Farmers' tolerance for crop damage caused by wildlife: the role of compensation

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Compensation is a common strategy to alleviate financial losses caused by wildlife, but its effects on farmers' tolerance towards damage to crops caused by wildlife are poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted semi‐structured interviews in three areas in and around biosphere reserves in Sweden and Germany to examine farmers ...

Variation in diurnal and nocturnal movements distances revealed in wintering dabbling ducks in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Movement of waterfowl during winter is central to resource acquisition and mortality avoidance, despite the imminent risk to survival and overall fitness induced by hunting disturbance and energy expenditure. Weather and other environmental conditions may influence movement by altering resource needs, in which ducks must balance the trade‐offs of ...

Local sub‐population dynamics of a central European grey partridge meta‐population support large‐scale conservation approach to halt its ongoing decline

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many farmland birds such as the grey partridge Perdix perdix are experiencing sharp declines across Europe, which can lead to fragmentation and increasing isolation of local populations. Understanding the population dynamics of these local populations is becoming increasingly important for effective conservation efforts.

Fearfulness of geese and swans on cropland in winter: a multi‐species flight initiation distance approach

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Geese and swans are focal species in conservation and in management aimed at reducing crop damage. In the former disturbance should be minimized, and in the latter it is important to know how different species react to scaring activities. Previous research about trade‐off between predation risk and foraging in birds often uses ‘flight initiation ...

Complexity drives resource selection of two sympatric ungulate species

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
For decades, mule deer Odocoileus hemionus populations have appeared to shrink across their range in North America, while white‐tailed deer O. virginianus populations have increased, and their range has expanded. The underlying drivers of these patterns are unclear, and a combination of factors may be at play, including land use changes, climate change,

Crossing thermal boundaries: Quantifying the impact of sublethal heat stress on growth in black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectothermic responses to permissive temperatures that support growth, maintenance and repair are typically modelled by thermal performance curves (TPC). In contrast, thermal death time (TDT) models are well suited to describe the potent, exponential accumulation of ...

Seasonally variable thermal performance curves prevent adverse effects of heatwaves

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study showed that seasonal variation in thermal performance (or the lack thereof) can influence how vulnerable populations are to heatwaves. Abstract 1. Differential vulnerability to heatwaves may affect community dynamics in a changing climate.

Mycorrhizal fungi compromise production of endophytic alkaloids, increasing plant susceptibility to an aphid herbivore

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
These findings indicate that symbiotic fungal partnerships and silicon provision may benefit plants but could weaken anti‐herbivore defences when combined. Revealing the complex interactions among diverse fungal symbionts and showcasing their effects on different anti‐herbivore defences (chemical and physical) and herbivore performance for the first ...

The Consequences of Soil Organic Carbon for Crop Yield, Farm Productivity and Profit

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop choices affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, allowing farmers to manipulate the amount of carbon sequestered in the soil over time. This paper examines the private and public benefits of crop rotations that sequester additional carbon across the province of Saskatchewan, Canada using a novel field‐level dataset from the Saskatchewan ...

Discretion in the Governance Work of Internal Auditors: Interplay Between Institutional Complexity and Organizational Embeddedness

British Journal of Management, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 686-706, April 2025.
Abstract This study examines which factors facilitate (obstruct) the discretion exercised by ground‐level governance actors, such as internal auditors, in justifying their governance work. To achieve this objective, we rely on two complementary theoretical perspectives.
