Incentives for Ridesharing: A Case Study of Welfare and Traffic Congestion by Changle Song, Julien Monteil, Jean-Luc Ygnace, David Rey

“…We focus our attention on a realistic case study representative of the morning commute on Sydney’s M4 Motorway in Australia. We synthesize a network model and travel demand data from open data sources and use a multinomial logistic model to capture users’ preferences across different travel roles, including solo drivers, ridesharing drivers, ridesharing passengers, and a reserve option that does not contribute to congestion on the freeway network. …”

Geographic patterns and ecological causes of phylogenetic structure in mosses along an elevational gradient in the central Himalaya by Hong Qian, Oriol Grau

“…Here, we investigate the relationships of phylogenetic structure metrics reflecting different evolutionary depths with elevation and climatic variables representing mean temperature and precipitation conditions, climate extremes, and climate seasonality for mosses distributed along an elevational gradient spanning about 5000 m in the central Himalaya, Nepal. For a given climatic variable, different metrics of phylogenetic structure show different spatial and climatic patterns, but all phylogenetic metrics standardized for species richness show that phylogenetic dispersion in moss assemblages tend to increase with increasing elevation and decreasing temperature. …”
