Conserving Rodent Pests in Transition Toward Endangered Status

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodent control invariably takes place in the context of ecosystems heavily modified by agriculture. Together, they are potent drivers of rodent decline and endangerment. Nineteen percent of 2349 rodent species evaluated in the IUCN Red List of threatened species are of some conservation concern.

Benjamin Robins's New Principles of Gunnery and the Response From the British Mathematical, Educational, and Military World of the Mid‐Eighteenth Century

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article analyses to what degree Benjamin Robins's discoveries in his book New Principles of Gunnery, 1742, affected the British mathematical, military, and educational world of the mid‐eighteenth century. While it drew praise and critique from Europe, especially from the notable mathematician Leonhard Euler, his mathematical theories were

The principle of civilian immunity from deliberate attack in war is a core element of contemporary international humanitarian law (IHL). Uniformed combatants and others who take up arms pose a threat may be liable to be

Adaptive Release of Natural Enemies in a Pest-Natural Enemy System with Pesticide Resistance

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2013
Integrated pest management options such as combining chemical and biological control are optimal for combating pesticide resistance, but pose questions if a pest is to be controlled to extinction. These questions include (i) what is the relationship between the evolution of pesticide resistance and the number of natural enemies released?
