Structural lobbying power? An exploration of patterns in preference attainment at varying levels of lobbying activity

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies of lobbying typically look at the extent to which interest groups realize political goals on issues they actively lobby for. Little is known, however, about the extent to which interest groups attain their political goals without making an active lobbying effort.

Using Cultural Theory to Specify the Policy Actors, Belief Systems, and Sources of Coalition, Conflict, Stability, and Change in Policy Advocacy Coalitions and Environmental Resource Policies

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We use grid‐group cultural theory (CT) to specify underspecified aspects of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF). Our theoretical synthesis of CT and the ACF provides, first, an exhaustive typology of policy actors and their cultural cognitive biases that entail, guide, and constrain policy core beliefs about problem definitions and ...

Blocking the Poor: Status Quo Bias in Policy Congruence

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on unequal responsiveness has shown that policies tend to align more closely with the preferences of high‐income citizens than low‐income citizens. Using comparative data on opinions and policies, we suggest that this inequality primarily results from status quo bias; asymmetric blocking power drives unequal congruence rather than ...

Enabling conditions for conservation on Indigenous and community lands

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Despite increasing evidence and general acceptance in global environmental policy of the significant role of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IP&LC) in biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation, an implementation gap remains between global policy and how conservation plays out on the ground.

Detecting mass mortality events in wildlife populations

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Reports in the literature of mass mortality events (MMEs) involving diverse animal taxa are increasing. Yet, many likely go unobserved due to imperfect detection and infrequent sampling. MMEs involving small, cryptic species, for instance, can be difficult to detect even during the event, and degradation and scavenging of carcasses can make ...

Evolution of research on global amphibian declines

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In the late 1980s, the scientific community became aware of severe, enigmatic amphibian population declines. These declines triggered a wave of research focused on quantifying their extent and identifying key drivers. We used text‐analysis techniques, including topic modeling and geoparsing, to examine the evolution of research focused on ...

Contrasting effects of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores on leaf litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3372-3384, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivores influence litter quality, soil properties and decomposer communities, with cascading effects on litter decomposition. Vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores can affect decomposition through the same two pathways (litter quality‐ and soil‐mediated) but are ...

Effects of nitrogen deposition on territory numbers of breeding birds

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Deposition of atmospheric N (nitrogen) is assumed to be a major cause of biodiversity decline in Europe. To date, few studies on the direct or indirect effects of N on bird species have been conducted. Using Swiss bird count data and habitat data, we analyzed the correlation of N deposition with numbers of territories of 112 breeding bird ...

Three Challenges in Political Regime Classification: The Regime Configuration Framework

open access: yesPolitics &Policy, Volume 53, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This article reviews political regime classification in the context of contemporary debates. We problematize the classical division between categorical and continuous approaches and recent responses to their limitations. We use hybrid regimes to question the conventional framing of political regime classification.
