Repeated trends in altitudinal gradients of diversity: How habitat filtering and biotic interactions structure ecological communities

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that tropical butterfly communities show remarkably consistent elevational patterns of diversity and phylogenetic structure across regions with contrasting evolutionary histories, demonstrating how regional species pools and local ecological factors jointly shape biodiversity along altitudinal gradients.

Adoption of Minimum Tillage and Mid‐Season Drainage in Rice Production and Their Impacts on Farm and Economic Performance

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the effects of two greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation practices—minimum tillage and mid‐season drainage—on rice farmers' farm performance (e.g., crop yield and risk) and economic outcomes (e.g., income and vulnerability).

Optimal deep learning activity recognition pipeline using animal bio‐logging data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Animal activity recognition using supervised machine learning on bio‐logging data has revolutionized behavioural studies on wildlife and livestock over the past decade. These studies' analytic pipelines differ substantially though, being based on various sensors, features, algorithms and hyperparameter values, which has caused suboptimal or ...

Understanding cooperative membership and maize market participation in Rwanda: A Bayesian triple‐hurdle analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Smallholder market participation studies often focus narrowly on selling decisions, overlooking the institutional role of agricultural cooperatives, particularly in contexts like Rwanda, where cooperatives underpin agricultural policy. Consequently, empirical evidence on how cooperative membership shapes farmers’ commercialization across ...

Discriminant validity and interrelations of conceptual and procedural knowledge in fractions and algebra: Evidence from confirmatory factor analysis

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Conceptual and procedural knowledge are two distinct types of mathematical knowledge. Measuring them with sufficient discriminant validity is challenging because they are typically highly correlated. Prior studies have demonstrated discriminant validity of paper‐and‐pencil measures separately for fractions and algebra.
