Evolutionary mobility and genetic dynamics of MORFFO genes: shuttling among ancient plant lineages. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Plastid genomes (plastomes) of land plants are characterized by their architectural and genic content stability. However, fern plastomes exhibit unexpected dynamism, characterized by the presence of mobile protein‐coding genes (CDS) – Mobile Open Reading Frames in Fern Organelles (MORFFOs). We investigate the evolutionary dynamics of MORFFOs in

Latin American Policy, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 388-407, September 2023., 2023 Abstract For years Colombia has been the world's largest coca producer. Its public management of crops for illicit use has swung between eradication, substitution, and, recently legalization. Forced eradication has been shown to be ineffective, and legalization is an incipient option, so the Peace Agreement puts forward substitution as the path to ...

World City Innovation and Service Networks and Economic Growth
Papers in Regional Science, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 979-999, August 2022., 2022 Abstract In addition to their often‐cited role as global service hubs, world cities are also global innovation hubs with their connectivity in knowledge networks crucial for the innovation clusters they harbour. While both aspects of world cities' global connectivity may allow their urban economies to grow, we argue that specialization in one of these ...

Journal of Sociolinguistics, Volume 26, Issue 1, Page 45-64, February 2022., 2022 Abstract This article aims to investigate the relationship of sociolinguists with the publics in Catalonia and to disentangle the complex interrelationships among academics within the discipline. By examining material from mainstream media outlets and data from interviews with a selected number of sociolinguist scholars, we show how the public sphere ...

Assessing the palatability of different meats consumed in a biodiversity hotspot to inform alternative protein interventions. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Alternative protein interventions are common in conservation. They aim to reduce the hunting or consumption of wildlife by promoting substitutes. However, selecting suitable meat substitutes is challenging because many factors drive wild meat consumption. Palatability, one such factor, drives consumer food preference and is potentially crucial

Redistributive effects of fiscal policies in Mexico: Corrections for top income measurement problems
Latin American Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 148-180, May 2021., 2021 Abstract This article assesses the redistributive effects of fiscal instruments in Mexico in 2010–2014, correcting for top‐income measurement problems. Two correction methods are applied—survey‐sample reweighting for households' nonresponse probability and replacing of top incomes using smooth Pareto distributions—to reestimate the effects of pensions,

Study of the different evaluation areas in the pesticide risk assessment process
EFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue S1, November 2020., 2020 Abstract Approval of active substances and authorisation of plant protection products in the EU is made based on a strict risk assessment of the agronomic use of the plant protection products. Regulation 1107/2009 regulates the procedure in the EU with complex procedures involving many actors.

Use of surrogate species to cost‐effectively prioritize conservation actions
Conservation Biology, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 600-610, June 2020., 2020 Abstract Conservation efforts often focus on umbrella species whose distributions overlap with many other flora and fauna. However, because biodiversity is affected by different threats that are spatially variable, focusing only on the geographic range overlap of species may not be sufficient in allocating the necessary actions needed to efficiently ...

Upward pressure on wages and the interregional trade spillover effects under demand‐side shocks
Papers in Regional Science, Volume 99, Issue 1, Page 165-182, February 2020., 2020 Abstract The paper illustrates the effect of a permanent demand‐side shock in the perturbed regions and the associated spillover effects in the non‐perturbed regions using a spatial‐numerical general equilibrium model of the EU economy. We test to what extent gradual upward pressure on wages generated by a domestic increase in demand alters the ...
