Dynamic returns to scale and geography in U.S. banking

open access: yesPapers in Regional Science, Volume 102, Issue 1, Page 53-85, February 2023., 2023
Abstract We observe spatial cost dependence among medium‐sized and large U.S. banks (1998Q1–2020Q4). We contribute to the literature by accounting for this using an accessible dynamic spatial econometric cost model. For a movement along a bank's output expansion path, we calculate the cost returns that spillover to/from the bank. The noticeable impacts

Plant chemical diversity and its frequency have distinct but complementary effects on insect foraging

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1362-1371, May 2022., 2022
Whereas previous work investigates how the amount of chemical diversity in a plant population influences insect ecology, our results indicate that local spatial distribution of diversity is equally important. A key implication of this work is the potential to design cultivar mixtures spatially, at the movement scale of target organisms, to create more ...

Inter‐country differences in the cultural ecosystem services provided by cockles

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 71-87, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Coastal systems provide many cultural ecosystem services (CES) to humans. Fewer studies have focused solely on CES, while those comparing CES across countries are even rarer. In the case of shellfish, considerable ecosystem services focus has been placed on nutrient remediation, with relatively little on the cultural services provided, despite

Urban sprawl into Natura 2000 network over Europe

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 1063-1072, August 2021., 2021
Abstract Urban growth is a major threat to biodiversity conservation at the global scale. Its impacts are expected to be especially detrimental when it sprawls into the landscape and reaches sites of high conservation value due to the species and ecosystems they host, such as protected areas. I analyzed the degree of urbanization (i.e., urban cover and

Trends in seabird breeding populations across the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 846-858, June 2021., 2021
Abstract The Great Barrier Reef is an iconic ecosystem, known globally for its rich marine biodiversity that includes many thousands of tropical breeding seabirds. Despite indications of localized declines in some seabird species from as early as the mid‐1990s, trends in seabird populations across the reef have never been quantified.

Cuerpos de cobre: Extractivismo en Chuquicamata, Chile

open access: yesThe Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 200-218, June 2021., 2021
Resumen ¿Qué extraen y qué producen los extractivismos? El presente artículo intenta responder a esta pregunta analizando críticamente, la relación entre cuerpos, trabajo y mi‐nería principalmente bajo el modelo neoliberal chileno, en la mina estatal de cobre a tajo abierto más grande del planeta: Chuquicamata.

Desempenho de vacas jovens nelore em pastagens de Brachiaria brizantha suplementadas ou não com fósforo/cálcio e ração durante a seca Performance of young nellore cows in Brachiaria brizantha pastures supplemented or not with dicalcium phosphate and concentrate during the dry season

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2004
Grande parte dos problemas do rebanho de cria, incluindo baixa taxa de prenhez e baixos pesos à desmama, está diretamente relacionada ao consumo inadequado de energia e/ou proteína, ou a deficiências de minerais e vitaminas.
