Environmental Performance Evaluation Under the Frontier Analysis Framework: A Farm‐Level Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quantifying and improving the environmental performance (EP) of agriculture has become an urgent research and policy priority. Over the past three decades, frontier‐based analytical frameworks have been widely applied to evaluate farm‐level EP.

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Genomic Investigations Unveil the Genetic Underpinnings of Environmental Adaptation in African Goat Populations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study integrates genomics and landscape genetics to analyze African goat environmental adaptation. Analyzing 1591 samples, it finds population structure differentiates geographically into four groups, with gene flow between wild Yura goats and North Africans.

Nature on the balance sheet: Accountability for Nature Positive

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Nature loss poses a growing risk to the global economy, prompting calls for enhanced business accountability. To support the urgent business transformations required to achieve Nature Positive goals, decision‐makers, investors, lenders and other stakeholders need consistent, comparable and decision‐useful information on the state of nature and

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...
