The role of perceived peer effect in shaping farmers’ adaptive behaviors in Cambodia
The lower Mekong Region has experienced increasing social and ecological changes due to dam construction and climate change. Small-scale, subsistence farmers are greatly affected by these changes and are likely to respond in ways that minimize their risk. Social networks can influence farmers’ behaviors and contribute to their adaptive capacity, yet their role in shaping adaptive behaviors under limited institutional support remains understudied.…
Assessing household drought risk perception in resource-dependent communities, Cambodia
There is a need to understand resource users’ understanding of drought risk in relation to individual and community-level factors in Lower Mekong Region (LMR). This study quantifies variations in drought risk perception among households in irrigated and flood-pulse communities, identifying the biophysical, experiential, socio-psychological, and geographical factors shaping these perceptions. A mixed-methods approach, including Confounding Factor …

Assessing the impact of homeowner associations’ pro-environmental codes, covenants, and restrictions on member yards
Promoting the Resilience of Health Care Information Systems—The Day Hospitals Stood Still
This Viewpoint describes health care disruption owing to a global computer system outage and advocates for preventive methods to avoid future IT events disrupting the health care sector
Informed consent and compulsory medical device registries
Many high-risk medical devices earn US marketing approval based on limited premarket clinical evaluation that leaves important questions unanswered. Rigorous postmarket surveillance includes registries that actively collect and maintain information defined by individual patient exposures to particular devices. Several prominent registries for cardiovascular devices require enrolment as a condition of reimbursement for the implant procedure, witho…

Complex Ways in Which Landscape Conditions and Risks Affect Human Attitudes Towards Wildlife
Negative interactions between humans and wildlife (i.e. those presenting risks to human security or private property) can trigger retaliation and potential human-wildlife conflict (HWC). The nature and strength of these human responses may depend on previous interactions with wildlife and can be shaped by landscape conditions. However, the ways in which previous experiences and landscape conditions interact to shape peoples' attitudes towards wil…
What Should Cardiac Patients Know About Device Cybersecurity Prior to Implantation
Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) procedures require informed consent and, ideally, shared decision making to guide patients through their experiences as CIED recipients. The information that different patients need or want about cybersecurity risk varies. This article considers device cybersecurity risks in light of federal guidelines and suggests strategies for communicating these risks clearly during informed consent conversations a…
The role of social networks in partnership development with state wildlife agencies
The emergence of partnerships between state wildlife agencies and public or private organizations has allowed for more efficient and effective strategies to address conservation concerns. Cultivating such partnerships can increase public engagement in decision-making processes and ensure better relationships with constituents. Grant programs are a proven method for many state wildlife agencies to create, improve, and maintain habitat with partner…
Incorporating Health Equity Into Covid-19 Reopening Plans
California has focused on health equity in the state’s COVID-19 reopening plan. The Blueprint for a Safer Economy assigns each of California’s 58 counties into 1 of 4 tiers based on 2 metrics: test positivity rate and adjusted case rate. To advance to the next less-restrictive tier, counties must meet that tier’s test positivity and adjusted case rate thresholds. In addition, counties must have a plan for targeted investments within disadvantaged…
Agricultural Biodiversity Maintenance in a Coastal Socio-Ecological System
Biological control of an invasive pest eases pressures on global commodity markets
In an increasingly globalized world, invasive species cause major human, financial, and environmental costs. A cosmopolitan pest of great concern is the cassava mealybug Phenacoccus manihoti (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), which invaded Asia in 2008. Following its arrival, P. manihoti inflicted measurable yield losses and a 27% drop in aggregate cassava production in Thailand. As Thailand is a vital exporter of cassava-derived commodities to China a…

Understanding Peer Influence in Hunter Harvest Decisions Using Social Network Theory and Analysis
State wildlife agencies are increasingly seeking the advice and cooperation of wildlife stakeholders, including that of private hunting cooperatives. While there is some evidence that the interests and actions of private deer cooperatives align with those of state wildlife agencies, little is known about the internal social mechanisms that explain this. Social network theory and analysis can shed some light on these internal group dynamics. This …
Informing Community Engagement in Sea Turtle Conservation by Examining Non-Conservation-Related Participation in Northeast Brazil
Participation in conservation programs is often viewed as a necessity, but understanding of this participation is limited. This research takes a different approach by also examining participation in non-conservation-related activities. Questionnaires (N = 339) were administered in four Brazilian coastal communities where the national sea turtle conservation project conducts monitoring and outreach. Employing social capital as a conceptual framewo…
On Using Mental Model Interviews to Improve Camera Trapping
In many regions, including our study area along the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua, it is necessary to apply traditional or local environmental knowledge in biological research projects based in Western scientific knowledge. In such projects, it is important for both researchers and local people that the integration of the two knowledge systems: a) produces scientifically rigorous reports, and b) justly benefits local people. As every knowledge sys…

Adaptive Harvesting in a Multiple-Species Coral-Reef Food Web
The utility of traditional bio-economic harvest models suffers from their dependence on two commonly used approaches. First, optimization is often assumed for harvester behavior despite system complexity and the often neglected costs associated with information gathering and deliberation. Second, ecosystem interactions are infrequently modeled despite a growing awareness that these interactions are important. This paper develops a simulation mode…
