Genomic Investigations Unveil the Genetic Underpinnings of Environmental Adaptation in African Goat Populations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study integrates genomics and landscape genetics to analyze African goat environmental adaptation. Analyzing 1591 samples, it finds population structure differentiates geographically into four groups, with gene flow between wild Yura goats and North Africans.

South Africa: The Ambiguities of a Middle Power

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT South Africa represents an interesting species of a middle power.

The traditions of liberation and democracy, in turn, have profoundly influenced how South Africa has ...

Relationships Between European Wildcats and Domestic Cats in an Area of Sympatry: Exploring Key Conservation Questions on Hybridization and Disease Transmission

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We have found evidence of behavioural barriers for both hybridization and disease transmission between European wildcats and domestic cats. This includes hierarchical interspecies exclusion enforced by wildcats, as well as sexual selection exerted by wildcat females.

Farmers' pro‐social motivations and willingness‐to‐accept in markets with public goods

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract To explain how some farmers' decisions may diverge from profit‐maximization, we incorporate proactive social preferences for public goods in an expected utility framework, in addition to reactive risk preferences to uncertainty. We offer empirical evidence that proactive preferences influence farmers' decisions alongside reactive preferences ...

Beyond health protection: Estimating the impact of public health insurance on home‐based livestock raising in rural China

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Livestock often serves as self‐insurance against health shocks for rural households in developing countries. However, little is known about how public health insurance affects livestock production decisions. This paper fills the gap by examining the impact of China's New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS) on household‐level livestock ...

Rural land rental markets in developing countries: Can survey design innovations improve land market participation statistics?

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract A longstanding puzzle in the African land rental market literature is the often‐observed discrepancy between the number of tenants (renters‐in) and the much smaller number of landlords (renters‐out) in survey data. If this discrepancy derives from systematic biases in survey data responses on rental market participation, then the existing body
