Some culture is hiding in plain sight in research on child development

British Journal of Developmental Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Child development is cultural in nature, yet a divide persists between a (cross‐)cultural developmental science niche alongside a seemingly a‐cultural mainstream. In particular, childhood research relying on convenience sampling in often Western, post‐industrial (i.e., WEIRD) societies rarely ventures into issues of culture and context ...

Evolutionary framework and tribal circumscription of Amaranthaceae sensu stricto based on a comprehensive phylogenomic analysis

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolutionary history of Amaranthaceae sensu stricto (s.s.) has been shaped by multiple whole‐genome duplications and rapid radiations, producing an ecologically diverse lineage whose internal relationships have long remained unresolved.

Prevalence of traded bird species in key biodiversity areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The use and trade of biodiversity involve tens of thousands of species that are exploited at a range of scales, intensities, and degrees of sustainability. As a result, some are highly threatened. Key biodiversity areas (KBAs) are sites of significance for the persistence of biodiversity identified nationally based on standardized criteria ...

Using the capabilities approach to achieve people‐centered conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Top‐down interventions carried out by state and nonstate institutions to conserve biodiversity and improve the lives of forest‐proximate people (FPP) in the Global South tend to reflect economistic understandings of human well‐being. More progressive and people‐centered conservation projects are guided by normative visions of how the world ...

Are natural resources a curse on the distributional consequences of financial development?

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how natural resource dependence shapes the distributional effects of financial development in developing economies. Using a balanced panel of 90 countries from 1995 to 2022 and dynamic panel and nonlinear threshold methods, we show that financial development reduces wealth inequality when resource dependence is low, but ...

Successes and opportunities for solutions‐oriented conservation research: Lessons learned from avian science

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation science struggles with an ongoing divide between research and action. We discussed examples of successful solutions‐oriented avian conservation science. Successes were characterized by communication, collaboration, and co‐development with local communities, decision‐makers, practitioners, and Indigenous communities.

Successful phased‐release reintegration of captive‐origin cheetah for metapopulation supplementation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation programs increasingly require consideration of rehabilitated individuals for translocations to reduce pressure on highly threatened wild populations. This case‐study evaluates the short‐term translocation success of captive‐origin cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) after phased‐release reintegration into the wild in South Africa.

Bovines, buffers and barriers: A social scientific perspective on rewilding in the Kavango‐Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Rewilding is often summarized with the three C's of Carnivores, Cores and Corridors. In this essay we propose a complementary perspective that focuses on the three B's of Bovines, Buffers and Barriers. This complementary perspective draws attention to rewilding as a social (rather than only ecological) challenge and is illustrated with insights from ...

Does nature shape risk preferences? Evidence from Chile, Norway, and Tanzania

Economic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 568-590, April 2025.
Abstract Does exposure to a more risky environment affect risk preferences? Going beyond single‐case study evidence, we report results from five surveys conducted in three countries and link this with administrative data to study whether a link between exposure and preferences is detectable and widespread. We find no evidence for endogenous preferences

The depth and breadth of capitalism at the Cape

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Limited liability company legislation was introduced to the Cape Colony in 1861. An amendment in 1892 led to wider adoption, expanding and diversifying the capital market. Using novel data from the Cape Joint Stock Archive between 1892 and 1902, this paper examines who invested, where capital flowed, and how these patterns shaped firm outcomes
