Synthetic Imagery Improves Ecological Classification When Real Data Are Scarce, Not Direct Substitutes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Image generation models can create synthetic ecological datasets and potentially alleviate limitations from sparse real data. Using 20 tree genera across community‐science and street‐view imagery, we tested whether synthetic images could replace or supplement real data for image classification.

How Aware Are Consumers of Water Used in Agri‐Food Products? Exploring the Misconception Between the Perceived and the Actual Water Footprint

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the environmental impact of food production is critical to promoting sustainable consumption patterns. This study explores the gap between consumers' perceived water footprint (PWF) and the actual water footprint (AWF) of selected agri‐food products in Italy, including crop‐ and animal‐based products. A survey conducted through a

Probing the Energy Trilemma Pillars: Do Innovation Pathways Deliver Cleaner and More Equitable Energy Systems?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing reliable energy supply, equitable access, and environmental sustainability is a central challenge of the global energy transition. This study examines how innovation influences the energy trilemma by shaping energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability across 115 countries from 2011 to 2023.

Cost Behavior of Organic Versus Conventional Farms: Assessing Economic Resilience and the Ecological Dividend

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study empirically examines the cost behavior in organic versus conventional farming to assess economic resilience. Using Spanish FADN data (2015–2021), results show organic farms exhibit higher cost elasticity during output increases and lower elasticity during decreases.

The Greek Olive Oil Market Structure [PDF]

Food product differentiation leads to significant price variations among the same products, meaning that specific products can be sold in higher prices. An Hedonic Price analysis is adopted to investigate the influence of food differentiation on consumer

Biology, ecology, and conservation of the Italian hare Lepus corsicanus: a review

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The Italian hare Lepus corsicanus, an endemic lagomorph of Italy, serves as a critical case study in evolutionary biology and conservation. Once taxonomically debated, modern genetic and morphological analyses confirm its status as a distinct Pleistocene lineage restricted to the central‐southern Italian Peninsula and Sicily.

Adjusting Our Thinking About Feeding Animals: Fiber as the Metric for Mimicking Natural Diets

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
A typical effect of the change of an animal group to a diet higher in fiber: juveniles keep growing, animals of ideal body weight maintain their weight, and obese individuals lose weight. ABSTRACT Free‐ranging animals often ingest markedly different diets than their counterparts under human care, whether companion animals, production animals, or zoo ...

Chemical treatments in order to increase fruit-set on three olive cultivars.

, 2018
Lack of sufficient fruit-set and consequent irregular yield is a common problem of many olive cultivars like ‘Bosana’, ‘Nera di Gonnos’ and ‘Semidana’, which are among the most important olive cultivars in Sardinia Island (Italy).

Urban oases relax desiccation risk for an arid‐adapted lizard

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Urbanization from expanding human development has radically altered the structure, ecology and microclimate of landscapes worldwide. These dramatic environmental alterations subject organisms to novel ecological conditions and may select for distinct ecophysiological ...

The Big Picture: Religion and Global Comparative History

Journal of Religious History, EarlyView.
This article considers what a ‘big picture’ approach to global religious history might look like, and in particular the implications of deploying the comparative method across much larger stretches of time and space than historians normally attend to. It will begin by reflecting on the epistemological moods that have hindered this project to date, the ...
