Plant pathogen profiling with the EpiPvr package

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract This study introduces a flexible framework for epidemiological profiling of insect‐borne plant pathogens (IBPPs), utilising readily available experimental data. The framework is applicable to most IBPPs transmitted by insects feeding on plant veins, with particular relevance to whitefly‐borne viruses that impact cassava production in sub ...

Integrated Species Distribution Model Using Historical Data Shows Decline in a Common Semi‐Aquatic Mammal

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
A diagram of the integrated species distribution model of river otter intensity of use. Three types of data (latrine detections, roadkill detections, and detection/nondetection surveys) are linked by different observation processes to the same underlying intensity of use.

Rainfall timing, forage growth, and insuring forage: Linking producer perceptions to observational data

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract The timing and amount of rainfall are crucial in forage growth. Producer perceptions of the rainfall distribution are likely to influence their choices related to the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index insurance program. Because of the scarcity of forage production data, diversity of forage production systems, and climates ...

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

Annals 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 ...

Simultaneous detection of gradual and abrupt structural changes in Bayesian longitudinal modelling using entropy and model fit measures

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although individuals may exhibit both gradual and abrupt changes in their dynamic properties as shaped by both slowly accumulating influences and acute events, existing statistical frameworks offer limited capacity for the simultaneous detection and representation of these distinct change patterns.

Untangling nutrient co‐regulation of ombrotrophic peatland development

Boreas, EarlyView.
Multi‐method (FTIR, FT‐NIR and TGA) approaches characterizing the organic peat constituents at Holcroft Moss reveal a record of switches that reflect broadly hydroclimate variability governing the decomposition patterns. There are periods, however, where hydroclimate does not fully explain the variability observed and instead changes appear linked to ...

Health Economic Considerations for the Implementation of Artificial Intelligence‐Enabled Diabetic Retinopathy Screening: A Review

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) has comparable accuracy to ophthalmologists for diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening, yet its cost‐effectiveness is crucial for implementation. Our review of 18 health economic analyses of AI versus manual grading for DR found significant methodological variation, with cost‐utility analysis and Markov modelling ...

Mapping Mediterranean bentho‐demersal communities to better inform marine conservation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Marine protected areas are one of the most common conservation tools being implemented worldwide to reach conservation targets, but their implementation does not usually take the heterogeneous distribution of bentho‐demersal communities into account.

Environmental factors affect the condition of critically endangered freshwater pearl mussels by disrupting terrestrial–aquatic resource connectivity

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This regional‐scale field study shows that critically threatened freshwater pearl mussels rely substantially on terrestrial organic matter, indicating strong connectivity between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. However, human pressures at the catchment scale reduced this resource connectivity.
