Chromosome‐Level Genome Assemblies of Two Softshell Turtles with ZZ/ZW Provide Insights into TE‐Driven Recombination Suppression in Sex Chromosomes

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study presents the first genomic identification and characterization of ZW sex chromosomes in two soft‐shelled turtle species through genome assembly and resequencing. We reveal the structural organization of ZW chromosomes, identifying both pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) and differentiated regions.

From politics to economics: The investigation of the determinants of local administrative hierarchy in the Tang–Song transition

open access: yesAsia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 39-78, March 2025.
Abstract This study collects original data to examine the determinants of classification criteria of county hierarchy and its rank variations during the Tang–Song period. The results reveal that the county hierarchy was affected by both economic and political situations, with more emphasis on politics in Tang and economics in Song.

Rise of the south: How Arab‐led maritime trade transformed China, 671–1371 CE

open access: yesAsia‐Pacific Economic History Review, Volume 65, Issue 1, Page 3-38, March 2025.
Abstract China's center of socioeconomic activities was in the North prior to the Tang dynasty but is in the South today. We demonstrate that Arab and Persian Muslim traders triggered that transition when they came to China in the late seventh century, by lifting maritime trade along the South Coast and re‐creating the South.

Rulers on the road: Itinerant rule in the Holy Roman Empire, AD 919–1519

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Itinerant rule, rule exercised through traveling, was a common yet insufficiently researched, premodern form of governance. Studying the determinants of ruler itineraries in the Holy Roman Empire, AD 919–1519, we argue that rulers' visits targeted “marginal” elites.

Circular Carescapes in South Korea: The Migration–Care–Policy Circuit Developed During Urbanisation and Globalisation

open access: yesAsia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how outsourcing household care in modern South Korea has shaped gendered migration from both rural areas and abroad. To clarify the interplay between macro‐level power and individual lives—an aspect often treated piecemeal in earlier research—it introduces the concept of circular carescapes. This notion captures the looping
