Environmental DNA for invasive rat surveillance and biosecurity on islands
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We collected aquatic eDNA samples from beach and lake sites on three atoll islands with different invasion statuses before and after a rat eradication operation. Two dozen eDNA samples can confirm with ≥95% probability the presence of invasive rats prior to any management intervention. However, following the eradication operation, neither targeted eDNA

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

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Predation pressure varies vertically, with highest arthropod predation in the understory and highest bird predation in the canopy. Light availability differs across vertical strata, but predation patterns are more strongly influenced by height and forest structure than by light gradients.

The disappearance of malaria from Denmark, 1862–1900
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract The reason for malaria's disappearance from northwestern Europe in the early twentieth century has long been discussed but remains an unresolved conundrum. This is partially due to a previous focus on the early modern era, and partially because various theories have never been tested against each other.
