Choice experiments on land managers' participation in environmental programs: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of estimate validity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Discrete choice experiments are increasingly being used to estimate land managers' willingness to accept participation in incentive‐based environmental programs. This is a specific application of discrete choice experiments: the estimation of willingness to accept for a private good (program participation) where respondents have to make trade ...

Heterosis in crosses between remnant populations of the rare prairie forb Silene regia: Implications for restoration genetics

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Calls to adopt seed‐sourcing strategies in biological restoration that preserve local adaptation while maximizing genetic variation (e.g., regional admixture provenancing) are increasingly common. Heterosis, the increased fitness of progeny from crosses between populations relative to progeny from crosses within populations, could ...

Variable grouping patterns in primates: A test of the better competitor hypothesis in male Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intraspecific variation in social organization (IVSO) within primate populations can arise due to male mating competition. Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) populations exhibit both single‐male and multi‐male groups, providing an opportunity to examine the relationship between male competitive ability and social organization.
