Basis risk, social comparison, perceptions of fairness, and demand for insurance: A field experiment in Ethiopia

open access: yesJournal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Index insurance lowers agricultural risk but covers only covariate risks. Since farmers do not have complete insurance, they may develop mistrust of insurance when experiencing crop losses and not receiving payouts. Although recent innovations in remote sensing enable the provision of more complete insurance including coverage for ...

Comparison of coproparasitological diagnoses in cats: evaluation of techniques and their combinations

open access: yesJournal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives To compare the Willis, Sheather, Faust, Ritchie and spontaneous sedimentation techniques, as well as their combinations, for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal parasites in domestic and semi‐domesticated felines. Materials and Methods Coproparasitological analyses were conducted on domestic cats of both sexes and all age groups, including ...

Canopy‐scale VPD reduction in a mature forest alters stomatal response to soil drought in Pinus sylvestris L.

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
In a mature Scots pine forest (Pfynwald, Switzerland), canopy vapor pressure deficit (VPD)a was reduced with a misting system (a) and combined with a throughfall‐exclusion roof that imposed soil drought (b). Under the roofs (c), trees at ambient VPD closed their stomata steeply as predawn water potential (ΨPD) fell, reaching closure around −1.2 MPa ...

AI in Public Decision‐Making: A Philosophical and Practical Framework for Assessing and Weighing Harm and Benefit

open access: yesPublic Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in public decision‐making; yet existing governance tools often lack clear definitions of harm and benefit, practical methods for weighing competing values, and guidance for resolving value conflicts.

Hierarchical Regulatory Module AcERF1–AcHAT5–AcERF10 Modulates Ethylene‐Dependent Starch Degradation in Postharvest Kiwifruit

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transcriptional regulatory network underlying ethylene‐governed starch‐to‐sugar conversion remains poorly understood. We elucidated the hierarchical regulatory cascade linking ethylene signalling to starch degradation in postharvest kiwifruit.

Rhizobacterial Modulation of Maize Defense Alters Herbivore Performance and Parasitoid Behavior

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The association between plants and beneficial soil microorganisms can profoundly influence aboveground trophic interactions, yet these effects are often context‐dependent. Although plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are increasingly used in maize production, little is known about how these microorganisms affect maize defenses against ...

Benzoic Acid Secreted From the Chickpea Root Promotes Persistent Colonisation by Specific Soil Microbes

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The plant root tip is highly sensitive to environmental cues and exerts sensory, chemical and movement responses. However, the microbial diversification at the root tip, and the nature of root‐selection for microbes, are poorly understood. This study investigated root exudation and microbiome colonisation in the chickpea (Cicer arietinum L ...

Impacts of reclamation approaches on plant establishment in an arid environment during copper mine revegetation

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Revegetation using native vegetation is a commonly used technique to reclaim landscapes degraded by mining activities. Revegetation efforts in the arid Southwestern United States face physical, geochemical, hydrological, and biological challenges unique to drylands.
