Dutch dilemma: Housing prices and flood risk exposure

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article studies the impact of flood risk exposure on housing prices in a major river delta. Analyzing 1.8 million property transactions from 1998 to 2023 in the Netherlands, we find an average price discount of 1.1%. We observe considerable heterogeneity in price effects driven by exposure intensity, institutional settings that vary ...

Divergence Linked to Possible Ecological Speciation in Blind Mole Rats: Integration of Thermal Biology and Bite Force in the Upper Galilee Blind Mole Rat (Nannospalax galili)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Basalt‐dwelling blind mole rats maintain lower body temperatures, show greater post‐digging thermal increases, and dig more efficiently than those from rendzina soils. Although metabolic rates and bite force did not differ between populations, these thermal and physiological shifts align with the greater mechanical resistance and seasonal hypoxia of ...
