Exotic plant invasions threaten ecological communities world-wide. Some species are limited by a lack of suitable pollinators, but the introduction of exotic pollinators can facilitate rapid spread. In Tasmania, where many non-native plants are naturalised, exotic honeybees (Apis mellifera) and bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) have become established. We determined how these species affect the po...

In three experiments, we investigated how retrieval cues affect memory for cognitive maps. Participants first rated a list of landmarks either for the importance of the activity performed or for the frequency of visitation at each landmark (Experiments 1 and 2), or on both dimensions (Experiment 3). Landmarks ranked high and low on these dimensions were selected and served as the bases for dist...

The number of Latino immigrant children is expanding rapidly, and the factors that affect their health are multiple and interlinked. We therefore propose to describe the sociodemographic characteristics of a mostly Dominican immigrant population, to examine to what extent immigrant status and other factors play a role in determining measures of their children’s health and well-being, and finall...

This paper aims to advance theory and knowledge about prison visitation by organizing prior studies within a framework of enablers barriers examining how practical, relational, experiential factors explain variation in visiting among 773 adult males across eight Dutch prisons. Findings suggest that all three domains play out at once influence visitation. Whether visitors come visit seems depend...

oor birth outcomes can have negative consequences for children’s health and development and have been associated with increased risk for altreatment. Preterm and low birth weight (LBW) abies face an elevated chance of early mortality, ealth problems, and developmental delays. LBW nfants are twice as likely as their normal-weight peers o be placed in foster care and to be maltreated over heir ea...

This journal issue comprises reports concerning program evaluations of key national home visitation models. No single evaluation can answer all the questions of interest about a program, nor is any evaluation perfect, which means that readers must carefully weigh the intended purpose of the evaluation and the evaluation's strengths and weaknesses before deciding what conclusions can credibly be...
