Ecology and vector control.

Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 2010
One of the primary functions of ecological work is to conduct surveys of those species of vertebrates and/or invertebrates that are involved directly or indirectly in vector-borne diseases of man. The aim in southern Africa has been to contribute to a stable nomenclature at the species level, to determine the range of each species and to make an ...

Climate Change Mitigation in the Dairy Sector: Uncovering Heterogeneity Through Eco‐Efficiency Clubs

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Combining climate change goals with economic targets is crucial for the dairy sector, which is a significant contributor to agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. In this paper, we assess economic and climate change implications of dairy production with panel data of Irish dairy farms from 2013 to 2021.
