Information framing and the impact of nutrition label serving size change
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract The framing of information can significantly influence how consumers interpret and respond to it. This paper investigates how the change in serving sizes in Nutrition Facts Panel (NFP) affects consumer choices for carbonated soft drinks (CSD). We first estimate a reduced form difference‐in‐differences (DiD) model to document causal effects on ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The soil depth of underground storage organs (USOs) of geophytes involves cost–benefit trade‐offs and may relate to USO age, size, and disturbances such as fire and herbivory. Yet determinants of USO depth are poorly studied. We posit that belowground mammalian predation of USOs is a selective force for the positive relationship ...
