Distribution, scale, and drivers of mass mortality events in Europe's freshwater bivalves

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are decimating populations and compromising key ecosystem functions around the globe. One taxon particularly vulnerable to MMEs is freshwater bivalve mollusks. This group has important ecosystem engineering capacities and includes highly threatened and highly invasive taxa.

Global overview of progress in respecting the contributions of traditional knowledge in biodiversity governance

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recognition and engagement of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IP&LCs) and other traditional knowledge (TK) holders in formal biodiversity governance remain limited, despite their significant contribution to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity through their knowledge, innovations, practices, and land stewardship.

Repeated Exposure to Hydroperoxides of Linalool Induces Immunologically Verified Allergic Contact Dermatitis

Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
Patch testing and repeated use (ROAT) with Lin‐OOH revealed dose‐dependent reactions in sensitised individuals. Lin‐OOH 1.0% was the most reliable patch test concentration to confirm CA in our cohort. Skin biopsy gene expression analysis shows upregulation of IL1β, IL4, GATA3 and CCL22, confirming activation of immune pathways consistent with fragrance

Regional Trade Agreements and International R&D Spillovers: Implications for Developing Countries

The Developing Economies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We provide new evidence on heterogeneous international research and development (R&D) spillovers from partners of regional trade agreements (RTAs) and non‐partners using a sample of 45 economies in the period 1995–2017. We construct separate R&D stocks for RTA partners and non‐partners and find that spillovers from RTA partners are stronger ...

Interdependence of government expenditure among European countries: Productivity spillover and strategic interaction

Economic Inquiry, EarlyView.
Abstract We build an endogenous growth model that distinguishes productive and welfare government expenditures and embeds fiscal externalities. The model yields three testable hypotheses: (i) productive expenditure raises growth (Barro effect); (ii) productive expenditure generates cross‐country productivity spillovers; (iii) government expenditure ...

How religion mediates the fertility response to maternity benefits

Economic Inquiry, EarlyView.
Abstract Do religious beliefs affect responses to fertility incentives? We examine a 1982 maternity benefits expansion in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in a difference‐in‐differences framework with similar East European countries as comparisons. To isolate the importance of religion, we compare women who did and did not grow up in religious households ...
