Does Economic Growth Drive Equitable Water and Sanitation Access? Assessing Inequality Reduction Across 64 Nations

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines whether economic growth reduces inequalities in access to water and sanitation across 64 countries over an average period of 13.5 years. Drawing on disaggregated data by income quintiles and rural–urban location, and employing ordinary least squares (OLS), two‐stage least squares (2SLS), and Seemingly Unrelated Regression

Energy Dependence, Energy Import Diversification, and Institutional Quality: Heterogeneous Impacts on Sustainable Economic Development in the European Union

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Energy dependence poses significant risks for economic development, particularly in regions that rely heavily on imported fossil fuels. This paper examines how energy dependence and energy import diversification influence economic development across 27 European Union countries between 2000 and 2022. Using IV‐GMM and panel quantile regressions,

Practical guidelines for Bayesian phylogenetic inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) [version 3; peer review: 3 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Open Research Europe
Phylogenetic estimation is, and has always been, a complex endeavor. Estimating a phylogenetic tree involves evaluating many possible solutions and possible evolutionary histories that could explain a set of observed data, typically by using a model of ...

Nitrogen Policy for Sustainable Agriculture in the US: Estimating Socially Optimal Application Rates and Economic Impacts

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen (N) application creates negative externalities via nitrate (NO3−) leaching that threatens human health and the emission of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas. This study determines socially optimal nitrogen application rates (SONR) for corn and wheat by considering the social costs of both pollutants. The assessment includes

Revisiting industry effects: The assignment of firms to industries

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Strategy research examines the drivers of firm performance. Variance decomposition studies have analyzed industry's impact, with little attention paid to the industry to which a firm is assigned. This study investigates how industry assignment affects the findings about industry's impact.

Assessing physiological, behavioral and movement responses to Suprelorin implant delivery methods in free‐ranging eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Overabundant populations of eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus in peri‐urban areas pose ecological and social challenges. Current management strategies are often hindered by animal welfare and logistical concerns. This study aimed to assess stress responses of kangaroos to two contraceptive delivery methods.

The performance of drones and artificial intelligence for monitoring sage‐grouse at leks

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Accurately monitoring sage‐grouse populations is critical for conservation, yet traditional ground‐based visual surveys face challenges in scalability and consistency, prompting the exploration of innovative drone‐based methodologies enhanced by artificial intelligence.

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Genetic population structure of red foxes Vulpes vulpes across a rural landscape: insights into population connectivity and spatial patterns

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human activities have shaped and are continuing to influence terrestrial landscapes, creating heterogenous, and often, fragmented landscapes. Generalist species, like the red fox Vulpes vulpes, show high flexibility in habitat use, and occur across the heterogeneous, anthropogenic landscapes of central Europe.
