Aphid and endosymbiont sensitivity to heatwaves is misaligned across life stages
Insect Science, EarlyView.Aphids depend on the obligate symbiont Buchnera aphidicola, which may constrain thermal tolerance. Using a factorial heatwave experiment, we exposed nymphs and adults to moderate or extreme temperatures and measured fitness and symbiont responses.

Animal‐Mediated Dispersal and Clonal Growth Drive Prunus cerasus Invasion in Andean Temperate Forest
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Prunus cerasus reproduces by clonality and by seed dispersal and germination. P. cerasus is invading Patagonian protected areas. The relative relevance of germination and clonal reproduction changes along the time of P. cerasus arrival at a site. Seed dispersal by foxes is primarily responsible for the spread of P. cerasus to new areas.

The Local Spillover Effect of Marijuana Liberalization: Evidence From Material Misstatements
Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study documents an organizational spillover effect of marijuana liberalization on corporate financial reporting quality. Exploiting the staggered adoption of state‐level medical marijuana legalization (MML) laws, we find that firms headquartered in states adopting MMLs experience a higher likelihood of material misstatements.

Multidimensional unipolar IRT and applications to the measurement of print exposure
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Item response theory (IRT) has been a prominent modelling framework in educational and psychological measurement. Traditional IRT models are bipolar, commonly assuming symmetric measurement link functions and symmetric trait distributions over a latent continuum unbounded at both ends. However, many measured constructs, such as print exposure,

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by lipid accumulation and endothelial dysfunction, remains a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. While cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptor agonists show therapeutic promise in preclinical studies, their systemic application is hindered by poor ...
