The ‘big houses‐big cars dilemma’: How do we reconcile the prevalence of positive correlations among life history traits?

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Life history theory assumes that there are negative correlations among different components of the life history—investing more in reproduction now means taking resources away from growth, maintenance or the ability to reproduce in the future.

Saline versus alkaline stresses in paddy soils drive divergent microbial nutrient limitations despite shared carbon constraints

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil salinization and alkalization often suppress microbial functional activity, triggering negative feedback loops in microbial metabolism, degrading nutrients and agricultural productivity.

Shared Vocabulary between Meiteilon and Tai Varieties and Pre‐Modern Language Contact on the Indo‐Myanmar Border1

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines lexical and phonological evidence for language contact between Old and modern Meiteilon (Manipuri) and Tai varieties, identifying loanwords relating to domestic life, trade and literary culture. Comparative data from Shan dialects and Old Meiteilon manuscripts such as the Cheitharon Kumpapa are employed in contextualising

ENVIRONMENTAL STATECRAFT AND CHANGING ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS: Chengdu's Ecological Preservation and Eco‐development

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article develops the concept of environmental statecraft to study changing urban environmental politics in China and beyond. Our review of existing conceptions reveals a growing need to account for temporal and geographical complexity. Neoliberal conceptions of eco‐state restructuring are increasingly strained by contemporary geopolitical

Effect of Salinity Stress on Gut–Brain–Gonad Axis in the Red‐Eared Slider (Trachemys scripta elegans)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The increase in salinity leads to changes in the gut microbiota and metabolites of Trachemys scripta elegans, affecting the synthesis and secretion of neurotransmitters or precursors, which can inhibit the secretion of reproductive hormones and affect the self‐renewal and differentiation process of spermatogonial stem cells.

Permian Large Igneous Provinces and Their Paleoenvironmental Effects

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 417-434., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
