Biological invasions disrupt the relationship between size spectrum and trophic interactions in freshwater fish communities

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study shows that non‐native species alter the relationship between the size‐spectrum slope and the predator–prey mass ratio (PPMR) in freshwater fish communities by occupying distinct trophic niches. Abstract The size spectrum, which describes the relationship between abundance (or biomass) and body size, is an ataxic approach that can provide ...

Boredom, despondency, and the scourge that lays waste at noon: an anthropology of acedia Ennui, abattement et le fléau qui frappe à midi : une anthropologie de l'acédie

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Attentive to the ways that inertia can take hold of life, Catholic monks recognize despondency as a potential not only within the monastery, but in contemporary society more widely. Such experiences are regularly mapped onto an understanding of what early Christian monks termed ‘acedia’ (a Greek term that can be translated as ‘lack of care’). Taking as

ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THE NIGHT: Discovering Community and Care in Night Shift Work

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the burgeoning attention being paid to the night‐time economy (NTE) in and by cities, the demands and impacts of night work have gathered increasingly scholarly attention. Research has centred on the darker side of these, pointing to workers' precarity and vulnerability. What if we attend also to a ‘brighter side’ of the night and night

Link prediction in ecological meta‐networks under extreme taxonomic bias

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological networks offer powerful insights into community function but, without first characterizing these networks accurately, our ability to detect and interpret changes under environmental stress is limited. We develop an extension of the Covariate‐Informed Link Prediction (COIL) framework to reduce bias in ecological link prediction when ...

When machines join the moral circle: The persona effect of generative AI agents in collaborative reasoning

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Generative AI is increasingly positioned as a peer in collaborative learning, yet its effects on ethical deliberation remain unclear. We report a between‐subjects experiment with university students (N = 217) who discussed an autonomous‐vehicle dilemma in triads under three conditions: human‐only control, supportive AI teammate or contrarian ...

GMP‐compliant production, validation and dosimetry of clinical grade [18F]3‐(3‐fluoropropyl)‐2‐phenyl‐2,3‐dihydrobenzo[d]thiazole ([18F]FPBT) for oxidative stress PET imaging

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of various diseases, yet current methods for its non‐invasive detection remain limited. This study aimed to systematically validate a superoxide‐selective PET tracer, [18F]FPBT, for the early diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of oxidative stress‐related conditions ...
