Rapid tool based on a food environment typology framework for evaluating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on food system resilience
(2020)The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and associated mitigation measures are highlighting resiliency and vulnerability of food systems with consequences for diets, food security, and health outcomes. Frameworks and tools ... -
Sources of Variation in Maternal Allocation in a Long‐lived Mammal
(2020-06)Life history theory predicts allocation of energy to reproduction varies with maternal age, but additional maternal features may be important to the allocation of energy to reproduction. We aimed to characterize age‐specific ... -
Evaluating Native Bee Communities and Nutrition in Managed Grasslands
(2020-06)Native pollinators are important for providing vital services in agroecosystems; however, their numbers are declining globally. Bees are the most efficient and diverse members of the pollinator community; therefore, it is ... -
Co-design of Adaptable Learning Outcomes for Sustainable Food Systems Undergraduate Education
