Open Astronomy, 2020 Among different models for determining the habitable zone (HZ) around a star, a Latitudinal Energy Balance Model (LEBM) is very beneficial due to its parametricity which keeps a good balance between complexity and simulation time.

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

Earth-like Habitats in Planetary Systems
, 2014 Understanding the concept of habitability is related to an evolutionary knowledge of the particular planet-in-question. Additional indications so-called "systemic aspects" of the planetary system as a whole governs a particular planet's claim on ...

A 3200‐year weathering record of the Mekong River basin by sediments from the South China Sea
Boreas, EarlyView.The Mekong River is a mega‐river in East and Southeast Asia, and precipitation in its watershed influences more than 300 million people. However, the controlling factor in precipitation and weathering in the basin remains controversial. Here we present a high‐resolution record of weathering of the Mekong River basin over the past 3200 years by ...

Fraternal cooperation of hierarchical cancer parallels metazoan multicellularity and eusociality
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Metazoan multicellularity and eusociality — both outcomes of the fraternal major transitions — have numerous features in common such as uneven distribution of group‐establishing potential. In addition to this framework, I argue herein that the group‐forming principles of metazoan multicellularity and eusociality are analogous to hierarchical ...

Economica, EarlyView.Abstract This paper examines how the energy price shock post Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 affected property transactions. Using administrative data on transaction price and energy efficiency in the UK, we explore if buyers adjust behaviour in response to greater energy costs.

Is Immanent Critique Possible?
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Our social world is governed by norms. But do we have reason to follow them? On the one hand, critical theorists deny this: just because gendered norms tell women to cook and racialized people to serve does not mean that they should. On the other, critical theory relies on immanent critique.
