Using herbarium collections to study genetic responses to global change
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Earth's c. 406 million herbarium specimens represent a largely untapped resource of genetic data that could transform our understanding of global plant populations. Advances in DNA sequencing have made the extraction of genetic data from these preserved specimens increasingly feasible, enabling new insights into plant biodiversity and ...

Statewide Visual Geolocalization in the Wild
This work presents a method that is able to predict the geolocation of a street-view photo taken in the wild within a state-sized search region by matching against a database of aerial reference imagery. We partition the search region into geographical cells and train a model to map cells and corresponding photos into a joint embedding space that is ...

Measuring the Impact of Armed Conflict on Population Health: A Guide for Researchers
Population and Development Review, EarlyView.Abstract The humanitarian impact of armed conflict remains a significant international issue, with an estimated 2 billion people residing in fragile or conflict‐affected settings. Despite increasing attention and study of armed conflict and its impact on human populations, few studies have evaluated the methods necessary to assess such relationships ...

Population and Development Review, EarlyView.Abstract The quantification and analysis of forced displacement, driven by political unrest or natural disasters, has become increasingly central to both humanitarian and demographic research. With displaced populations reaching record numbers, there is an urgent need for accurate and timely data on displacement patterns, particularly disaggregated by ...

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The European Union's Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) obliges the importers and users of seven agricultural commodities to achieve supply chain traceability and prevent deforestation‐linked products from entering the EU market. This paper investigates how companies and producing countries in the coffee sector prepared for EUDR compliance by ...

The Need for Improved Public Transparency in the Era of Due Diligence Regulations
Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To address environmental and human rights issues in global commodity supply chains, governments increasingly require information from companies on their sourcing, as part of due‐diligence regulations (DDRs). This shift towards accountability to the regulator rather than to the public calls into question the role left for public transparency ...

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The 2023 European Union Regulation on Deforestation‐free Products (EUDR) is a transnational regulation aimed at addressing forest loss along the value chains of forest‐risk commodities. Grounding our analysis in new institutional theory with distinct behavioral drivers explaining actor behavior, and using qualitative methods, we draw on the ...

Natural Resources and Political Patronage in Africa: An Ethnicity Level Analysis
Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We investigate the effect of resource discoveries on ethnicity‐level political patronage in Africa using a large geospatial dataset of 254 ethnic groups in 15 countries over the period 1960–2004. We find that the first (or single first) resource discovery in a virgin ethnic homeland increases the share of cabinet posts of that ethnicity.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) are considered important for understanding primitive life on Earth and for guiding the search for life on other planets. These structures are regarded as macroscopic fossils of early communities of unicellular organisms that did not produce skeletons or shells. In this study, field observations
