The cat's out of the bag: Examining US wildlife trade of felids from 2000 to 2020
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Felids feature heavily in the wildlife trade, and an investigation into LEMIS data from 2000 to 2020 showed felid imports were dominated by bobcats and Canada lynx for fur, while tigers and leopards were the most commonly traded cats in the illegal market, primarily as medicinal products.

Difference and the Liberation of Sufficient Reason
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract The Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) holds that every event and entity can be explained by a sufficient reason or cause. Philosophers have long struggled with the question of the PSR's compatibility with freedom, for if what occurs or exists follows necessarily from its sufficient reason then it seems it could not have been otherwise ...

Dispersal mediates metapopulation response to local and regional stressors
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.A feature of recent insect declines is that widespread, formerly common species are among the worst affected. We designed a metapopulation simulation to ask how dispersal capability interacts with landscape and population stressors that act at different spatial scales.

A Matrix Approach for Divisibility Properties of the Generalized Fibonacci Sequence
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2013 We give divisibility properties of the generalized Fibonacci sequence by matrix methods. We also present new recursive identities for the generalized Fibonacci and Lucas sequences.

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.Abstract In the context of the European Union's (EU's) geoeconomic shift, the governance of Trade and Sustainable Development (TSD) has become a central yet contested pillar of its external trade policy. Accusations of green colonialism highlight the stakes around how partner countries interpret the EU's normative agenda.

Banking with Inside Money: An Efficiency Analysis
Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract We show that banks do not decentralize the first best in a nominal Diamond–Dybvig economy with inside money. Furthermore, state‐contingent deposit contracts do not expand the consumption possibility set to include the first best either. Central banks can improve welfare but only for savers and only with unconventional monetary policy. Finally,

Solving a Diophantine problem using different expressions of the difference of two squares
Spreadsheets in Education, 2013 Guided discovery learning can be included in the teaching methods supporting independent and active learning. This paper presents ways how to create and implement guided discovery lessons focused on the investigation of some properties of natural numbers.

Divisibility Properties of Recurrent Sequences
Nonlinear Analysis, 2008 Let m, r ∈ N. We will show, that the recurrent sequences xn = x n r n−1 + 1 (mod g), xn = x n! n−1 + 1 (mod g) and xn = x r n n−1 + 1 (mod g) are periodic modulo m, where m ∈ N, and we will find some estimations of periods and pre-periodic parts.
