Underground Freight Transportation for Package Delivery in Urban Environments

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of underground freight transportation (UFT) is gaining attention because of its ability to quickly move freight to locations in urban areas while reducing road traffic and the need for delivery drivers. Since packages are transported through the tunnels by electric motors, the use of tunnels is also environmentally friendly. We examine

Antiobesity Medications for Older Adults—the New, the Good, the Bad, and the Unknown

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Obesity affects 42% of older adults, with rates continuing to rise. This a complex condition influenced by non‐modifiable as well as modifiable risk factors. The disease can be treated through modifications to diet, physical activity, and behavior and more recently through antiobesity medications (AOMs) and surgery. Treatment must be

Quantifying the contribution of community trait mean and diversity to ecosystem functioning

Oikos, EarlyView.
Hundreds of experiments conducted over the last decades demonstrate a positive relationship between species diversity and ecosystem functions. Following good experimental practice, most of these studies have manipulated species richness artificially by assembling communities randomly. Yet, natural communities along ecological gradients often show niche‐

Metacommunity connectance and emergent patterns drive diversity via spatial eco‐evolutionary feedback

Oikos, EarlyView.
Self‐organised pattern formation creates heterogeneous growth conditions in spatially extended ecosystems and can support local functional diversity in metacommunities – sets of communities linked by dispersal. However, the mechanisms connecting emergent heterogeneity on the metacommunity scale and diversity on the local scale, and how they depend on ...

Do Policy Capacities Matter for Federal Policy Design? Evidence From the Implementation of Three Social Policies in Brazil

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bringing together the literature on policy design, policy capacity and policy making in multilevel systems, this paper argues that the effectiveness of policy design in federal countries depends, ceteris paribus, on the adequacy of federal and local policy capacities.

Carbon and corms: Introduced ungulates and saltwater intrusion variably impact coastal floodplain ecosystem services in the Laynhapuy Indigenous Protected Area, northern Australia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Carbon and biodiversity offset markets have been proposed to finance management solutions for introduced ungulates across northern Australian coastal wetlands. However, few studies have quantified how ungulate removal may affect ecosystem services important to local Indigenous communities, especially considering coincident saltwater intrusion.
