Sampling bias in climate–conflict research
TL;DR: The authors showed that research on climate change and violent conflict suffers from a streetlight effect, where studies which focus on a small number of cases in particular are strongly informed by cases where there has been conflict, do not sample on the independent variables (climate impact or risk), and hence tend to find some association between these two variables.

Explaining the Severity of Civil Wars
TL;DR: The authors used a new data set of the number of combat deaths in internal conflicts from 1946 to 2002 to investigate why some civil wars are so much deadlier than others, and they found that the determinants of conflict severity were quite different from those for conflict onset.
