The Random Priority Mechanism Is Uniquely Simple, Efficient, and Fair
Econometrica, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 1603-1650, September 2026.Random Priority is a popular mechanism used to allocate a set of objects to a set of agents without the use of monetary transfers. Random Priority is appealing because it satisfies desirable efficiency, fairness, and incentive properties. Is it the only mechanism with these properties?

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...
