Reversing the road to super farms [PDF]
The organization of primary agriculture is dependent upon whether the institutions of a country allow for reverse franchising by farmers. If the transaction costs of managing a farm can be minimized by farmers conducting a form of collective action, such

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A targeted in situ methylation strategy is developed to engineer cationic centers in a quinoline‐linked COF (NQ‐COFS1‐Me), creating a strong built‐in electric field, which effectively suppresses excitonic effects and promotes charge separation. The optimized material demonstrates powerful photocatalytic ROS generation for rapid bacterial inactivation ...

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...
