Classification of agricultural systems based on pesticide use intensity and safety
No full textAn analysis of socio-economic driving forces in crop protection is proposed to improve the implementation of sustainable strategies. The analysis includes: (1) a classification of agricultural systems based on pesticide use intensity and safety, (2) an evaluation of the profitability of farming systems and identification of socio-economic factors that influence pesticide use and (3) formulation of policy recommendations. We find that for cereals and for fruit trees alike, crop yields are much higher for agricultural systems with high doses of pesticides. The safety of applied pesticides does not affect crop protection costs significantly. For cropping systems characterised by low-intensity in pesticide use, the application of safer products has a positive effect on reduction of crop protection costs.pesticide use, driving forces in crop protection, economic analysis of agricultural systems, Crop Production/Industries,
An interview with Mayra Rivera: Postcolonial women's writing and material religion
No full textIn this interview, Mayra Rivera talks about her own journey with literature and theology and what this relationship means to her. She talks about the distinct role that literature plays in a postcolonial context, and its ability to articulate painful losses, histories, as well as economic and environmental realities, with a particular focus on the Caribbean and South America, and the work of Sylvia Wynter, Edwidge Danticat, Mayra Santos Febres, Édouard Glissant, amongst others. This storytelling is often deeply theological and material. The nature of this entanglement, between storytelling, theology, materiality, and post/neo/de-colonialism, is explored in heartfelt detail

Anyphaena franciscoi Rivera-Quiroz & Álvarez-Padilla 2023, sp. nov.
No full textAnyphaena franciscoi sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: D00F2524-98DA-4755-82FE-FC064FCD1CCD Figs 17, 18E–F, 52 Differential diagnosis The female of A. franciscoi sp. nov. is differentiated from all those of species of the pectorosa and pacifica groups by the following features: atrium trapezoidal, hood broad and posteriorly curved at the center (Figs 17E–F, 18E–F). The female of A. rebecae sp. nov. also has a similar trapezoidal atrium, and copulatory duct paths (Fig. 28E–F), but it differs from that of A. franciscoi sp. nov. by the notched hood and smaller size (7.23 ±1.1). Anyphaena sofiae sp. nov. shares similar copulatory duct paths and spermathecal proportions with both species, but differs by the oval atrium and copulatory ducts extending beyond the hood (Fig. 36E–F). Etymology The species epithet is dedicated to Francisco Rivera, father of the first author. Material examined Holotype MEXICO • ♀; San Luis Potosi, Xilitla City, Las Pozas; 21.39722° N, 98.99388° W; alt. 662 m; 26–30 Mar. 2012; Arcanolab team leg.; tropical wet forest fragment; LUP; CNAN-T01527.

Legs femora base yellow, orange-brown distally and from patella to tarsi (Fig. 17A–C). Abdomen dorsal surface white and delineated by two light brown parallel longitudinal lines, lateral surfaces white and dorsally delineated by light brown longitudinal lines, ventral surface center with faint light brown longitudinal band from epigastric furrow to spinneret bases, tracheal spiracle closer to epigastric furrow (Fig. 17A–C). Anterior area of epigynal plate delineated laterally by two faint triangular pits. Genital openings at both sides of anterior edge of atrium under hood. Copulatory duct slightly curved and entering surface of anterior spermathecae. Seminal receptacles oval in anterior third of copulatory ducts.
