Differentiated Impacts of EU Rural Development Measures: A Finite Mixture Evaluation of Italian Olive Farms

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between participation in the EU Rural Development Program and the economic performance of Italian olive farms using a finite‐mixture model with inverse‐probability‐weighted regression adjustment. Based on 2010–2022 FADN panel data, it estimates heterogeneous treatment effects while correcting for selection ...

Habitat connectivity modeling for urban conservation planning: A case study of pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) in Hamilton County, Ohio, USA

Ecological Indicators
Urban forests provide vital wildlife habitats, but as urbanization intensifies and tree resources dwindle, these habitats are becoming more limited and fragmented.

EcoTRADE : Investigating the suitability of tradable permits for biodiversity conservation in changing landscapes [PDF]

, 2008
Habitat restoration has been employed in the context of ecological compensation, to offset negative impacts on ecosystems as a result of development projects.

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Mapping for coral reef conservation: comparing the value of participatory and remote sensing approaches

Ecosphere, 2016
Detailed habitat maps are critical for conservation planning, yet for many coastal habitats only coarse‐resolution maps are available. As the logistic and technological constraints of habitat mapping become increasingly tractable, habitat map comparisons

Mapping habitat suitability at range‐wide scales: Spatially‐explicit distribution models to inform conservation and research for marsh birds

Conservation Science and Practice, 2020
Habitat loss is a primary cause of species decline, and predicting the distribution of quality habitats across broad scales is needed for conservation of rare species.

Conservation of Insect Diversity: a Habitat Approach

Conservation Biology, 2000
Abstract: Neither time nor resources exist to design conservation plans for every species, particularly for little‐studied, noncharismatic, but ecologically important taxa that make up most of biodiversity. To explore the feasibility of basing conservation action on community‐level biogeography, we sampled a ...

Diatom‐Inspired 1D Immobile Robots Capable of 2D Collective Mobility

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a diatom‐inspired robotic system that explores group coordination through limited physical interactions. The researchers tune groups of Barbots, simple robotic agents that possess neither individual mobility nor explicit communication capabilities, to achieve complex and adaptive collaboration based on environmental light.

Expert-based and correlative models to map habitat quality: Which gives better support to conservation planning?

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2018
Biodiversity loss and habitat degradation are big challenges to be tackled by conservation planning since their effects on both ecological and social-economic systems are remarkably detrimental.

Garden and landscape-scale correlates of moths of differing conservation status: significant effects of urbanization and habitat diversity [PDF]

, 2014
Moths are abundant and ubiquitous in vegetated terrestrial environments and are pollinators, important herbivores of wild plants, and food for birds, bats and rodents.
