Rangeland Productivity and Exploitation in the Sahel

Science, 1983
Results of a Malian-Dutch research project on the Sahelian pastures and their utilization suggest reasons why some efforts to develop traditional livestock farming in this area have been unsuccessful. Failure to appreciate the effects of low soil fertility as well as low rainfall on pasture production has resulted in underestimation of the productivity

Rice EMF3 Alleles Adjust Flower Opening Time to Enhance the Seed Setting Rate Under High Temperature Stress

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To safeguard global food security against rapid population growth and a warming world, the effective genetic improvement of cereals is imperative. Flower opening time (FOT) critically affects the seed setting rate. In this study, we identified a gene, EARLY‐MORNING FLOWERING 3 (EMF3), in which single‐nucleotide substitutions strongly modulate ...

What is a Multi‐Ethnic Party and How to Spot a Fake One?

Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Multi‐ethnic parties have been variously defined: as those which do not champion the interests of, or mobilize against, any specific ethnic group; as those with a recognisably cross‐communal leadership or membership; and as those which acquire some distribution of support across groups.

Developmental Profiling of Structural and Functional Maturation in Mouse Corpus Callosum

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 6, June 2026.
Progressive myelin development in mouse corpus callosum is accompanied by gradual decrease in oligodendrocyte precursor cell density and increase in oligodendrocyte density. Pro‐Capase‐3 is transiently upregulated in oligodendrocyte during postnatal development.

Roadblock Geographies: A Typology of Extraction, Circulation, and Authority in Conflict

Area, Volume 58, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract This article develops a typology of roadblock geographies in conflict‐affected borderlands as extractive landscapes. Drawing on transport geography, it identifies how infrastructural variation—footpaths, roads and ports—shapes who extracts rents, how and to what effect.
