Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Where water meets rock: Ecological niches and diversity hotspots of hygropetric beetles in the Neotropics

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

Genomic Sequencing and Analysis of New Variants of Enzootic Nasal Tumour Virus Type 2 Revealed Recombination Events between Different Sublineages [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
The strains from sublineages 1.5 and 1.2 may be promoting the emergence of new strains of ENTV‐2 in China. Recombination drives ENTV‐2's rapid evolution . ABSTRACT In recent years, multiple regions in China have experienced an increase in the occurrence of enzootic nasal tumour virus type 2 (ENTV‐2) infections. This research highlights the initial full

Does an optimistic tone in annual reports predict better financial and non‐financial performance?

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract In the current paper, we investigate whether management adopts an optimistic disclosure tone to impress the corporate audience or to provide incremental information (II) by anticipating positive corporate performance. Specifically, we test whether an optimistic tone in annual reports (ARs) is a positive predictor of better financial and non ...
