The Productivity Effect of Public–Private Partnership
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Public–Private partnerships (PPPs) are often employed by public authorities to deliver infrastructure and public services through contracts bundling construction, operation, and maintenance over extended periods. Using a novel dataset covering the universe of Italian district heating plants (DHs) from 2007 to 2014, I show that PPP improves ...

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract As climate change is having increasingly visible impacts on coastal regions, it is urgent to better understand its effects on the state of ecosystems and the services they provide. To assess the direction and magnitude of change in the high‐use waters of the Sept‐Îles region in the Gulf of St‐Lawrence, we sampled 35 sites along the coast and ...

Divergent defense strategies and niche partitioning in Cretaceous micro‐beetles
Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.We report a new clambid beetle from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, Scutacalyptus kolibaci gen. et sp. nov., characterized by a flattened body and explanate margins. Alongside spiny and conglobating clambid forms, this diversity reflects niche partitioning and varied antipredator strategies in the Cretaceous forest floor.

Seismic reflection and topography insights into Ries crater diameter and megablock zone
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Most of the extensive crater‐wide geophysical studies at the Ries impact structure were made decades ago when the origin of the structure was still being debated. Although it is one of the most studied impact structures, its internal structure was not imaged in high resolution until recently.

Bio‐mediated cementation of supratidal beach sediments associated with groundwater springs
Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The formation of beachrock, sensu stricto, via carbonate precipitation in the intertidal zone is widespread throughout the tropics and subtropics. While cementation of supratidal beach sediments has also been noted in several locations, it has received much less attention.

Microbial mats in dinosaur ichnocoenoses
Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Until now, the significance of microbial mats in preservation of dinosaur tracks and in reconstructing the palaeoenvironment in which dinosaurs roamed was rarely studied. Dinosaur tracks are commonly found close to ancient aquatic bodies where moist sediment had once allowed footstep registration.
