Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

When workers get to choose: Employment and wage responses to demand shocks in labour‐managed and conventional firms

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract In conventional firms (CFs), workers are unlikely to accept pay and hour reductions in order to secure their jobs, in particular because of information asymmetry. A specific type of firm is not subject to this information asymmetry problem because workers make decisions and share profits: worker cooperatives.
