Understanding contingency in wolf‐mediated livestock predation across a mosaic of land uses: An agent‐based modelling approach

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The return of grey wolves to multi‐use landscapes in North America and Europe raises concerns over accompanying risks of livestock predation. While local‐level risk factors have received attention, it is difficult to explore the role that landscape‐scale variables, such as landscape connectivity, play in driving livestock losses.

Joint power control and user grouping mechanism for efficient uplink non‐orthogonal multiple access‐based 5G communication: Utilising the Lèvy‐flight firefly algorithm

IET Networks, EarlyView., 2023
We utilise a metaheuristic optimisation method, inspired by nature, called the Lévy‐flight firefly algorithm (LFA), to tackle the power regulation and user grouping in the NOMA systems. Abstract The non‐orthogonal multiple access strategies have shown promise to boost fifth generation and sixth generation wireless networks' spectral efficiency and ...

Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...

Mental health benefits of urban green—A systematic review and meta‐analysis of 56 pre‐post control experiments

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Background. Fostering healthy urban living conditions is a critical public health objective. One efficient approach lies in the contact to nature, as numerous studies have shown that urban and peri‐urban natural elements both indoors and outdoors carry a large potential in buffering typical urban threats to mental health.

The magnitude and economic replacement value of wild meat obtained from ‘recreational’ big game hunting in the United States

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.

Views from the hill: Deer stalkers' perspectives on land‐use change in the Scottish Highlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Land‐use and wildlife management are changing globally as part of efforts to address contemporary environmental challenges. In the Scottish Highlands, the hunting—or ‘stalking’—of deer has entered a period of considerable flux primarily because of national policy changes to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss.
