Cash Transfers, Trust, and Inter-household Transfers: Experimental Evidence from Tanzania by Evans, David, Kosec, Katrina

“…Formal transfers may reduce inter-household transfers by reducing needs, or perceived needs, among the vulnerable households, or they may increase inter-household transfers by giving more liquidity to poor households to provide transfers in response to idiosyncratic shocks experienced by other households in the community. …”

Think globally, measure locally: The MIREN standardized protocol for monitoring plant species distributions along elevation gradients by Haider, Sylvia, Lembrechts, Jonas J., McDougall, Keith, Pauchard, Aníbal, Alexander, Jake M., Barros, Agustina, Cavieres, Lohengrin A., Rashid, Irfan, Rew, Lisa J., Aleksanyan, Alla, Dimarco, Romina Daniela, Seipel, Tim

“…Range shifts are often idiosyncratic and difficult to generalize, partly due to variation in sampling methods. …”

Unintended consequences of planting native and non-native trees in treeless ecosystems to mitigate climate change by Moyano, Jaime, Dimarco, Romina Daniela, Paritsis, Juan, Peterson, Tess, Peltzer, Duane A., Crawford, Kerri M., McCary, Matthew A., Davis, Kimberley T., Pauchard, Aníbal, Nuñez, Martin Andrés

“…This review highlights that the positive and negative impacts of planting trees in naturally treeless ecosystems as a strategy to mitigate climate change are idiosyncratic, depending on the location where trees are introduced, the time period trees are allowed to grow, and risks of spread and impacts associated with specific tree species. …”

Invasions: the trail behind, the path ahead, and a test of a disturbing idea by Moles, Angela, Flores Moreno, Habacuc, Bonser, Stephen P., Warton, David I., Helm, Aveliina, Warman, Laura, Eldridge, David J., Jurado, Enrique, Hemmings, Frank A., Reich, Peter B., Cavender Bares, Jeannine, Seabloom, Eric William, Mayfield, Margaret M., Sheil, Douglas, Djietror, Jonathan C., Peri, Pablo Luis, Enrico, Lucas, Cabido, Marcelo Ruben, Setterfield, Samantha, Lehman, Caroline, Thomson, Fiona

“…Three main conclusions emerge from our review: (i) Many lines of research, including the search for traits that make species good invaders, or that make ecosystems susceptible to invasion, are yielding idiosyncratic results. To move forward, we advocate a more synthetic approach that incorporates a range of different types of information about the introduced species and the communities and habitats they are invading. …”
