Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Multispecies occupancy models indicated that the occurrence of bumble bees was associated with local floral resources as well as the landscape surrounding a site within 1.6 km. Estimated species richness was greater at sites with more forest cover and lower at sites with more corn and soybean agriculture in the surrounding landscape.

The Capital–Labour–State Dynamics of Herbicide Adoption in Rainfed India
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper engages debates around the capital–labour–state dynamics of agrarian transitions to address the oft‐studied but still little‐understood question of why farmers adopt herbicides when they do. Over the last several years, smallholder farmers in India have begun using the herbicide bispyribac sodium at breakneck speeds, particularly in

Perceiving Vegetation From Social Positions: Discourses on Plants in a Mediterranean Landscape
Sociology Lens, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding how vegetation is perceived, named and valued requires attention to the social positions from which these perceptions are produced. This article analyses vegetation perception from different social positions based on qualitative research conducted in the province of Jaén (Andalusia, Spain), a Mediterranean landscape characterized

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

No Cost of Resistance in Wheat Gene Stack Lines Containing 10 Stem Rust Resistance Transgenes
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Genetic resistance is the most economical and sustainable approach for crop protection, however, it is regularly overcome by pathogen virulence evolution. Polygenic resistance has greater durability, but unlinked genes are laborious to maintain in breeding programs.
