Conflict and Agricultural Performance: Evidence From Myanmar

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the February 2021 military coup, armed conflict in Myanmar surged by more than 2000%. Against this backdrop, this study contributes to the literature by investigating how the association between conflict and agricultural performance varies by cropping period—planting, mid‐season or harvest—during two subsequent 2021 and 2022 monsoon ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Efficient Masked Autoencoder for Birdsong Representation with Applications on Wild Bird Species Classification

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.
