Armed Conflict and Livestock Species Choices in Northern Nigeria: Evidence From Panel Data Analysis
Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how armed conflict influences livestock species choices among households in northern Nigeria, a region with livelihoods largely dependent on livestock keeping. Using household panel survey data with global georeferenced conflict data, this study observes significant trends in livestock ownership patterns from 2010 to 2016 ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Investigating the decline of a caribou population in central British Columbia, we found that 1) recent wildfires were a stronger draw for primary ungulate prey than cutblocks, 2) most predators were associated with primary prey but had mixed responses to disturbance, and 3) caribou used cutblocks, potentially increasing their risk.

Measuring herding intensity: a hard task [PDF]
This paper addresses the traditional Lakonishok, Shleifer and Vishny (LSV) herding measure and points out its lack of internal consistency. Frey, Herbst and Walter (2007) have shown by empirical simulations that LSV is biased.

Mapping interactions between winter recreationists and an endangered ungulate
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Southern mountain caribou are a federally designated species at risk, with declines occurring throughout their range. This species overlaps spatially and temporally in their late‐winter habitats with heli‐skiing, an activity that relies on helicopters to transport skiers to remote mountainous locales.

Institutional Herding, Business Groups, and Economic Regimes: Evidence from Japan [PDF]
To gain new and important insights into institutional herding, we study Japan for the following reasons: we can examine a market that is known for its active institutional investors, we can investigate the impacts of business grouping (i.e., the keiretsu)

Bears in North America: Habitats, hunting, and politics
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We review the management status of the 3 species of bears in North America: the black bear, the grizzly bear, and the polar bear. The history of hunting has played a large role in the current management for bears, but the future viability of bear populations will depend on attention to protecting adequate habitats.

Herd Behaviors in Financial Markets
, 2004 We investigate the herd behavior of returns for the yen-dollar exchange rate in the Japanese financial market. It is obtained that the probability distribution $P(R)$ of returns $R$ satisfies the power-law behavior $P(R) \simeq R^{-\beta}$ with the ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semiarid regions like the Negev Desert face significant challenges due to low precipitation, nutrient‐poor soils, and grazing‐induced land degradation. Traditional grazing practices, particularly sheep corrals, have created nutrient‐rich hotspots that have influenced soil nutrient dynamics and vegetation patterns for decades.
