Beggars as Rational Choosers

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT American municipalities increasingly regulate panhandling. That regulation is controversial. The determinants of panhandling activeness are unknown, and it is doubted whether panhandling activity responds rationally to incentives. To shed light on these issues, we collect data on hundreds of panhandlers and the passersby they solicit at ...

Computational intelligence model for predicting the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete column

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping technology is commonly used to enhance the compressive strength (CS) of reinforced concrete (RC) members. Accurate prediction of the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete columns is crucial for optimizing structural design and helps reduce the time and costs associated with physical testing ...

Sponges are celebrated heterotrophs but also key primary producers on changing coral reefs

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trophic interactions and nutrient cycling lay at the heart of ecosystem health and biodiversity. In recent years, our understanding of these drivers has been repeatedly challenged by rapid and unanticipated climatic effects, combined with an increasing awareness that ...

Functional divergence drives the prevalence of low‐abundance species in bat assemblages

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are structured by a few common species, while most occur at low abundance. Understanding the drivers of this widespread pattern raises fundamental questions about community assembly rules and is important for applied ecology for identifying ...

Lichen bleaching as a response to long‐term experimental warming in the High Arctic

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Lichens are an important component of Arctic ecosystems. Studies have indicated a decline in the abundance of Arctic lichens during recent decades, which is often attributed to competitive pressure from vascular plants.
