Assessment of intraspecific skull variation in the Campanian baenid turtle Plesiobaena antiqua
Abstract Baenids are freshwater paracryptodiran turtles with a fossil record ranging from the Early Cretaceous to the Eocene. The baenid Plesiobaena antiqua is the most common turtle in the Campanian (Late Cretaceous) Dinosaur Park Formation in Canada, but the apparent intraspecific variation remains poorly understood.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Confronting Biodiversity Risk: Its Role in Shaping Corporate External Financing Choice
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how biodiversity risk shapes corporate financing decisions. We propose a Financing Hierarchy Distortion framework, arguing that biodiversity risk amplifies information asymmetry and legitimacy costs, thereby pushing firms toward debt‐heavy adjustments.

Peer Pressure in Green Innovation: Green Innovation or Greenwashing?
ABSTRACT This study examines whether a firm engages in green innovation or greenwashing in response to pressure from its business rivals' engagement in green innovation. Using a sample of 2958 firm‐year observations from 720 US publicly listed firms from 2010 to 2023, we find that a gap in green innovation between a focal firm and its top business ...
