Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Mapping bee diversity with landscape‐level models to inform conservation
Native bee conservation is complicated by limited distribution data and life history knowledge. However, recent state‐wide pollinator surveys, combined with species distribution models that account for biased datasets and capture regional habitat associations, present a strong foundation for informing essential conservation action.

Abstract We reconsider one of the most widely studied behavioral biases: anchoring effects. We estimate that study designs in this literature, including replication studies, routinely fail to achieve statistical power of more than 30%. This study replicates an anchoring study that reported an effect size of a 31% increase in participants' bids.

Social distance and delegation: Does anonymity matter?
Abstract In this paper, we report on two experimental studies that examine the impact of social distance on delegation and uncover the role of anonymity driving delegation in a principal‐agent setting. Study 1 shows that reducing the social distance makes principals less likely to delegate.

A finite-strain hyperviscoplastic model and undrained triaxial tests of peat
This paper presents a finite-strain hyperviscoplastic constitutive model within a thermodynamically consistent framework for peat which was categorised as a material with both rate-dependent and thermodynamic equilibrium hysteresis based on the data ...
