Feeding the future in Ghana: Gender inequality, poverty, and food insecurity
World Medical &Health Policy, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 638-671, December 2023., 2023 Abstract As women's empowerment is critical for the adoption of agricultural technologies by farmers, some governments have over the last three decades adopted a gender equality approach to food security. In Ghana, women play a vital role as farmers and food processors, which means they impact household nutrition in important ways.

American Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Premise What maintains mixed mating is an evolutionary enigma. Cleistogamy—the production of both potentially outcrossing chasmogamous and obligately selfing cleistogamous flowers on the same individual plant—is an excellent system to study the costs of selfing.

Latin American Policy, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 388-407, September 2023., 2023 Abstract For years Colombia has been the world's largest coca producer. Its public management of crops for illicit use has swung between eradication, substitution, and, recently legalization. Forced eradication has been shown to be ineffective, and legalization is an incipient option, so the Peace Agreement puts forward substitution as the path to ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023 In this study, we detected patterns of ecological convergence along elevation in floral volatiles as well as cost–benefit ratio in seed versus pollinated seeds. Our results suggest that these evolutionary patterns are the result of biotic and abiotic pressures.

Global warming facilitates the nesting of the loggerhead turtle on the Mediterranean coast of Spain
Animal Conservation, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 365-380, June 2023., 2023 Average summer sand temperature (July 20th–August 10th) at 40 cm deep in Spanish Mediterranean beaches, as reconstructed from air temperature at El Prat beach, has increased from 1950 to 2019 (top figure). As a result, the duration of the viable nesting window for loggerhead turtles (bottom figure) has also increased and the thermal environment has ...

Working the Waste Commodity Frontier: Metabolic Value and Informal Waste Work
Antipode, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 458-479, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Ambitions for a European “circular economy” imply waste is becoming an important “commodity frontier”. Increased recycling in Europe has been accompanied by a proliferation of informal waste work. “Southern” geographies of informal recyclers provide resources for interpreting this phenomenon but studies of a commodity frontier in urban waste ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 596-613, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Coral reefs are the most biodiverse marine ecosystems, and host a wide range of taxonomic diversity in a complex spatial community structure. Existing coral reef survey methods struggle to accurately capture the taxonomic detail within the complex spatial structure of benthic communities.

Meta‐analysis of ecosystem services associated with oyster restoration
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Restoration of foundation species promises to reverse environmental degradation and return lost ecosystem services, but a lack of standardized evaluation across projects limits understanding of recovery, especially in marine systems. Oyster reefs are restored to reverse massive global declines and reclaim valuable ecosystem services, but the ...

Dynamic returns to scale and geography in U.S. banking
Papers in Regional Science, Volume 102, Issue 1, Page 53-85, February 2023., 2023 Abstract We observe spatial cost dependence among medium‐sized and large U.S. banks (1998Q1–2020Q4). We contribute to the literature by accounting for this using an accessible dynamic spatial econometric cost model. For a movement along a bank's output expansion path, we calculate the cost returns that spillover to/from the bank. The noticeable impacts
