Consistent diel activity patterns of forest mammals among tropical regions por Vallejo-Vargas, A.F., Sheil, D., Semper-Pascual, A., Beaudrot, L., Ahumada, Jorge A., Akampurira, E., Bitariho, R., Espinosa, S., Estienne, V., Jansen, P.A., Kayijamahe, C., Martin, E.H., Lima, M.G.M., Mugerwa, B., Rovero, F., Salvador, J., Santos, F., Spironello, W.R., Uzabaho, E., Bischof, R.

“…Apart from Neotropical insectivores, guilds exhibited consistent cross-regional activity in relation to body mass. Results indicate that thermoregulation constrains herbivore and insectivore activity (e.g., larger Afrotropical herbivores are ~7 times more likely to be nocturnal than smaller herbivores), while bottom-up processes constrain the activity of carnivores in relation to herbivores, and top-down processes constrain the activity of small omnivores and insectivores in relation to large carnivores’ activity. …”

PERUMIN INSPIRA. Identificando Emprendimientos en Espacios Rurales en Base a la Innovación. por Ordinola, M., Fonseca, C., Pradel, W.

“…One of the options for the development of family farming is to promote access to different markets (national or international). Related to this, various contributions in relation to the analysis of the development problems of rural markets highlight two fundamental aspects that must be faced: the few opportunities in local markets and the limited access to more dynamic markets with competitive products. …”

Genome-wide association study of elite spring bread wheat (triticum aestivum l.) genotypes under drought conditions across different locations por Ed-Daoudy, Lamyae, Zakaria, EL Gataa, Sbabou, Laila, Tadesse, Wuletaw

“…Drought, is the main abiotic stressor that significantly reduces bread wheat's grain yield and related-traits. A genome-wide association study was conducted using the 10K wheat SNP markers for grain yield and related traits of 246 spring bread wheat genotypes from ICARDA to identify the genomic regions and marker-trait associations (MTAs) responsible for drought tolerance. …”

Development and validation of a health and nutrition module for the project-level Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (pro-WEAI+HN) por Heckert, Jessica, Martinez, Elena M., Seymour, Greg, Pereira, Audrey, Roy, Shalini, Kim, Sunny S., Malapit, Hazel J.

“…We developed an optional, complementary module for the project-level women's empowerment in agriculture index (pro-WEAI) to measure health- and nutrition-related agency (pro-WEAI + HN). Our method for developing related indicators used data collected from six agricultural development programmes implemented across Bangladesh, Burkina Faso and Mali (pooled sample = 12,114) and applied psychometric analysis (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis) and the Alkire−Foster methodology. …”

Assessing the development impacts of bio-innovations: The case of genetically modified maize and cassava in Tanzania por Benfica, Rui, Zambrano, Patricia, Chambers, Judith A., Falck-Zepeda, José B.

“…First, GM maize and cassava (individually and jointly) have positive impacts in the economy, the AFS, and the poverty, particularly in rural areas and among the poorest households. Second, given its relatively greater relevance in output and employment, and the stronger linkages in the AFS, the effects of GM maize on GDP and AFS growth, and poverty is relatively stronger than those from GM cassava. …”

Food crop production, nutrient availability, and nutrient intakes in Bangladesh: Exploring the agriculture–nutrition nexus with the 2010 Household Income and Expenditure Survey por Fiedler, John L.

“…Each household's total apparent nutrient intake adequacies are estimated, taking into account the amount of each crop that households consume from their own production, together with food purchased or obtained from other sources.Even though rice contains relatively small amounts of micronutrients, has relatively low nutrient density, and is a relatively poor source of nutrients compared with what other crops can produce on a given tract of land, because so much rice is produced in Bangladesh, it is the source of 90% of the total available energy, 85% of the zinc, 67% of the calcium, and 55% of the iron produced by the agricultural sector. …”
