Cumulative Duration and Habitat Selection Across the Annual‐Cycle Stages: Links to Human Modification in Two Declining Shorebirds

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
First multi‐season analysis linking cumulative duration and habitat selection to human modification in two declining shorebirds. A total of 160 cumulative duration was identified at four periods for two species. Longer cumulative duration correlate with higher human modification in coastal wetlands during northward migration and winter.

Evaluation of Relative Abundance Techniques (RATs) for Monitoring Rodent Abundance and Predicting Rodent Damage in Rice Agroecosystems

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Among the different relative abundance techniques, giving‐up density (GUD) indices during the early and maximum tillering stages of rice development, and burrow counts during post‐harvest showed the highest correlation with cumulative tiller damage caused by rodents.

Sustainable Development of Rainfed Agriculture in India

open access: yes, 1996
India's agricultural growth has been sufficient to move the country from severe food crises of the 1960s to aggregate food surpluses today. Most of the increase in agricultural output over the years has taken place under irrigated conditions.

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

open access: yesAmerican 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
