The urban island: climatic suitability of Linepithema humile (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and the role of cities in the invasion of the Western Palearctic

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urban environments provide favorable conditions for the introduction and spread of nonnative and invasive species like the Argentine ant, which exploit ecological and climatic homogenization in cities to overcome natural barriers. Monitoring the expansion of such species can be achieved through potential distribution models, which in this study ...

Dynamics of Collembola ecomorphological groups within a no‐till arable system

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract Collembolan ecomorphological groups (i.e., epiedaphic, hemiedaphic and euedaphic) have been proposed as bioindicators of soil health with potential to be applied in agricultural systems. While some studies have investigated disturbance gradients, there is a lack of monitoring studies showing trends over time evaluating changes in management ...

Biodiversity–food trade‐offs when agricultural land is spared from production

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity conservation in agricultural landscapes, the world's predominant land use, could involve sparing, or setting aside, agricultural land from production, implying biodiversity–food trade‐offs. Employing bird species and agricultural data in two panel data sets, we evaluate the extent of set‐aside's trade‐offs in England between 1992 ...

Habits Revealed

open access: yesReview of Economic Studies, 2010
This paper sets out necessary and sufficient empirical conditions for rational intrinsic habits models in the revealed preference tradition of Samuelson (1948), Houthakker (1950), Afriat (1967), and Browning (1989). The conditions in the paper are shown to be computationally straightforward and to yield set identification for certain features of the ...

Semi-Empirical Estimates of the Cosmic Planet Formation Rate

open access: yesGalaxies
We devise and exploit a data-driven, semi-empirical framework of galaxy formation and evolution, coupling it to recipes for planet formation from stellar and planetary science, to compute the cosmic planet formation rate, and the properties of the ...

Rain, rain, go away: 194 potential exclusion‐restriction violations for studies using weather as an instrumental variable

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Instrumental variable (IV) analysis relies on the exclusion restriction—that the instrument only affects the dependent variable via its relationship with the independent variable and not via other causal routes. However, scholars generally justify the exclusion restriction based on its plausibility.

Temporalities in Crisis: Analysing the Sacchi v. Argentina Case and Children's Rights in the Climate Emergency
