Positive but variable effects of crop diversification on biodiversity and ecosystem services
Global Change Biology, 2021 Ecological theory suggests that biodiversity has a positive and stabilizing effect on the delivery of ecosystem services. Yet, the impacts of increasing the diversity of cultivated crop species or varieties in agroecosystems are still under scrutiny. The

Extant timetrees are consistent with a myriad of diversification histories
Nature, 2020 Time-calibrated phylogenies of extant species (referred to here as ‘extant timetrees’) are widely used for estimating diversification dynamics1. However, there has been considerable debate surrounding the reliability of these inferences2–5 and, to date ...

Does Diversification Cause the 'Diversification Discount'? [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2000 This paper examines whether the discount of diversified firms can actually be attributed to diversification itself, using recent econometric developments about causal inference with non-experimental data. The effect of diversification on firm value is unbiasedly estimated by matching diversified and single-segment firms on the propensity score??the ...
