The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

The Geography of Success: A Spatial Analysis of Export Intensity in the Italian Wine Industry
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates the paradox of how Italy's fragmented, SME‐dominated wine industry achieves global export success. Moving beyond purely firm‐centric explanations, we test whether export intensity is spatially dependent, clustering geographically in regional ecosystems.

Patterns of plant diversity and endemism in Namibia
Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2006 Species richness, endemism and areas that are rich in both species and endemic species were assessed and mapped for Namibia. High species diversity corresponds with zones where species overlap.

Current Status and Future Perspectives of Robotic Surgery for Esophagogastric Cancer in Asia
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Robotic‐assisted surgery (RAS) has moved from an experimental adjunct to an increasingly established component of gastrointestinal (GI) oncological practice in parts of Asia, a region that carries a disproportionately high burden of gastric and esophageal cancer. Asian surgeons have been among the earliest and most prolific contributors to the

Global patterns of taxonomic and phylogenetic endemism in liverwort assemblages
Plant DiversityExploring the worldwide patterns of endemism and the processes that lead to the formation of high-endemism centers is crucial in biogeography. This study examines the geographic distribution and ecological influences on the endemism of liverworts across ...

Dimensions of the AI Divide: Digital Inequality and Psychological Consequences
AI &Innovation, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a foundational component of contemporary social, economic, and political life. Yet, the ways in which AI reshapes patterns of exclusion beyond questions of access and technical capability remain insufficiently theorized.

Aligning conservation goals: are patterns of species richness and endemism concordant at regional scales? [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2001 Biodiversity conservation strategies commonly target areas of high species richness and/or high endemism. However, the correlation between richness and endemism at scales relevant to conservation is unclear; these two common goals of conservation plans ...

Centres of species richness, neoendemism, and paleoendemism for marine fishes occur in different regions of Aotearoa New Zealand [PDF]
Frontiers of BiogeographyBiogeography has traditionally relied on species-based measures of biodiversity, partially reflecting the processes shaping spatial patterns. Incorporating the evolutionary relationships among taxa can provide a greater understanding of how distinct ...
