The social cost of carbon dioxide under climate-economy feedbacks and temperature variability

September 2021
Jarmo S Kikstra, Paul Waidelich, James Rising, Dmitry Yumashev, Chris Hope, and Chris M Brierley
IOP Science
This study demonstrates that determining the level of persistence of economic damages is one of the most important factors in calculating the SCCO2 and indicates that the mean estimate for the SCCO2 may have been strongly underestimated.Read More →

Sex-specific ornament evolution is a consistent feature of climatic adaptation across space and time in dragonflies

July 2021
Michael P. Moore, Kaitlyn Hersch, Chanont Sricharoen, Sarah Lee, Caitlin Reice, Paul Rice, Sophie Kronick, Kim A. Medley, and Kasey D. Fowler-Finn.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Dragonflies consistently adapt to warmer climates across space and time by evolving less male melanin ornamentation—a mating-related trait that also absorbs solar radiation and heats individuals above ambient temperatures.Read More →
