Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Ecological filters shape community assemblages. When filters lead to non‐Gaussian distributions—for example, asymmetric, uneven, multimodal—the community weighted mean is insufficient to characterise the community. Urban environments exert deterministic directional and stabilising assembly filters on functional communities in butterflies, with a higher

The Dynamics of Gender Norms and Fertility Decline
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper models fertility as the outcome of gender‐biased technological progress interacting with endogenous social norms governing childcare.

Why Comply? Explaining Sectoral Patterns in GRECO'S Anti‐Corruption Recommendations
