Nocturnal neighbors: exploring residents' perceptions of urban wildlife related to animal traits identified by camera traps and literature

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.

Assessing the homogenization of urban land management with an application to US residential lawn care [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance This paper offers conceptual and empirical contributions to sustainability science in general and urban-ecological studies in particular. We present a new analytical framework for classifying socioecological measures along a homogenization–differentiation spectrum.

Urban Water Demand: Income and Price Elasticities

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We use bimonthly water consumption data from 580,000 households in the metropolitan region of Western Australia over the period 2015–2020 to analyse urban residential water demand. A generalised two‐stage least squares (G2SLS) approach is used to estimate water consumption as a function of price, household income, weather variables, property ...

Time Is Not Money: Income Is More Important Than Lifestage for Explaining Patterns of Residential Yard Plant Community Structure and Diversity in Baltimore

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Plant biodiversity is affected by limiting resources such as water, nutrients, and sunlight. In urban settings, such as residential yards, however, limiting resources may also include the social factors of time and money spent on yard care.

Nitrogen input from residential lawn care practices in suburban watersheds in Baltimore county, MD [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 2004
A residential lawn care survey was conducted as part of the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, a Long-term Ecological Research project funded by the National Science Foundation and collaborating agencies, to estimate the nitrogen input to urban watersheds from lawn care practices.

Queen Anne's Wardrobe: Fashion, Sartorial Politics, and the Representational Strategies of the Last Stuart Queen

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The final Stuart monarch, Queen Anne, has often been overlooked in studies of visual and material culture, particularly of fashion and dress. This article is the first to undertake a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the wardrobe accounts of Queen Anne, situating her consumption within the context of the eighteenth‐century fashion ...

Integrated Species Distribution Model Using Historical Data Shows Decline in a Common Semi‐Aquatic Mammal

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
A diagram of the integrated species distribution model of river otter intensity of use. Three types of data (latrine detections, roadkill detections, and detection/nondetection surveys) are linked by different observation processes to the same underlying intensity of use.

Exposure and Emotional Reactivity to Daily Stressors in Same‐Sex and Different‐Sex Marriages

Journal of Marriage and Family, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examines differences in exposure and emotional reactivity to daily stressors for women and men in same‐sex and different‐sex marriages. Background Prior research on daily stress processes in marriage suggests that women may face heightened exposure and emotional reactivity to daily stressors compared to men. However, prior

Historic disturbance events overruled climatic factors as drivers of ruderal species distributions in the Scandinavian mountains

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The contemporary interaction of climate and disturbance drives vegetation composition and species distribution shifts, making their respective roles difficult to disentangle. This study describes the long‐term ruderal plant species distributions along the ‘Rallarvägen' in Abisko, subarctic Sweden.

Are Consumers Willing to Pay More for Low-Input Turfgrasses on Residential Lawns? Evidence from Choice Experiments [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 2012
A choice experiment with real products was used to investigate consumer willingness to pay (WTP) for several low-input attributes of turfgrasses. The choice scenarios consisted of turfgrass plots, which varied in aesthetic quality characteristics and were labeled with differing levels of maintenance requirements (irrigation, fertilizer, etc.), shade ...
