How did Japan catch‐up with the West? Some implications of recent revisions to Japan's historical growth record

Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 3-32, March 2026.
Abstract Revised GDP data suggest that Japan was more than one‐third richer in 1874 than suggested by Maddison, and that Meiji period growth built on earlier development. Despite trend GDP per capita growth during the Tokugawa Shogunate, the catching‐up process only started after 1890 with respect to Britain, and after World War I with respect to the ...

Harmony or Disharmony? The Effect of Organized Industrial Zones on Urban Development/Growth: The Case of Bursa

Growth and Change, Volume 57, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The historical timing and spatial configuration of industrialization shape urban development. While early industrial cities such as Manchester and Chicago integrated industrial districts into their metropolitan form during the initial stages of urban growth, cities like Bursa encountered industrialization later, producing distinct spatial ...

Flood Risk Communications Through Maps: Challenges, Perception Theories and Approaches

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Flood risk communication is a core component of flood risk management, yet persistent challenges limit its effectiveness in supporting public understanding, preparedness and adaptive behaviour. Here, we examine flood risk maps as communication tools at the interface of scientific modelling, visual design, and human risk perception.

Patterns and Determinants of Mortality in Grey Wolves (Canis lupus)

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
This systematic review reveals the global patterns and drivers of grey wolf mortality, highlighting the high mortality risk associated with human coexistence for this cursorial carnivore, and reshaping previous knowledge to guide management and conservation strategies.

Home Range and Habitat Selection of Chamois: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
A systematic review of 22 studies reveals a research bias toward the Alpine chamois, leaving other subspecies understudied. Males occupy larger home ranges, and the species consistently selects steep, high‐elevation terrain while avoiding snow‐covered areas and human disturbance.

Five Hidden Species in a Widespread European Vertebrate: Disentangling the Alpine Newt Cryptic Species Complex Through Genomic Phylogeography

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Through genomic phylogeography, previously unrecognised biodiversity can be revealed. The alpine newt serves as a case in point: this taxon carries highly distinct mtDNA clades and has a severely fragmented range. We obtain genome‐wide data with target enrichment by sequence capture to delineate cryptic species and disentangle their ...

Separating Myths From Facts About Bread and Health

Nutrition Bulletin, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 148-158, March 2026.
ABSTRACT White bread remains a staple food in many countries and global consumption continues to increase. However, there is an increasingly contentious debate, carried out particularly in social media and the popular press, about the adverse effects on health of factory‐produced sliced white bread as opposed to the whole grain breads made with ...

Phylogeography and Contact Zones of the Common Grass Snake in Poland (Squamata: Natricidae: Natrix natrix)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 209-219, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Until now, the genetic identity of common grass snakes (Natrix natrix) in Poland remained poorly understood. This study presents the first comprehensive phylogeographic analysis for Poland using mitochondrial DNA sequences (cyt b and ND4 + tRNAs) and 13 nuclear microsatellite loci.
