Determinants for Use of Certified Maize Seed and the Relative Importance of Transaction Costs [PDF]

The rising world prices for major tradable staples such as maize have been a concern for sub- Saharan countries such as Kenya which are maize deficit countries. Maize is a major staple food for over 80 percent of Kenya’s population. Kenya relies on maize

Graduated Involution Under Compressed Modernity: Differences in the Summer Holidays as a Phase in the Public Life‐Course in Shanghai, China

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops the concept of graduated involution to explain how summer holidays have been reconstituted from leisure time into an educational arena for Chinese families under conditions of compressed modernity. Based on qualitative data from 32 households in Shanghai, including interviews and child self‐recordings, we analyze how ...

Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.

Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.
