Birch Leaves as a Minefield: Do Trichomes Mediate Neonate Caterpillar Site Selection?

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.

ABSTRACT We identify a spillover effect from Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) activity to CEO compensation.

We demonstrate that CEOs who don't engage in M&A, but have compensation peers who do, also experience increased pay and ...
