How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

How does the Kids SIPsmartER program impact the sugar‐sweetened beverage intake of students: An investigation beyond total treatment effect in randomized controlled trial

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study develops and empirically estimates a structural framework to decompose the causal pathways of multilevel behavioral interventions targeting adolescent health behaviors. We apply this framework to the Kids SIPsmartER (KSS) program, a 6‐month, school‐based intervention evaluated through a clustered randomized controlled trial in rural

Zoophytophagous predator sex pheromone and visual cues of opposing reflectance spectra lure predator and invasive prey

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Research
In sub-Saharan Africa, the invasive South American leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta is the most damaging tomato pest. Females of the pest can reproduce both sexually and through parthenogenesis and lay their eggs on all tomato plant parts. The mirid predator Nesidiocoris tenuis, a biological control agent for the pest, is also a tomato pest when prey ...

Otherwise engaged? Learning from non‐participation in research with care‐experienced students

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores what can be learned when educational research “fails.” Drawing on a Welland Trust–funded project in the North East of England that aimed to support care‐experienced students transitioning from further to higher education, we reflect on why, despite sustained effort, there was a lack of engagement.

Testing the potential of 50 kHz rat calls as a species-specific rat attractant.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The control of mammalian pests relies heavily on the use of pesticides that are often avoided and are not species-specific. These problems are particularly acute for pesticides used to control rats (Rattus spp.).

More‐than‐gender? Moving beyond gendered expectations of divergent learners in early childhood education

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we explore how neurodivergent ways of being in early education are often gendered. The intersectionalities of gender and neurodivergence often lead to fixed expectations that perpetuate binary interpretations, pathologisations, missed diagnoses and a lack of curated support.

Tannic acid–metal biomaterials for skin repair: Principles, immune microenvironment modulation, and translational perspectives

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Tannic acid–metal materials are emerging as versatile wound biomaterials, but their value depends on more than multifunctionality. This review maps how tannic acid alone, free metal ions, and coordinated TA–metal systems differ in design logic, immune‐microenvironment effects, and translational potential, offering a practical framework for choosing ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

The Impact of Sustainability Labelling on Consumers' Evaluation and Choice of Food Products: A Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The last five years of research on sustainability labelling, reported in 175 journal articles, documents its effectiveness in increasing consumer choices of more sustainable food products. Some sustainability labels come out as stronger than others and their impact varies across products, countries, and individual consumers, depending on label
