Consistent Choice of Prey Source Habitat Across Diverse Landscapes by a Selective Insectivorous Bat

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
After analyzing the diet of the greater horseshoe bats in three distinct colonies, we identified significant spatial and temporal differences, particularly noting a stronger reliance on riparian habitats in Mediterranean areas. The species exhibits great ecological adaptability with strong plasticity in prey source habitats, shifting preferences among ...

Availability of a Keystone Plant Resource Reduces Niche Overlap and Drives Distinct Species‐Specific Changes in Niche Breadth Among Small Rodents

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated how three rodent species respond to the seasonal availability of Araucaria angustifolia seeds. While Oligoryzomys spp. increased seed consumption and abundance during seed production, the more insectivorous Akodon paranaensis maintained a broader diet.

Information flow and the adoption of soil‐improving and water conservation measures, and household welfare: Insights from a randomized controlled trial in Uganda

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Extension services are designed to facilitate the flow of information from researchers to farmers. However, information failures continue to impede the diffusion of soil‐improving and water conservation technologies in Sub‐Saharan African countries. We use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the impact of an extension‐based campaign
