External structures at the nest‐site predict asymmetric architecture of nests in a mud‐building bird
Ibis, EarlyView.In the animal kingdom, nests are essential structures and textbook examples of extended phenotypes. However, the relationship between builders, nest traits and the nest‐site remains poorly understood. We indirectly examine whether structures in the nest‐site influence nest‐building behaviour, specifically focusing on their effect on nest architecture ...

Competition Enforcement and Accounting for Intangible Capital
The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Antitrust laws mandate review of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) that exceed an asset size threshold based on accounting standards that exclude most intangible capital. We show that this exclusion leads to thousands of intangible‐intensive M&As being nonreportable. Acquirers in nonreportable deals achieve higher equity values and price markups,

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Firms are not necessarily geographically static, in fact, they sometimes move across space within an economy. We define three possible destination types for relocating firms: major cities (urbanization), urbanized districts (suburbanization), and rural districts (counterurbanization).

Monojets and mono-photons from light higgsino pair production at LHC14
, 2014 Naturalness arguments imply the existence of higgsinos lighter than 200-300 GeV. However, because these higgsinos are nearly mass degenerate, they release very little visible energy in their decays, and signals from electroweak higgsino pair production ...

More Science Than Art: The First Botanical Garden in Portugal (c. 1650)
Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gabriel Grisley, a German physician, came to Portugal and founded a garden near the Xabregas River in Lisbon, during the 1610s under the Spanish kings' rule. In view of the utility a botanic garden represented for the kingdom, he was able to obtain a royal privilege from King João IV during the Restauration War against the Spanish (1640–1668).
