The goal of this study is to investigate the wage differential between groups of workers who are exposed to heat and those who are not. Workers in the heat-exposure risk group are defined as workers who work in conditions that cause them to spend more than 25% of their work hours at high temperatures. To analyze the wage differential, the Blinder-Oaxaca and Juhn-Murphy-Pierce methods were appli...

There is growing scientific evidence of climate change at the Earth’s poles but also increasing worries that most people, living in more temperate latitudes, are failing to grasp the significance of these events. And it is not just scientists that are worried by this perception gap: many artists are also concerned about the apparent failure to grab public attention over these issues. A new exhi...

Plant invasions are an increasingly serious global concern, especially as the climate changes. Here, we explored how plant invasions differed between native- and novel exotic-dominated grasslands with experimental addition of summer precipitation in Texas in 2009. Exotic species greened up earlier than natives by an average of 18 days. This was associated with a lower invasion rate early in the...
