Low breeding propensity in a declining Arctic‐breeding swan revealed by telemetry data

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Many migratory bird populations are declining in the face of habitat degradation and climate change, making it important to identify which stages of their annual cycle are most affected in order to guide conservation measures. The Bewick's Swan Cygnus columbianus bewickii, an Arctic‐breeding waterfowl species, has suffered a dramatic population decline

Reactor physics modelling of accident tolerant fuel for LWRs using ANSWERS codes

open access: yesEPJ Nuclear Sciences & Technologies, 2016
The majority of nuclear reactors operating in the world today and similarly the majority of near-term new build reactors will be LWRs. These currently accommodate traditional Zr clad UO2/PuO2 fuel designs which have an excellent performance record for ...

The Ramadan Gambit: The Impact of Fasting on Cognitive Performance

open access: yesOxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT More than 2 billion people participate annually in Ramadan fasting, making its potential effects on cognitive performance important for workplaces, education and high‐stakes decision‐making. We study these effects in tournament chess, an incentivised, real‐world cognitive task in which move quality can be evaluated objectively by a strong ...

Deterrence, Development, and Denial: Securitising Climate‐Induced Mobility in the European Union

open access: yesContemporary European Politics, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate‐induced mobility poses a mounting governance challenge for the European Union (EU), where climate action, migration control, and security policy intersect in uneven and contested ways. While EU discourse frequently frames climate change as a “threat multiplier,” migration governance remains anchored in deterrence logics, producing a ...
