Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Seasonal variation in faecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations of two dominant southern African murids (Lemniscomys rosalia and Mastomys coucha) across variously transformed landscapes

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Global landscape transformations are a result of a growing human population and the subsequent increased use of natural habitats. Local species extinctions across various transformed landscapes emphasise the importance of monitoring wildlife responses to anthropogenic activities.

Evaluation of factors affecting greater prairie‐chicken nest and brood survival

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Greater prairie‐chickens Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus in the Flint Hills ecoregion select recently burned grasslands for brooding and nest in areas that have been unburned for 1–3 years, suggesting the need for a mosaic of burn patches. However, it is unknown how patch area, configuration, and proximity to edges within such mosaics affect reproductive ...

Economic Analysis of Infrastructure Investment and Break‐Even Carbon Prices for Low‐Water, Low‐Emission Farming Techniques in Vietnam

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excessive water use in rice production is a major source of methane emissions, the dominant greenhouse gas from Vietnam's agricultural sector. Improving water‐use efficiency can enhance water security and reduce emissions, but achieving these gains requires substantial changes in farming practices and significant investment in supporting ...

Does Chemical Use Mitigate or Exacerbate Production Risk? Evidence From Conventional Maize Farms in Northern Italy

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationships between chemical use, namely fertilisers and pesticides, and the production risk of conventional maize in Northern Italy. Using data from the Italian Farm Accountancy Data Network for the period 2015–2020, merged with a station‐based weather dataset, we analyse the production risk through moments of farm ...

Reflections on Adoption of New Agricultural Practices

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on adoption of new practices, technologies and systems in agriculture has generated thousands of publications over the past 70 years, covering uptake of agricultural practices spanning more than 100 years. This paper contains selected key lessons from the results of this enormous research effort, drawn from numerous reviews of the ...

Drivers of Mouse Plagues: Exceptional Rainfall Following Prolonged Drought Triggers Mouse Plagues in Southeastern Australia

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study identified a specific sequence of an extended drought followed by exceptional rainfall as a necessary precursor for mouse plagues in southeastern Australia. Long‐term rainfall anomalies interact with ecological processes to reset population dynamics, creating conditions that support rapid mouse population growth following periods of ...
