Information flow and the adoption of soil‐improving and water conservation measures, and household welfare: Insights from a randomized controlled trial in Uganda

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Extension services are designed to facilitate the flow of information from researchers to farmers. However, information failures continue to impede the diffusion of soil‐improving and water conservation technologies in Sub‐Saharan African countries. We use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the impact of an extension‐based campaign

Global harms, local profits: How the uneven costs of natural disasters affect support for green political platforms

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale fires are becoming increasingly common due to climate change. While conventional wisdom suggests that firsthand experiences with natural disasters foster green coalitions by raising awareness of environmental degradation, we propose an alternative view: Natural disasters can heighten the perceived trade‐off between economic ...

Monsters of finance

American Ethnologist, EarlyView.
Abstract An anthropology of horror can serve as a vernacular critique of financial speculation. Drawing on fieldwork in San Pedro, Paraguay, I track horror across three registers: pombero tricksters; plata yvyguy (buried money) as a founding myth of postwar finance; and obligations binding sesame farmers to monsters, patrones, and creditors.

Phylogenomic analysis of ultraconserved elements clarifies relationships and morphological evolution in Cryptoplacoidea (Mollusca: Polyplacophora)

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Targeted enrichment of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) is a powerful tool for resolving phylogeny in groups with limited morphological or molecular data. Here, we use UCEs to reconstruct the first comprehensive phylogeny of the chiton superfamily Cryptoplacoidea, including museum material up to 133 years old.

A framework for cost‐effective scalable revegetation planning: Experimental evidence of early establishment using native grass species

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Restoration projects often lack clear information on economic costs and ecological benefits, making it difficult for decision makers effectively plan and resource implementation. This study tested three revegetation methods using a combined cost‐accounting and theory of change framework, comparing expected and observed results to reveal which ...
