Pollinator diversity and host specificity in threatened Encephalartos cycads and their implications for co‐extinction and species recovery

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The highly threatened African cycad genus Encephalartos faces severe threats such as habitat loss and poaching. In addition, the lack of sexual recruitment due to the absence of pollinators (pollinator collapse) has emerged as another major threat.

Population trends and variability within bird communities are amplified by intense land use

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that bird populations in farmland have stronger long‐term changes and are more variable around these changes than in woodland. Disentangling these two components of population stability helps understand the effects of anthropogenic pressures on wild communities.

Clearing the Air: How Fine Particulate Matter Regulations Reshape Farmland Values in U.S. Corn and Soybean Regions

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the impact of air quality regulations targeting fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on farmland values in corn and soybean producing counties in the United States over the period 1997–2022. Using self‐reported farmland value data from the Agricultural Census and county‐level pollution classifications provided by the Environmental ...

Climatic–Anthropogenic Synergy Drives Escalating Minimum Area Requirements and Connectivity‐Protection Mismatch in a Karst‐Endemic Primate

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Climate change and anthropogenic activities drive antagonistic degradation of landscape connectivity for endangered François’ langur (1987–2024), causing 48.8% habitat loss, north‐south fragmentation, and centroid migration (1.2 km/yr). Despite protected areas buffering connectivity, static management fails dynamic priority habitats; we propose ...

Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...
