The impact on productivity of a hypothetical tax on sugar-sweetened beverages
(Health Policy, 2017)Objectives: To quantify the potential impact of an additional 20% tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) on productivity in Australia. Methods: We used a multi-state lifetable Markov model to examine the potential impact ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Subsistence harvesting by a small community does not substantially compromise coral reef fish assemblages
(ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2017)Fisheries usually first remove large predators before switching to smaller species, causing lasting changes to fish community structure. Reef fish provide essential protein and income for many people, and the impacts of ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Vegetated fauna overpass disguises road presence and facilitates permeability for forest microbats in Brisbane, Australia
(Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017)The effects of urbanization on flying vertebrates historically have been underestimated, with roads in particular impacting bat populations through vehicle collisions, habitat fragmentation and unwillingness to disperse ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
The power of the vegetable patch: How home-grown food helps large rural households achieve economies of scale & escape poverty
(Food Policy, 2017)This paper explores how the household’s capacity to grow food impacts their ability to achieve economies of scale in food consumption and how this impacts the geographic distribution of poverty across rural and urban areas. ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
