Starving or Stuffing? Plasticity in Wild Boar Body Mass Variations During Summer in a Mediterranean Area

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Assessing drivers of population dynamics helps to mitigate human–wildlife conflicts. In Mediterranean areas, summer aridity reduces resources, potentially affecting ungulates' body condition and reproduction. In a mixed forested‐rural area, wild boar female body mass increased throughout summer in rainy‐mild years and decreased in hot‐dry years.

Love, Class‐Crossing Courtship, and the Reading of English Novels in Late Eighteenth‐Century Sweden

open access: yesJournal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how novel reading influenced the courtship practices of Pehr Stenberg, a peasant who became a clergyman. Stenberg wrote a detailed account of his life in which his courtships of high‐born women are described in detail. These courtships took place during a transformative time when the ideal that marriage should be based on

Peering into the world of wild passerines with 3D‐SOCS: Synchronized video capture and posture estimation

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Collection of large behavioural data‐sets on wild animals in natural habitats is vital in ecology and evolution studies. Recent progress in machine learning and computer vision, combined with inexpensive microcomputers, has unlocked a new frontier of fine‐scale markerless measurements.

Relationships Between European Wildcats and Domestic Cats in an Area of Sympatry: Exploring Key Conservation Questions on Hybridization and Disease Transmission

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We have found evidence of behavioural barriers for both hybridization and disease transmission between European wildcats and domestic cats. This includes hierarchical interspecies exclusion enforced by wildcats, as well as sexual selection exerted by wildcat females.

Effects of soil physical properties on dung beetle assemblages in pasture landscapes of the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assessed the effect of the type of soil texture (loamy sand and sandy loam) and its physical properties on dung beetle species assemblages in a pastureland region of the Brazilian Cerrado. We found a reduction in the total and paracoprid beetle abundances in loamy sand soil. Furthermore, the increase of soil compaction negatively affected the entire

Farm‐specific Adjustment Costs in Dutch Pig Farming

Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2004
This paper develops a dynamic model of investment under rational expectations, assuming farm‐specific production technologies and adjustment cost structures. The model distinguishes regimes of negative, zero and positive investments and maintains that it is optimal for a farmer not to invest for a range of shadow prices, depending on thresholds for ...

Ammonia concentration and recommended threshold values in pig farming: a review

2021 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Agriculture and Forestry (MetroAgriFor), 2021
Intensive pig farming is a source of ammonia, particulate matter and other pollutants as hydrogen sulfide, greenhouse gases, and odors. In particular, high concentrations of ammonia and particulate matter inside pig buildings cause a deterioration of air
