Evaluation of drone system for thinning operations–a case study in Sweden

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Thinning operations in forestry typically involve a two‐machine system (TMS) with a harvester and a forwarder. Its productivity in different forest conditions is well documented. To date, drones have been used for data collection and surveillance but not as an alternative to a TMS.

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Analysing the Ecological Requirements of the Australian Tortoise Beetle Trachymela sloanei (Blackburn, 1897) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) to Determine the Prospects for Its Invasion Process

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invasive species pose a serious threat to biodiversity and result in significant economic costs. Although much effort is devoted to understanding invasive processes, some aspects are poorly understood, such as the early stages of invasions and the reasons for invasion failure.

Co‐Design at the Boundary: Understanding the Dynamics of Open Innovation Between Companies and Communities

Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For over two decades, firms have built platforms and engaged open innovation communities to improve and customize their products through widened participation in the design process. While the benefits of involving those outside a firm as co‐designers have been well described, how co‐design processes unfold over time at the boundary between ...

Pharmacokinetics of Moxidectin in Bare‐Nosed Wombats (Vombatus ursinus) After Intravenous, Sub‐Cutaneous and Transdermal Administration

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The anti‐parasitic drug moxidectin is a frontline treatment for sarcoptic mange in bare‐nosed wombats (Vombatus ursinus), a disease causing significant animal welfare issues and instances of local population declines. Despite widespread usage, knowledge of species‐specific pharmacokinetics of moxidectin in bare‐nosed wombats is still limited ...

The Form of Agency

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.
