Summary: The article addresses the central tension in the conceptualization of ruralization and discusses the potential entrenchment of a new binary by proposing ruralization as a response. The response to the commentaries focuses on the engagement with the rural-urban binary, and the conclusion touches upon the challenges of theorizing in accordance with the voices and imaginations of people in the Global South.

Summary: Opisthorchiasis is an overlooked danger in Southeast Asia, with 12.39 million people estimated to be infected with O. viverrini in 2018 in four major endemic countries. High-resolution risk maps provide valuable information for spatial targeting of control interventions for this disease.

Summary: The study in northern Southeast Asia revealed significant changes in land cover, with an average land use change frequency of 5.4 times. There was a noticeable difference between the annual approach and time-stage approach in determining land use change, emphasizing the importance of selecting an appropriate time period for studying land use change at a local scale.

Summary: This study introduces a new statistical approach to predict the occurrence frequency of peak-season tropical cyclones in the South China Sea and east of the Philippines, based on pre-seasonal environmental fields. The identified predictors capture the interannual variability of different types of peak-season tropical cyclones, providing skillful seasonal predictions. The statistical approach is further developed into a hybrid method using predictors derived from dynamical seasonal forecasts, which shows significant skill for both regions. The statistical and hybrid predictions outperform the dynamical predictions, indicating their potential for operational use.

Summary: The Asian rodent tick (Ixodes granulatus) is prevalent in Asia and often bites humans, carrying potentially harmful pathogens. However, little is known about the tick's ecology and its interaction with its sylvatic hosts. To understand more about this important species, the tick's habitat preferences were studied in Singapore and Malaysia. The tick showed a strong association with old forest habitats and was absent from other habitats, such as young forest, scrubland, and parks/gardens. Factors such as sex and body condition index were found to be significant predictors of tick infestation risk. Understanding the ecology of this tick is crucial for effective public health efforts to prevent tick bites and minimize human-tick interaction.

Summary: Southeast Asia aims to increase its use of renewable energy by 23% by 2025. This study creates a spatial model to develop multi-renewable energy from solar, wind, and hydropower in the region. The integration of suitability analysis and energy potential estimation results in a new priority model for renewable energy development.

Summary: The study introduces a rule-based method for mapping paddy rice using time series Sentinel-1 and MODIS data, which yielded accurate paddy rice maps for Southeast and Northeast Asia. The resulting maps showed high correlation with agricultural statistics and existing maps in various countries. These maps are valuable for water resource management and rice growth monitoring in the region.

Summary: Seagrass beds provide critical nursery habitats and spawning grounds for fish, but they are threatened by human activities and climate change. This study investigates the patterns of larval occurrence and abundance in seagrass meadows with varying degrees of fragmentation and identifies water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, zooplankton, and chlorophyll-a as important factors influencing the composition of larval assemblages. The study also finds that fish larvae are more abundant in healthy seagrass habitats and that degraded habitats still support some species.

Summary: The study investigates the provenance of Lower Cretaceous deposits in the Phuquoc Basin, revealing that the Qinling-Dabie and Songpan-Ganzi orogenic belts were major sources of sediment in the Early Cretaceous. The analysis of detrital zircon and heavy mineral compositions suggests a common sediment source with Khorat and Sichuan basins, and similarities with mid-Cretaceous strata in the Lanping-Simao Basin. This supports the idea that the Phuquoc, Khorat, Sichuan, and possibly the Lanping-Simao basins were part of a Cretaceous basin in central SE Asia.

Summary: This study selected Mainland Southeast Asia as the study area and investigated the changes in tropical cyclone characteristics and associated rainfall. It was found that cyclones originating from the Western North Pacific and the South China Sea had the greatest influence on rainfall in Southeast Asia, while those from the Bay of Bengal had a relatively small impact. Additionally, the total rainfall contributed by cyclones accounted for up to 47% of the annual extreme rainfall amount in Southeast Asia. The study also observed significant decreasing trends in rainfall in the southeast region and increasing trends in the northeast region.

Summary: The study focused on the abundance, distribution, and status of marine debris on the Thondi coast, Palk Bay, Southeast coast of India. Results showed that plastics were the predominant type of marine debris, with a Clean-Coast Index ranging between 4.25 (clean) and 20.4 (extremely dirty). The high CCI value indicated a significant level of marine debris pollution, mainly from land-based sources. The findings suggest the need for improved waste management and prevention efforts to protect the marine environment.

Summary: The recognition of food justice as a part of food studies inquiry has shed light on the impact of oppression on traditional foods of Indigenous peoples. The classification of food oppression based on different cultural foods reveals that these have permeated diets on various spatial scales, causing deprivation in local communities.
