Reflections on Adoption of New Agricultural Practices
Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Research on adoption of new practices, technologies and systems in agriculture has generated thousands of publications over the past 70 years, covering uptake of agricultural practices spanning more than 100 years. This paper contains selected key lessons from the results of this enormous research effort, drawn from numerous reviews of the ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.We compared soybean plants from untreated and treated seeds across 4 sites and 3 years in Maryland. Neonicotinoid seed treatments (NST) provided little reduction in insect stippling damage and no reduction in chewing damage. NST did not result in increased plant biomass or bean yield. Abstract The use of neonicotinoid insecticides in seed treatments in

Business Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite research on sustainable labels, little is known about combining eco‐ and social labels and the effects on consumers. Although consumers are increasingly confronted with both socially oriented, e.g., fair trade, as well as environmentally oriented eco‐labels such as certified organic cotton, the effect on consumer value has not been ...

A global assessment of animal community responses to agricultural management
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Transitions in agricultural management through crop and noncrop diversification on intensively managed croplands or pastures have benefited biodiversity. However, the extent to which agricultural management benefits species communities present in undisturbed ecosystems remains largely unclear.

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...
