Reevaluating the suitability of amphibians and reptiles for translocation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The scale of amphibian and reptile translocations over the past 16 years necessitates a reassessment of current practices since the last major review in 2009. We conducted a literature review of translocations from 2007 to 2023 and identified 313 case studies encompassing conservation‐, mitigation‐, and research‐related translocations.

A framework to assess trajectories of societal and biological extinction

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Threatened species that are societally extinct, which refers to the loss of a species’ presence in human societies, are less likely to receive conservation attention, potentially resulting in their biological extinction going unnoticed. However, little is known about the process and forms of such extinction.

The effects of minimum wage regulation in inter‐regional oligopoly competition

Contemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract We examine how minimum wage regulation affects firm profit when labor‐market power interacts with product‐market competition. A binding wage floor reduces the regulated firm's marginal labor cost, inducing it to expand production. This expansion can induce rivals to contract production when relevant strategic variables are strategic ...
