The European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus) as an ally for the control of the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax)

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.
The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.

Encouraging native predators of invasive yellow‐legged hornets: breeding habitat preferences of European honey buzzards in exotic Eucalyptus plantations

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Our study revealed a positive relationship between the structural complexity of forest plantations and their capacity to deliver regulating ecosystem services. The likelihood of occurrence and the density of breeding pairs of European honey buzzards increased in proportion to the structural complexity of Eucalyptus forest plantations: large trees ...

Assessing ecological vulnerability in the Kulsi River Basin, Assam using an MCDM‐based analytical hierarchical approach

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Abstract The Kulsi River basin, situated in the South Kamrup district of Assam, India, is noted for its rich fish diversity and significant deposits of Pre‐Cambrian quality sand in its headstreams. These deposits gradually make their way downstream, acting as a catalyst for local livelihoods. However, the intricate ecosystem fostered by the Kulsi River

Assessing the economic impact of an emissions trading scheme on agroforestry in Australia’s northern grazing systems [PDF]

open access: yes
Although agriculture generates a significant portion of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, it also has the potential to sequester large quantities of emissions through changed land use management such as agroforestry.

Trends in Market‐Based Blue Carbon Projects

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The integration of blue carbon (BC) into the voluntary carbon market promotes BC ecosystem management through financial incentives. We analysed 70 BC projects and present a comprehensive knowledge synthesis on a multifaceted BC sector and its contribution toward sustainable development. Currently, market‐based BC projects are located across 29
