The changing sociocultural context of wildlife conservation. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2020 Abstract We introduced a multilevel model of value shift to describe the changing social context of wildlife conservation. Our model depicts how cultural‐level processes driven by modernization (e.g., increased wealth, education, and urbanization) affect changes in individual‐level cognition that prompt a shift from domination to mutualism wildlife ...

Childhood maltreatment history and trauma‐specific predictors of parenting stress in new fathers
Infant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, Volume 44, Issue 6, Page 767-780, November 2023., 2023 Abstract For new fathers, parenting stress is a risk factor for impaired early parenting and child maltreatment perpetration. Predictors of parenting stress, including fathers’ own experiences of trauma, could be useful intervention targets to support new fathers.

How street‐level dilemmas and politics shape divergence: The accountability regimes framework
Policy Studies Journal, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 793-816, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Hierarchical accountability often proves insufficient to control street‐level implementation, where complex, informal accountability relations prevail and tasks must be prioritized. However, scholars lack a theoretical model of how accountability relations affect implementation behaviors that are inconsistent with policy.

Bayesian models for spatially explicit interactions between neighbouring plants
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, Page 2788-2798, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Interactions between neighbouring plants drive population and community dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems. Understanding these interactions is critical for both fundamental and applied ecology. Spatial approaches to model neighbour interactions are necessary, as interaction strength depends on the distance between neighbouring plants.

Growth and inequality in the Mexican states: Regimes, thresholds, and traps
Papers in Regional Science, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 1295-1322, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Using the inter‐regional economic inequality index and the gross state product per capita for the Mexican states over the period 1940–2015, we apply regime dynamics and hierarchical cluster analysis for segmenting the sample into regimes of Mexican states with similar performance.

The evolution of Zipf's Law for U.S. cities
Papers in Regional Science, Volume 99, Issue 3, Page 841-852, June 2020., 2020 Abstract Exploiting the hierarchical structure of cities and based on a dataset for U.S. cities between 1840 and 2016, the aim of this paper is to analyze the evolution of the U.S. city size distribution. For that purpose we estimate a general three‐parameter Zipf model, which can be traced back to Mandelbrot (1982), and validate our results by means ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 194-206, February 2020., 2020 Abstract Stand structure develops with stand age. Old‐growth forests with well‐developed stand structure support many species. However, development rates of stand structure likely vary with climate and topography. We modeled structural development of 4 key stand variables and a composite old‐growth index as functions of climatic and topographic ...

Papers in Regional Science, Volume 99, Issue 1, Page 135-164, February 2020., 2020 Abstract We investigate whether economic functional regions capture spatial clustering of core economic indicators better than administrative regions. For this purpose, we use hierarchical linear models to measure the degree of homogenization of different regional delineations.

Key drivers of at‐vessel mortality in demersal sharks
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Chondrichthyans are highly vulnerable to fisheries overexploitation, and postcapture mortality poses a significant threat to most species. Global bycatch mitigation guidelines recommend adopting hierarchical decision‐making approaches tailored to species‐specific vulnerabilities and socioeconomic and regulatory contexts.
