Shelters or ecological traps? Context‐dependent effects of nestboxes on breeding success in a colonial raptor

Ibis, EarlyView.
Artificial breeding structures, such as nestboxes, can potentially influence the population size and conservation status of bird species relying on heavily human‐modified environments such as agroecosystems and urban areas. However, the effectiveness of these interventions may vary, as artificial structures could attract individuals to suboptimal ...

Fixing Rice Stubble Burning for Delhi's Air: Technological Solutionism and Agrarian Governance in Haryana

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Every winter, Delhi's polluted air draws national attention to the burning of rice stubble in neighbouring states. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Haryana in north India, this article shows how bureaucrats and scientists attempt to enact certainty around technological solutions to stubble burning even while privately acknowledging their ...
