Coastal Staphylinidae (Coleoptera): A worldwide checklist, biogeography and natural history
We provide a list of the 392 described species of Staphylinidae confined to coastal habitats worldwide. The list is in taxonomic sequence by subfamily, tribe, and genus and includes 91 genera. We provide the page reference of the original description of every species and genus listed and of many synonyms. We note the existence of recent reviews, phylogenies and keys of each of the tribes and ge...
متن کاملNatural Experiments in Macroeconomics
A growing literature relies on natural experiments to establish causal effects in macroeconomics. In diverse applications, natural experiments have been used to verify underlying assumptions of conventional models, quantify specific model parameters, and identify mechanisms that have major effects on macroeconomic quantities but are absent from conventional models. We discuss and compare the us...
متن کاملRedistricting and the Personal Vote: When Natural Experiments Are Neither Natural Nor Experiments
Although natural experiments are increasingly prominent in the social sciences, they often have more in common with traditional observational studies than with randomized experiments. We illustrate our argument by examining the use of redistricting to estimate the personal vote. Strikingly, even if voters were redistricted randomly, previous uses of redistricting would not identify the causal e...
متن کاملExperiments in Linear Natural Deduction
We investigate several fragments of multiplicative linear logic, in a natural deduction setting and with the aim of a better understanding of the par connective. We study, first, a pre-tensorial calculus, which is strengthened then in the standard tensorial fragment. The addition of a further pre-tensorial connective yields (a natural deduction version of) Full Intuitionistic Linear Logic. A fu...
متن کاملThe Arabian Sea: A Natural Experiment in Phytoplankton Biogeography
My long-term goal is to contribute to our understanding of the way different marine ecosystems function, and to the role of natural selection and micro-evolutionary processes in ecosystem resistance and resilience. In particular, I am interested in the interaction between physical, chemical, and bio-optical properties of the water column and the distribution, productivity, and genetic diversity...
