Optimal Surveillance and Indemnity Policy for Eradicating Exotic Livestock Diseases

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present a theoretical model that identifies the optimal resource allocation between surveillance and intervention for eradicating exotic livestock diseases. We apply a game theory approach to analyse the strategic interaction between the Animal Health Authority (AHA) and the stockbreeders.

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...
