Mind the Gap—An Empirical Analysis of the Attitude‐Behaviour Gap in Grocery Retailing

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The attitude‐behaviour gap describes the mismatch between what consumers express in terms of preferences and how they actually behave when making purchase decisions. This gap is particularly relevant for organic food, where consumers often show strong positive attitudes but do not consistently buy organic products.

Inter-ethnic Marriage and Partner Satisfaction [PDF]

This paper investigates immigrant assortative mating and relationship satisfaction. Using a modified random effects ordered probit model, the paper demonstrates that spouses of mixed couples are significantly less satisfied with their partner than native-

Interplay between fecundity, sexual and growth selection on the spring phenology of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.).

Peer Community Journal
Background: Plant phenological traits such as the timing of budburst or flowering can evolve on ecological timescales through response to fecundity and viability selection.

The Impact of Self‐Checkout Technology on Shopping Behavior in B2B Retail: Evidence From Point‐Of‐Sale Transaction Data

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of self‐checkout technology implementation on B2B customer shopping behavior using a novel methodological approach that combines propensity score matching with difference‐in‐differences analysis on actual point‐of‐sale transaction data.

Assortative mating and gene flow generate clinal phenological variation in trees

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background On-going climate change is shifting the timing of bud burst (TBB) of broad leaf and conifer trees in temperate areas, raising concerns about the abilities of natural populations to respond to these shifts.

20 questions on Adaptive Dynamics [PDF]

, 2005
Adaptive Dynamics is an approach to studying evolutionary change when fitness is density or frequency dependent. Modern papers identifying themselves as using this approach first appeared in the 1990s, and have greatly increased up to the present ...

Correcting Errors in the Adsorbed Intermediates of CO2 Electroreduction

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Flying over Jacob's ladder of density functional approximations: chemical accuracy in the DFT‐based modeling of CO2 reduction electrocatalysis can be approached with our simple semiempirical method to deconvolute and correct gas‐phase errors and adsorbed‐phase errors.

Color polymorphism and mating trends in a population of the alpine leaf beetle Oreina gloriosa.

PLoS ONE
The bright colors of Alpine leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) are thought to act as aposematic signals against predation. Within the European Alps, at least six species display a basal color of either blue or green, likely configuring a classic ...

Narcissism Guides Mate Selection: Humans Mate Assortatively, as Revealed by Facial Resemblance, following an Algorithm of “Self Seeking Like”

Evolutionary Psychology, 2004
Theoretical studies suggest that mating and pair formation is not likely to be random. Computer simulations suggested that sex among genetically complex organisms requires mate choice strategies for its evolutionary maintenance, to reduce excessive ...

Assortative mating on educational attainment leads to genetic spousal resemblance for polygenic scores [PDF]

, 2016
We examined whether assortative mating for educational attainment (“like marries like”) can be detected in the genomes of ~ 1600 UK spouse pairs of European descent. Assortative mating on heritable traits like educational attainment increases the genetic
