Generics favor stability

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
Humans seek to predict, explain, and control their environments. Generalizations—like those expressed by “children like candy” and “cigarettes cause cancer”—provide one resource to facilitate these tasks. We develop a proposal tying the acceptability judgments of generics to the psychological functions of generalizations.

An Optimal Control Framework for Multi‐Species Harvesting in the Southern Black Sea

Natural Resource Modeling, Volume 39, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The management of marine fisheries requires balancing ecological sustainability with economic profitability, particularly in ecosystems vulnerable to overexploitation. This study develops a multi‐species optimal control modeling framework for the southern Black Sea, focusing on three key species: horse mackerel (Trachurus mediterraneus) as ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2081-2102, October 2026.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Integrating Multiple Data Sources Improves Abundance Estimation in Spatial Capture–Recapture Models

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study demonstrates how integrating multiple data streams improves abundance estimation for a wide‐ranging marine population, eastern North Pacific blue whales. The application of this approach is valuable to accurately track population size which is critical to guide conservation and management strategies.

Insult to Injury: Population Impacts of Sublethal Entanglement and Vessel Strikes of Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Barataria Basin, Louisiana, 2011–2023

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Human interactions, specifically fishery entanglements (FI) and vessel strikes (VI), threaten marine mammals, including the Barataria Bay Estuarine System (BBE) Stock of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). We reviewed whole‐body photographs to estimate the prevalence of sublethal entanglement and vessel strike scars for 227 ...

Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,

Long-Term Photo-Identification Reveals the Population Dynamics and Strong Site Fidelity of Adult Whale Sharks to the Coastal Waters of Donsol, Philippines

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Donsol in the Philippines is the longest running community-based whale shark (Rhincodon typus) ecotourism site in Southeast Asia, with peak visitation in 2012 of over 27,000 tourists. In order to understand this aggregation and the importance of the area
