Impacts of Scaling up Agroecology on the Sustainability of European Agriculture in 2050 Les impacts du développement de l'agroécologie sur la durabilité de l'agriculture européenne en 2050 Die Auswirkungen einer großflächigen Verbreitung von agrarökologischen Maßnahmen auf die Nachhaltigkeit der europäischen Landwirtschaft im Jahr 2050

open access: yesEuroChoices, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 27-36, December 2022., 2022
Summary The European Commission recently embraced the concept of agroecology as a pathway to reduce negative impacts from agri‐food systems on the environment. So far, it remains unclear whether agroecology can deliver on these high hopes if implemented on a large scale.

Reproductive Traits of Zoo‐Bred and Wild‐Bred Eastern Massasaugas (Sistrurus catenatus) at Species Survival Plan® Conservation Breeding Centres and Other Facilities

open access: yesZoo Biology, Volume 44, Issue 6, Page 572-588, November/December 2025.
Based on 94 Massasauga litters born in human care, mean litter size and number of live young per litter were higher in wild‐bred than in zoo‐bred litters. Wild‐bred litters more often contained live young than did zoo‐bred litters. In zoo‐bred litters, dam mass was positively associated with above‐average reproductive output.

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.
