A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1797-1820, July 2026.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of

Spatial assessment of recreational fishing displacement from marine protected areas

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs) to achieve healthy and resilient ecosystems is a proven conservation strategy to generate a wide range of ecological and socioeconomic benefits. However, the planning and design of MPAs must be well thought out to avoid unintended management consequences.

On the Transformative Nature of Luxury Consumption and Consumer Well‐Being: A Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda

Psychology &Marketing, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 1727-1757, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Consuming luxury products and services has received little systematic attention as a potential pathway to consumer well‐being, despite sporadic evidence suggesting that luxury experiences may catalyse self‐transformational processes and happiness‐related outcomes.

While this frame captures the violence of camp governance, it depicts refugee‐migrants as passive and says little about how camp space is inhabited, contested and remade in everyday life, least of all
