Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

A Global Methane Observation System to Reduce Uncertainty for Anthropogenic and Natural Sources and Sinks for Detecting and Attributing Climate Feedbacks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conceptual illustration of a Global Ecosystem Methane Observing System (GEM‐OS) integrating satellites, aircraft, atmospheric networks, and ecosystem measurements to quantify methane emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources. The multi‐scale observing framework improves source attribution, reduces uncertainty in regional methane budgets, and ...

A Robust Bio‐Supportive Hydrogel Patch for Full‐Thickness Repair of Gastroesophageal Defects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gastroesophageal defect repair remains a formidable clinical challenge plagued by high leakage and life‐threatening complications. We develop a double‐disc, highly crystalline PVA‐based RBS hydrogel patch featuring suture‐free sealing, robust acid/enzyme resistance and mechanical durability.

Flooding‐Driven Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Global Upland Croplands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Temporary flooding of upland croplands releases nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane. Field measurements combined with a global literature synthesis yield a global estimate of 63.3 teragrams of carbon dioxide equivalent per year for diffusive emissions from flooded upland croplands.

Integrating Agricultural Insurance with Human Resource Management in Polish Farms

Zeszyty Naukowe Wyższej Szkoły Finansów i Prawa w Bielsku-Białej
Farm insurance is usually assessed through premiums, indemnities and the stability of agricultural income, whereas human resource management is discussed as a separate field. In a farm, this separation is artificial: a weather loss, machinery failure or

Dramatic Enhancement and Integration of Properties in Pork Belly‐Inspired All‐Biomass Composite Films via Facile, Sustainable, and Controllable Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A pork belly‐inspired all‐biomass composite film was constructed through layer‐by‐layer assembly of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), gelatin, and graphitized carbon nanosheets (GCNs) via hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions. The excellent mechanical properties, effective thermal management, and outstanding EMI shielding performance of the ...

Farmers' Preferences for Fossil‐Free Mineral Nitrogen Fertilizers: Role of Prices, Climate, Production Origin, and Identity

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disruptions in global fertilizer markets and climate targets have increased interest in fossil‐free mineral nitrogen fertilizers. This study examines farmers' preferences for conventional (fossil‐based) and fossil‐free fertilizers using a labeled discrete choice experiment with 211 Swedish farmers.

Heterogeneity of Farmer Preferences Towards Collective Agri‐Environmental Schemes: A Latent Class Analysis for Biodiversity Conservation in Switzerland

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collective agri‐environmental schemes offer a promising approach to improve biodiversity promotion in agriculture by providing landscape connectivity. However, how to design these schemes to foster participation in the presence of farmers' heterogeneous preferences and perceived transaction costs remains an open question.

Animal‐Based Brands Taking the Plant‐Based Opportunity: A Tasting Experiment Exploring Consumer Acceptance of Plant‐Based Brand Extensions

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how consumer taste and brand equity perceptions shape the acceptance of plant‐based milk products. Using a blind/informed tasting experiment, we evaluated consumers' willingness to buy (WTB) and taste perception of a plant‐based milk alternative produced by a traditional dairy brand, compared with competing plant‐based ...

Intergenerational Succession on Family Farms: Evidence from Survey Data [PDF]

This study examines family farms and characteristics affecting farm succession. Based on a farm survey, three aspects of succession are analysed in the paper: the probability of family succession; the likelihood of having a successor designated; and the ...
