ICT and CO2 Emissions in the G20: A Channel-Based Mediation Analysis

In this study, we examine whether digitalization, measured by internet, fixed telephone, and mobile phone usage, has helped to lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The correlation between ICT and CO2 emissions is assessed via panel data analysis using a sample of 33 years of G20...

Paying upfront: successful initial infections protect against severe future infections

Abstract Understanding the consistency with which individual hosts respond to repeated pathogen exposures is crucial for accurately modeling pathogen transmission and eco-evolutionary dynamics. When hosts face repeated pathogen exposures, immune memory is expected to reduce the p...

Reticulated adaptive radiation and phylogenomic diversity loss in the Hawaiian honeycreepers

The Hawaiian honeycreepers, one of the world’s most iconic adaptive radiations, are facing a human-mediated extinction crisis. More than 60 Hawaiian honeycreepers (Fringillidae: Carduelinae: Drepanidini) evolved from a single rosefinch-like ancestor that colonized the Hawaiian Is...
