From rhetoric to measurement: The economics of wetland conservation

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, EarlyView.
Abstract Wetland conservation continues to be a pressing issue as wetlands continue to be lost due to urban, industrial, and agricultural expansion. This paper synthesizes the current knowledge about wetland conservation economics in Canada, with a focus on prairie landscapes. We review the methods economists use to empirically measure the costs (i.e.,

Does nature shape risk preferences? Evidence from Chile, Norway, and Tanzania

Economic Inquiry, Volume 63, Issue 2, Page 568-590, April 2025.
Abstract Does exposure to a more risky environment affect risk preferences? Going beyond single‐case study evidence, we report results from five surveys conducted in three countries and link this with administrative data to study whether a link between exposure and preferences is detectable and widespread. We find no evidence for endogenous preferences

Competitive Interactions Between Generalist Predators and Their Effects on Shared and Non‐Shared Pests in a Greenhouse Crop

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Orius laevigatus engages in unidirectional intraguild predation on Transeius montdorensis. Despite this, both predators coexisted and suppressed the shared thrips prey. Aphids, a non‐shared prey, were effectively controlled by O. laevigatus even when its population was limited due to intraguild predation. T.

Migration, circular mobility and food security in Nicaragua: An analytical framework based on food sourcing and farm household multi‐localisation

The Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
Short Abstract The article proposes a methodological approach to analyse the links between mobility, migration, immobility and food security, and its application to a case study in Nicaragua. Abstract This article explores the links between agriculture, circular mobility, migration and food security in the Global South. It focuses on farm households in

Water availability and land‐use shape the diversity of Odonata in the Middle East

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Odonata diversity in the Middle East depends on the availability of long‐lasting waters, emphasizing the importance of preserving stable aquatic habitats for biodiversity conservation under climate change‐driven droughts. Agricultural expansion is associated with increased Odonata species richness, but overall trait diversity remains limited ...

A re‐usable 3D‐printed training model for the endodontic management of dental trauma in immature teeth

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim To develop a 3D‐printed model enabling treatment simulation of trauma‐related endodontic and restorative procedures like revitalization or placement of an apical plug on teeth with incomplete root formation. Methodology To generate a realistic training model suitable for trauma‐related simulations, CT‐Data sets were segmented, combined ...

Intentional Negotiation and Filling of Accessory Canals: A Case Series With Three‐Dimensional Segmentation and Volumetric Healing Assessment

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Accessory canals (ACs) are anatomical features that may harbour residual infected tissue and contribute to persistent periradicular inflammation. Although filling of these structures is occasionally achieved passively, their intentional mechanical negotiation remains rarely documented in clinical practice. This case series aims to

Influence of Dual Heat Treatment on the Metallurgy and Mechanical Behaviour of Diamond‐Like Carbon–Coated NiTi Rotary Systems: A Multimethod Investigation

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate how the application of dual heat treatment during the manufacturing process influences the mechanical performance (flexibility, cyclic fatigue resistance, torsional strength, bending, buckling and cutting efficiency) of rotary nickel‐titanium endodontic instruments. Methodology Rainbow One (n = 58) and Rainbow Ultra (n = 58)
