The influence of cutting height on arthropods in farm grassland

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mowing at a cutting height of 13 cm slightly reduced the immediate negative impact of mowing compared to mowing at a height of 7 cm. Medium‐term effects overrode this benefit: the number of vegetation‐dwelling arthropods remained strongly reduced two and four weeks after mowing, regardless of the cutting height.

Seasonal effects of land cover and intensity of farming practices on α and β diversity of grassland arthropod communities

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Land cover heterogeneity drives grassland arthropod diversity in spring, while local management intensity becomes the primary driver in autumn, revealing strong seasonal shifts in environmental influences. Landscape‐scale farming intensity significantly shapes arthropod community composition through balanced variation, demonstrating its role as an ...

Flexible Contract, Flexible Morale? Microcredit Design and Repayment Discipline

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flexible repayment benefits borrowers, but practitioners fear increased moral hazard. Investigating their concerns requires disentangling repayment choices from repayment capacity, which is typically infeasible in field studies. We use a lab‐in‐the‐field experiment with 645 microcredit borrowers to cleanly identify the effect of repayment ...

The roles of multinational enterprises in governing the sustainability of global supply chains

International Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract An extensive but fragmented body of research shows that multinational enterprises (MNEs) engage with multiple sustainability rules in global supply chains (GSCs) spanning the private, social and public governance sectors. MNEs perform diverse roles by either shaping or complying with these rules.

Emerging experimental and bioinformatic approaches in RNA interference‐based pest control research

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) visualization, RNA‐induced silencing complex (RISC)‐bound sRNA‐seq and RNA degradomics allow investigating dsRNA uptake and processing, guide small interfering RNA selection and RISC‐mediated target mRNA cleavages. Transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of genome‐wide responses to dsRNA, including off‐target and compensatory ...
