The Brand‐New Overestimation Effect: Materialism and Identity Misforecasting As Cognitive Barriers to Second‐Hand Consumption

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the rise of circular fashion, buying brand‐new garments remains the societal norm. This research identifies a cognitive bias hindering sustainable consumption: identity misforecasting, by which consumers mispredict how much a brand‐new purchase will enhance their identity.

The magnitude and economic replacement value of wild meat obtained from ‘recreational’ big game hunting in the United States

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.

Data‐Driven Methods for Multiple and Dual Response Optimization on Operational Data Using Stochastic PRIM

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upon establishing multiple response optimization (MRO) or dual response optimization (DRO), response surface methodology (RSM) acts as a conventional model‐driven framework for optimizing small‐sized experimental data to derive an input condition in which a decent response is expected.

(In)justice in Smart Cities: Barriers and an Integrative Framework for Solution Pathways From a Global Perspective

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smart city initiatives aim for sustainability and inclusiveness, but recent evidence shows that they often lead to injustices. Although this contradiction has received growing academic attention, a comprehensive understanding of how justice is addressed within smart city practices remains limited.

Using thermal death time models to analyze cold stress resistance across Drosophila species

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Chill susceptible insects such as Drosophila are vulnerable to progressive disruption of homeostasis during cold stress, and low‐temperature exposure is a key factor affecting their physiology and distribution.

Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.
