Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although circulating nucleated red blood cells (cNRBCs) have previously been detected in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), their prevalence and clinical significance during steady‐state disease have not been established. We retrospectively analyzed 270 adults with an SS or Sβ0‐thalassemia genotype.

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Identification of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) before its hemorrhagic manifestations remains limited. We aimed to determine whether severe enlarged perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale (EPVS‐CSO) identify a prehemorrhagic stage of sporadic CAA by predicting the first appearance of CAA‐related hemorrhagic lesions or incident ...
