Recommendations to Reform the National Electricity Market (NEM)
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM) was established in the late 1990s. The market is an energy only gross pool with zonal (state‐based) pricing. Over the past 15 years, the system has undergone a profound transformation as large coal‐fired power stations have retired and substantial volumes of large‐scale and embedded behind the ...

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Excessive water use in rice production is a major source of methane emissions, the dominant greenhouse gas from Vietnam's agricultural sector. Improving water‐use efficiency can enhance water security and reduce emissions, but achieving these gains requires substantial changes in farming practices and significant investment in supporting ...

STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

Maximizing eDNA detections of rare marine organisms: A case study of a delphinid species
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging tool for surveying marine organisms. Advances in molecular assay designs and bioinformatic methods provide new opportunities for detecting rare species; however, overcoming methodological challenges of rare species detection remains an important obstacle for the widespread deployment of eDNA methods for ...

Enhanced fish detection sensitivity in aquatic systems using environmental RNA
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Environmental RNA (eRNA) can potentially augment the biological monitoring ability of the established environmental DNA (eDNA) application in conservation. Despite faster degradation, environmental RNA could offer unique advantages: it may help reduce the legacy signal compared to eDNA, provide insights into physiological status through gene ...

Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.

Recovery Without Reward: How Leadership and Policy Shaped the 2024 Queensland Election
Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Queensland's political culture boasts a predilection for ‘strong’ leadership and ‘pragmatic’ policy where voters value decisive leaders while also rewarding governments capable of delivering ‘material’ economic outcomes. In the context of that culture, this article argues the 2024 Queensland election—producing a result very different from that

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Embryo transfer (ET) in dairy cattle has long been used for the dissemination of elite genetics. However, achieving consistently high pregnancy rates remains a major challenge, particularly in high‐producing lactating dairy cows receiving in‐vitro produced (IVP) embryos.

Birch Leaves as a Minefield: Do Trichomes Mediate Neonate Caterpillar Site Selection?
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We investigated whether neonate Drepana arcuata caterpillars select leaf sites based on trichome distribution. Specifically, we assessed where larvae establish on leaves, quantified trichome distribution on leaves, and tested whether neonates avoid leaf trichomes. Neonates preferentially established and fed on areas with fewer trichomes, especially the

From vision to reality: How ‘sustainability’ is accomplished in projects
European Management Review, EarlyView.Abstract This research investigates how the social and material features of project deliverables influence the way sustainability is carried out. It highlights how the processes through which actors implement sustainability are mediated by the specific type of project deliverable and specifically by the sociomaterial dimensions of the deliverable in ...
