Spatial models can improve the experimental design of field-based transplant gardens by preventing bias due to neighborhood crowding. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2022
Neighborhood interactions in common gardens: spatial models provide novel insights into spatial interactions among neighboring plants that can alter experimental outcomes. While the paper presents two approaches to the treatment of spatial interactions, it also outlines opportunities for incorporating genotype‐mediated biotic interactions into designs ...

Contribution of microcosm experiments to conservation science. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Microcosms, or miniature experimental systems, have been used to develop models and theories in ecology. However, their contribution to conservation science is unclear. We explored the application, design, and impact of microcosms in conservation science from 469 systematically identified articles published from 1986 to 2023.

Stringency and timeliness of COVID‐19 policies in managing the pandemic in Queensland: Lessons from 2020

World Medical &Health Policy, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 570-586, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Queensland experienced relatively low case numbers during the first year of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. This may be due to timely, stringent policies, yet there is currently no research evaluating this link, despite the state government playing such a primary role in the pandemic response.

Social acceptance of policy instrument design during times of crisis

European Policy Analysis, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 167-190, Spring 2023., 2023
Abstract Disasters create challenges for governments as they need to design effective and legitimate policy instruments to deal with the crisis. In this paper, we analyze social acceptance of regulations and financial investments in crisis governance, taking the example of the COVID‐19 pandemic. By using data from two survey experiments in Switzerland,

In AI we trust? Citizen perceptions of AI in government decision making

Policy &Internet, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 390-409, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Using a survey experiment on the topic of tax auditing, we investigate artificial intelligence (AI) use in government decision making through the lenses of citizen red tape and trust. We find that individuals consider an AI‐led decision to be lower in red tape and trustworthiness than a decision by a human.

A field experiment characterizing variable detection rates during plant surveys

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 3, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Surveys aimed at finding threatened and invasive species can be challenging due to individual rarity and low and variable individual detection rates. Detection rate in plant surveys typically varies due to differences among observers, among the individual plants being surveyed (targets), and across background environments.
