At your service! The role of tax havens in international trade with services by Hebous, S, Johannesen, N

“…While total service imports from&nbsp;tax havens&nbsp;are very large, our estimates suggest that Germany&rsquo;s loss of government revenue from mispriced service imports from&nbsp;tax&nbsp;havens is relatively modest, less than &euro; 1 billion per year.</p>…”

Bacterial phylogenetic reconstruction from whole genomes is robust to recombination but demographic inference is not by Hedge, J, Wilson, DJ

“…The field has been plagued by an apparent state of contradiction since the distorting effects of recombination on phylogeny were discovered more than a decade ago. Researchers persist with detailed phylogenetic analyses while simultaneously acknowledging that recombination seriously misleads inference of population dynamics and selection. …”

Quantifying the Evolutionary Dynamics of Structure and Content in Closely Related E. coli Genomes by Molari, M, Shaw, LP, Neher, RA

Elongated magma plumbing system beneath the Coso volcanic field, California, constrained by seismic reflection tomography by Wang, Dongdong, Wu, Shucheng, Li, Tianjue, Tong, Ping, Gao, Yongxin

“…Our final velocity model reveals a prominent low-velocity body sitting right beneath the CVF at 5–20 km depths, which we interpret as a rhyolite magma reservoir that supplies heat flux to the hot springs and also feeds the volcanic activities at Coso. We find that the upper-middle crustal low-velocity body dips southwards into the lower crust, extending to regions beneath the Indian Wells Valley and the Garlock Fault at depth greater than 20 km. …”
