Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Legal Professionals Use an Implicit Checklist to Assess Expert Witness Credibility

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In a court of law, some forms of evidence are too technical to interpret without the help of an expert witness. However, expert testimony sometimes leads to wrongful conviction. We used an online survey to quantitatively compare how legal professionals (n = 122) and lay people (n = 109) understood what makes an expert witness credible.
