frontiermetrics: An R Package for Characterizing Deforestation Frontiers
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Deforestation frontiers are major drivers of biodiversity loss, carbon emissions, and ecosystem degradation, yet our understanding of how deforestation progresses in these frontiers is limited. We present frontiermetrics, an R package to quantify a range of metrics describing the speed, severity, and spatio‐temporal patterns of forest loss. The package

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine the impact of Brazil's “Mother‐Friendly Care” accreditation program on hospital choice. Using administrative data on births in the Brazilian public health system from 2008–2019, we estimate a nested logit demand model that allows for differential substitution patterns based on existing Baby‐Friendly Hospital Initiative (IHAC ...

Effects of climate change on marine biodiversity on the western Atlantic coast
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The current climate crisis, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, threatens global biodiversity, including that in marine ecosystems. However, projections for the western Atlantic Ocean that jointly quantify species richness and endemism while accounting for spatially biased and incomplete occurrence data remain limited.

Multidimensional Militarisation, Evidence From Mexico's War on Drugs
International Social Science Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article documents different dimensions of militarisation observed in Mexico since the start of the war on drugs.

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heritability (h2) is a key parameter in animal breeding, but its magnitude and consistency across pure‐bred (PB) and cross‐bred (CB) pig populations remain poorly understood. This study aimed to compare heritability estimates between PB and CB populations for economically relevant traits through a systematic review and meta‐analysis.

Genetic factors, such as the Complement Receptor 1 (CR1) gene, were also identified to have an impact on cognition.

Plant‐Based Diet and Sleep Quality in Adults: Exploring the Role of Lifestyle and Health Mediators
Nutrition Bulletin, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigated the association between plant‐based dietary indices (PDI) and sleep quality and examined the mediating roles of lifestyle and health‐related factors. A total of 5260 participants (18–65 years) were included. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). PDI—including overall (oPDI), healthy
