An agent‐based approach for designing effective protection for endangered species
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.The main threat to New Zealand dolphins is entanglement in fishing nets. This agent‐based model shows that current protection is not achieving national or international goals for reducing bycatch. Abstract The main threat to New Zealand dolphins is entanglement in fishing nets.

Influence of Temperature Dependent Properties on Tunneling Cracks in Multi‐Layer Polymer Thin Films
Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tunneling cracks severely compromise the mechanical integrity of multi‐layer polymer thin films on stiff substrates. Although previous models assume a constant elastic modulus, this study characterizes four candidate thermoset polymers. Their elastic modulus (E$$ E $$), coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and glass transition temperature ...

Trade Exposure and the Decline in Collective Bargaining: Evidence From Germany
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze how rising trade exposure from China and Eastern Europe affected collective bargaining coverage in German plants from 1996 to 2008. Using cross‐industry variation in trade exposure and instrumenting with trade flows from other high‐income countries, we find that higher import exposure increased the likelihood that plants exited ...
