More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Carbon pathways and trophic attributes are conserved in carnivorous reef fishes across a major human disturbance gradient

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our research leverages a natural, ecosystem‐scale experiment and cutting‐edge molecular isotope approaches to reveal that coral reef food web structure and energy flow can remain consistent across a gradient of human disturbance. Abstract Habitat degradation and overexploitation are key drivers of biodiversity loss globally.

Mismatches between the genetic and phenotypic sex in the wild Kou population of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus [PDF]

, 2019
Sex determination and sex chromosomes can be very diverse between teleost species. The group of tilapias shows a polymorphism in sex determination not only between closely related species but also between domestic strains within a species.

Do Adverse Events Influence Time Preferences? Evidence From Smallholder African Farmers

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Time preferences play a critical role in the agri‐food value chains of low‐income countries, impacting the choices of local operators, including innovation uptake. This paper assesses the association between smallholder farmers' individual characteristics, their exposure to diverse adverse events, and their intertemporal choices using in‐the ...
