Skills, Not Just Will: Experimental Evidence From Uganda on Transparency in Public Procurement

Public Administration Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Governments are usually the largest purchasers of goods and services, creating significant opportunities for corruption.

Applied nucleation promotes recovery of New Zealand raised bog vegetation toward a reference community

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Applied nucleation aims to restore degraded ecosystems efficiently by establishing vegetation patches that increase in biodiversity and extent through natural dispersal and facilitation. Although widely tested in terrestrial ecosystems, its long‐term outcomes in wetlands remain poorly understood, particularly how restored ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2716-2734, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...
