From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees.

A multi‐scale assessment of interior Douglas‐fir tree mortality for hazard and risk assessments

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Land managers use hazard (susceptibility) and risk rating systems to guide the application of forest management treatments that aim to reduce future damages to forests. Rating systems are typically designed for individual damage agents, but tree mortality often results from multiple agents without a clear proximate cause.

Beyond borders: Does firm‐level exposure to state and local paid sick leave mandates lead to intra‐firm spillovers?

open access: yesJournal of Policy Analysis and Management, Volume 45, Issue 1, Winter 2026.
Abstract States and localities have passed labor standards to raise the floor on job quality, including mandating employer provision of paid sick leave (PSL). However, contemporary political polarization makes the enactment of national labor standards and of state standards in many states unlikely. Prior literature has examined how labor standards may “

Grow With the Flow? Impact of Experimental Floods on Riparian Vegetation in an Alpine River

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 162-175, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Experimental floods have been proposed as a measure to mitigate effects of river flow regulation, primarily vegetation encroachment, streambed colmation, and loss of bed and channel mobility. In this study, we investigated the short‐ and long‐term biogeomorphic effects of an experimental flood programme conducted in the Spöl River (Swiss Alps)
