open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nestling begging is a key model for understanding animal communication and parent–offspring conflict. Dynamic begging displays are often interpreted as costly, honest signals of need, with honesty maintained by viability costs, as proposed in Godfray's influential signalling model.

From muscle fibres to muscle gears: how dynamic fascicle orientation and shape change impact skeletal muscle function

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle architectural design strongly affects force‐generating capacity and excursion range, and its functional importance to animal and human movement is well founded. Traditionally, this ‘structure–function relation’ has been inferred from architecture measurements with muscles at rest (from anatomical dissections or medical imaging ...

Turning Green Into Gold: The Impact of Green Intellectual Capital on Performance in European Firms

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of green intellectual capital (GIC)—green human, structural and relational capital—on business performance in European firms. Using Eurobarometer 498 data and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS‐SEM), results show that GIC explains 15.4% of the variance in business performance, with green ...

Intelligent Manufacturing, Industrial Agglomeration, and Green and Low‐Carbon Development: A Nonlinear Path Test Based on the Theory of Ecological Modernization

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing upon ecological modernization theory as the analytical framework, this study employs macro‐level longitudinal tracking data covering China's major regions as research samples. It measures the green and low‐carbon development (GLCD) of manufacturing from the four dimensions—“carbon reduction, pollution mitigation, ecological expansion ...

Elaborating the Motivations and Attitudes Driving Interest in Voluntary Biodiversity Credits

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global biodiversity loss has prompted the search for new sources of conservation finance, such as voluntary biodiversity credits (VBCs). However, despite optimistic market projections, current uptake of VBCs is limited. Adopting an interpretive approach, we analyse 21 semistructured interviews with early market actors (buyers, sellers ...

The Use of Renewable Energy in Prominent City Buildings: A Diffusion Study on Top European Football Organizations

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study applied the diffusion of innovation theory to investigate the rate of diffusion of renewable energy sources used by Europe's top professional football stadiums and the relationship with carbon neutrality. A discrete diffusion model estimated the diffusion of renewable energy to saturation, and a multivariate logistic ...
