Let the Poor Talk About “Poverty”: Revisiting Poverty Alleviation in Rural China With Machine Learning

Poverty &Public Policy, Volume 17, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT To tackle lasting rural poverty and fully eradicate absolute poverty by 2020, the Chinese government introduced the “targeted poverty alleviation” (TPA) policy in 2013. Quantitative assessments prove the policy's success; yet multidimensional aspects and subjective perceptions of rural poverty are insufficiently accounted for.

Response of Amblyseius swirskii to deltamethrin

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 6, Page 2800-2811, June 2025.
The analysis of toxicological and molecular data reveals target‐site as well as metabolic modifications associated with the resistance to deltamethrin in Amblyseius swirskii colonies. However, semi‐field assays show increased run‐off behavior after treatments with the same pesticide.

Including the urbanization gradient in people‐centered wildlife conservation in Amazonia

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract Conservation policy in the Amazon traditionally focuses on rural areas, overlooking the socioecological roles of urban populations. This oversight can hinder sustainability by neglecting rural–urban connections. We compared the prevalence and quantity of wild meat consumed, bartered, and traded commercially in rural, peri‐urban, and urban ...

Human–nature relationships through the lens of reciprocity: Insights from Indigenous and local knowledge systems

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 922-933, May 2025.
Abstract In the context of climate change, biodiversity decline and social injustice, reciprocity emerges as a way of living and being in this world that holds transformative potential. Concepts of reciprocity vary and are enacted in specific cultural practices grounded in Indigenous and local knowledge systems.

Tropical Land‐Use Change Disrupts Zeta‐Diversity Across Taxa

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 5, May 2025.
We studied birds, dung beetles, and orchids across natural and human‐transformed habitats in the Colombian Andes to understand how land‐use change affects biodiversity. We found that deforestation simplifies ecological communities and reduces both rare and widespread species, especially orchids.

Long‐term interventions by conservation and development projects support successful recovery of tropical peatlands in Amazonia

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 871-886, April 2025.
Abstract Rural communities in Amazonia rely on harvesting Mauritia flexuosa fruit, a dominant peatland palm, for their subsistence and income. However, these palms are felled to harvest the fruits, which has led to reduced resource availability due to the pressure exerted by the increasing fruit demand.
