We develop and test a more comprehensive theory of the sources and effects of workplace favoritism by drawing on a large, agency-wide sample of U.S. Federal Aviation Administration employees. We report how members of various underrepresented groups differ in their perceptions of a variety of sources of favoritism. We find that their perceptions of ...

The differences in gut microbiota among different populations, to a certain extent, reflect the degree of interaction between individuals within populations. To assess the interaction levels among several small populations of Przewalski’s gazelle (Procapra przewalskii) (n = 105, from seven different regions) based on differences in gut microbiota, ...
Through the lens of transformative learning theory, this qualitative study examines how pre-service teachers (PSTs) in a teacher education program in rural Appalachia shared their perspectives on their preparation to work with diverse students. It examines how their lived experiences and their teacher education program impacted their approach to un...

Accurate knowledge of geographic ranges of species is essential for effective conservation management. Species with large distributions and good connectivity are presumed to be resilient to adverse localized/regional conditions, whereas those with small ranges and, thus, smaller population sizes are more likely to be vulnerable. The rich benthic as...
Multiword Expressions (MWEs) make a good case study for linguistic diversity due to their idiosyncratic nature. Defining MWE canonical forms as types, diversity may be measured notably through disparity, based on pairwise distances between types. To this aim, we train static MWE-aware word embeddings for verbal MWEs in 14 languages, and we show int...

To mitigate the issues of inequity, exclusion, and a lack of diversity in the solar and space physics research community, a Research Topic collection gathered articles of how scientists in this discipline are taking strides to make this community more welcoming. This review summarizes the key advice from those articles and offers practical actions ...

Using a DNA barcoding approach, we document an extensive number of inter-species cryptic introductions of bladed Bangiales (Pyropia) at an historic oyster aquaculture site in the Southern North Sea. We sampled the intertidal of 20 locations along the Belgian and Dutch coastline, ranging from sheltered to exposed, between February 2022 and April 202...

Knowledge of past and present genetic diversity within a breed is critical for the design and optimization of breeding programs as well as the development of strategies for the conservation of genetic resources. The Polypay sheep breed was developed at the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station (USSES) in 1968 with the goal of improving productivity in West...
Employers increasingly commit to embracing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in their workplaces. A key strategy for communicating this commitment is the use of DEI statements in recruitment materials, including job advertisements. However, this practice is ad hoc and is mostly viewed as a matter of compliance or impression management. This pap...
