Critical tipping points in dung beetle communities: Implications for conservation in the Atlantic Forest biome

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Minor land‐use changes consistently lead to abrupt biodiversity shifts across all diversity dimensions, favoring generalist dung beetle species while excluding sensitive specialists.

The Legacy of Policy Inaction in Climate‐Growth Models

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To better understand the structure and core mechanisms of a broad class of climate‐growth models, we study a simplified version of the dynamic integrated model of climate and the economy (DICE) through the lens of growth theory. We analytically show that this model features a continuum of saddle‐point stable steady states.

‘Let's Go to the Land Instead’: Indigenous Perspectives on Biodiversity and the Possibilities of Regenerative Capital

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The land has been a source of capital accumulation since colonization through extractive activities like mining and industrial agriculture.

Unilateral Action on Climate Change and the Moral Obligation to Take Leadership

Journal of Social Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We claim that a moral obligation to take climate leadership by means of unilateral mitigation depends on the existence of a plausible follow‐the‐leader mechanism whereby unilateral mitigation by some increases the probability of sufficient mitigation by others to avert catastrophic climate impacts.
