Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...

Revising income eligibility for the national school lunch program: Evidence from indifference scales for households with children

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.

Argumentation strategies in party competition

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Political parties' rhetorical strategies play a crucial role in shaping public opinion and electoral outcomes.

Competitive diplomacy in bargaining and war

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract War is often viewed as a bargaining problem. However, prior to bargaining, countries can vie for leverage by expending effort on diplomacy. This article presents a dynamic model of conflict where agenda‐setting power is endogenous to pre‐bargaining diplomatic competition.
