Choosing Startup Investors: Does Gender Matter?

Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate whether startups respond differently to male and female investors during outbound origination, a setting where female investors often report being marginalized by male founders. Using a randomized field experiment, we examine gender differences in startups' responses to investor outreach.

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

Moth traps shine a light on nocturnal parasitoid wasps: Snapshot assessment of UK diversity and distributions

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Biological datasets are biased towards well‐known, charismatic taxa, meaning that our understanding of biodiversity is incomplete. Parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) are an ecologically important, yet often overlooked group of insects. We show that 5 months of sampling for parasitoid ‘bycatch’ at moth light traps operated by citizen scientists provides ...

Interactions of land use and climate change disproportionately impact Lepidoptera of the five major insect orders

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Land use and climate change are two major environmental pressures that interact to impact insect biodiversity. We compared the impacts of land use alone and of the interaction between land use and climate change on the five major insect orders. Most impacted were the Lepidoptera, showing 91% lower total abundance in sites of high‐intensity agriculture ...

Evaluation of drone system for thinning operations–a case study in Sweden

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Thinning operations in forestry typically involve a two‐machine system (TMS) with a harvester and a forwarder. Its productivity in different forest conditions is well documented. To date, drones have been used for data collection and surveillance but not as an alternative to a TMS.
