, exploiting 142 host species. We reveal adaptive matching in body size and egg traits, along with niche partitioning among cuckoos, while identifying eight new host species.

Reducing data processing effort in camera trap density estimation: Extending the REST model by explicitly modelling animal detection processes

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate and reliable estimation of wildlife population density is fundamental to effective conservation and management. While camera traps show potential for monitoring ground‐dwelling mammal densities, labour‐intensive data processing remains a significant constraint. Ideally, conservation efforts would benefit from the continuous monitoring

Decentralized propaganda in the era of digital media: The massive presence of the Chinese state on Douyin

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The rise of social media in the digital era poses unprecedented challenges to authoritarian regimes that aim to influence public attitudes and behaviors. To address these challenges, we argue that authoritarian regimes have adopted a decentralized approach to produce and disseminate propaganda on social media.
