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.

Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...

An experimental approach to assess the combined effects of multiple stressors on a large vertebrate species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The design of experiments to investigate the combined effects of multiple stressors requires exposing target organisms to multiple combinations of stressor doses. Concurrent manipulation of stressors is often infeasible with wildlife, but long‐lasting health effects allow individual health to be used as an integrator of prior stressor exposure.

Beyond main effects assumption in Conjoint Analysis: Comparison of Conjoint Value Analysis vs. Choice-based Conjoint. Statistical approach and construction of designs applied to New Product Development

ACI Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierías, 2015
The assumption of only main effects in Conjoint Analysis methods has created a debate whether to focus or not on the impact of interactions in determining the most prefered combination of attributes of a product. In this research a comparison of Conjoint

Basic income trials and the politics of scale: A research agenda

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing popularity of basic income has led to extensive trials of the policy in numerous settings across the world. However, analysis of the politics of basic income, and in particular the political dynamics preceding and resulting from trial programs, lags. In response, we propose a research agenda that uses political scale to investigate

Unpacking Welfare Deservingness Theory: Evidence From the Perceived Deservingness of Gig Workers

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The theory of welfare deservingness provides valuable insights into the social legitimacy of welfare programs and the principles underlying policy design. In examining the question of who deserves what and why, established deservingness criteria emphasize that individuals demonstrating motivation to work (“reciprocity”) are typically perceived

Immigration, Beneficiary Assumptions, and Welfare Support

Review of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Previous research demonstrates that assumptions and perceptions about who benefits from welfare programs and the deservingness of those welfare beneficiaries play a considerable role in shaping individuals' welfare attitudes. However, a holistic understanding of how these assumptions and perceptions are formed remains limited. In this study, I
