Fine‐scale genetic structure in co‐operatively breeding Palmchats (Dulus dominicus) suggests mixed kinship in compound nests

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Fine‐scale genetic structure in animal populations can create opportunities for both kin‐directed co‐operation and kin competition. Knowledge of kinship is therefore key to understanding the selective pressures shaping sociality as well as the effects of social behaviour on local genetic structure.

Is urbanisation a barrier to genetic diversity in the solitary specialist bee, Melissodes druriellus?

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Bees are integral pollinators commonly found in and supported by urban green spaces; however, their eco‐evolutionary response to urbanisation varies interspecifically. While several studies have explored the population and landscape genetics of bees in response to urbanisation, few have examined solitary or specialist species which may be more ...

Doing Item Reviewing in and Through Interaction: What It Takes to Problematize and Revise a Language Test Item

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study brings an interactional perspective to item reviewing (IR) as one of the critical language test construction stages by using conversation analysis. Drawing on video recordings of IR sessions in an English preparatory school at the tertiary level, it examines how EFL teachers problematize and revise syllabus‐based language test items

Neurodiversity and intersectionality in the workplace: A narrative review and research agenda

open access: yesInternational Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Neurodiversity has important implications for individuals and organizations as an increasingly salient but under‐researched dimension of diversity in the workplace. In this article, we provide an interdisciplinary review of neurodiversity research through the lens of intersectionality, with a particular focus on the potential ways ...

An Experimental Investigation into the Effect of Curve Radius on the Discharge Coefficient in Curved-Linear and Curved-Labyrinth Weirs with a Triangular Plan

open access: yesعلوم آب و خاک, 2019
Nonlinear weirs are regarded as important hydraulic structures for water level adjustment and flow control in channels, rivers and dam reservoirs. One example of non-linear weirs is shaped as curved-zigzag. The crest axis of these weirs is non-linear. At

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.

Population Differentiation and Polygenic Selection in the Finnish Ayrshire Cows Selected on Genomic Information

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Finnish Ayrshire cattle belong to the Nordic Red breeds. The basis of selection in Nordic Red breeds shifted from traditional pedigree‐based breeding values to genomic breeding values between 2011 and 2014. Joint genetic evaluation and admixture among the Nordic Red breeds have led to the formation of a composite Nordic Red population ...

Relationship between the environment and the occurrence of invasive pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus in lotic and lentic habitats

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus is a freshwater fish species native to North America. It has been introduced to Europe, where it is recognized as one of the worst aquatic invaders due to its high adaptability and invasive potential. This study aimed to determine the presence of L. gibbosus in small to medium‐sized water bodies, both lotic and
