Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 4, Page 497-505, May 2026.ABSTRACT Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major annual crop cultivated worldwide. In the Americas, the corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (DeLong) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is a key pest of this crop, causing direct damage to plants through phloem feeding and indirect damage by transmitting phytopathogens.

Female Education and Child Marriage
Review of Development Economics, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 1032-1047, May 2026.ABSTRACT We examine why the education of young girls has historically lagged behind that of young boys across different countries. Using data from 105 countries during 1990–2020, we discover some evidence that is consistent with the idea that parents in many traditional societies reduce investments in the primary schooling of their daughters after they

Aid to Fight AIDS: An Empirical Analysis of HIV‐Specific Development Aid Effectiveness
Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Volume 73, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT Using an excludable instrument for HIV‐specific aid, we investigate its effectiveness on HIV outcomes viz., prevalence and death rates. We theorize that HIV‐specific aid fills the funding gap that prevents governments from committing adequate resources to effectively address the epidemic.

Internet, Inequality, and Regime Stability
Scottish Journal of Political Economy, Volume 73, Issue 2, May 2026.ABSTRACT This study examines the link between income inequality and political instability, focusing on the moderating role of Internet penetration. Using data from over 120 countries (1996–2020), we find a conditional relationship: in low‐Internet countries, higher inequality associates with lower instability, likely due to limited political awareness ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Understanding the cause of spatial variations in seismicity is crucial for comprehending the physics governing earthquake activity. Off Iwate, in the northern Japan Trench subduction zone, the plate boundary can be divided into three distinct zones based on depth‐dependent slip regimes: the slow earthquake, asperity, and stable creeping zones.

How pro-poor is the selection of seasonal migrant workers from Tonga under New Zealand's recognized seasonal employer program ? [PDF]
Temporary migration programs for unskilled workers are increasingly being proposed as a way to both relieve labor shortages in developed countries and aid development in sending countries without entailing many of the costs associated with permanent ...

Regional‐to‐Global Tectonic and Trench‐Morphology Effects of Oceanic Plateau Subduction
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Regional geodynamic modeling has shown that oceanic plateau subduction can modify the slab behavior. However, few studies have explored these interactions beyond 100 Myr in 3‐D spherical models. Using 3‐D spherical mantle convection models with self‐consistent plate‐like behavior, we investigate how the geometry and rheological properties of ...
