Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 As flying vertebrates go, hummingbirds are veritable humdingers. Featherweight members of the vertebrate subphylum, some species of hummingbirds can thrive at heights of 5,000 meters above sea level, hovering in thin air at high-altitude habitats, which pose formidable challenges to certain forms of flight. With rising altitude, the drop in atmospheric

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of
