Public Opinion About Community Participation in Natural Resources Governance: A Population Survey in Indonesia and Malaysia

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The international conservation and natural resources communities have increasingly embraced the principle of community participation. This rhetoric around participation has gained power and influence in setting countries' agendas for natural resources governance, largely without a sound understanding of public opinion on the issues.

Silica and Selenium Nanoparticles Attract or Repel Scale Insects by Altering Physicochemical Leaf Traits

Plants
Although nanoparticles have gained attention as efficient alternatives to conventional agricultural chemicals, there is limited knowledge regarding their effects on herbivorous insect behavior and plant physicochemistry. Here, we investigated the effects

Potential value of the fibre nettle Urtica dioica as a resource for the nettle aphid Microlophium carnosum and its insect and fungal natural enemies [PDF]

, 2010
The perennial stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.) is a wild plant that provides resources for aphid natural enemies and can therefore benefit crop protection.

Changing Minds in Times of War: An Intervention Tournament to Increase Public Support for Ending the Israel–Gaza War

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Public opinion plays a central role in shaping conflict dynamics and influencing wartime policy. In this work, we examined which psychological intergroup interventions could increase public opposition to war. Building on research showing that instrumental reasoning and social identification are central, though not exhaustive, predictors of war‐

Synergistic control of maize stalk rot using Allomyrina dichotoma gut-derived biocontrol bacteria with reduced fungicide application

Biological Control
Maize stalk rot caused by Fusarium spp. significantly reduces maize yield and quality. Although chemical fungicides are widely used for disease control, their overuse raises concerns regarding environmental contamination, risks to human and animal health,

Geopolitics and global strategy: Making money under anarchy

Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Multinational firms conduct cross‐border trade and investment in a world of anarchy, where nation‐states must secure their survival in the absence of a world government. We develop a geopolitical‐economic order (GEO) framework to argue that the extent of geopolitical competition incentivizes states to create one of two types ...

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

The Influence of Tree Diversity on Natural Enemies — a Review of the “Enemies” Hypothesis in Forests

, 2023
Purpose of Review Natural enemies are an important component for forest functioning. By consuming herbivores, they can be effective top-down regulators of potential pest species. Tree mixtures are generally expected to have larger predator and
