Abstract Grazing livestock are potential prey of large carnivores. Effective livestock protection measures are considered essential for the sustainable coexistence of large carnivores and pastoral farming. Therefore, understanding the drivers of livestock farmers' intention to implement protection measures is indispensable, for example, in view of ...

OPTIMAL PEST CONTROL IN FLORICULTURE PRODUCTION OF ORNAMENTAL CROPS [PDF]
We develop a conceptual bioeconomic model of floriculture production, wherein optimal decision rules depend on an intertemporal economic objective to maximize profits subject to economic and biological processes.

A Holling-Tanner predator-prey model with strong Allee effect
We analyse a modified Holling-Tanner predator-prey model where the predation functional response is of Holling type II and we incorporate a strong Allee effect associated with the prey species production.

Nature's Shield: Exploring Nonglandular Trichomes (NGT) as Key Players in Plant Defense Mechanisms
ABSTRACT Trichomes are found on almost all terrestrial plants and are derived from epidermal cells. Nonglandular trichomes (NGTs) protect plants from environmental stress, such as pest and pathogen invasion, reduce water loss, and increase resistance to abiotic stressors, including UV radiation, cold, and extreme temperatures.

Structural similarities reveal an expansive conotoxin family with a two‐finger toxin fold
Abstract Venomous animals have evolved a diverse repertoire of toxins with considerable pharmaceutical potential. The rapid evolution of peptide toxins, such as the conotoxins produced by venomous marine cone snails, often complicates efforts to infer their evolutionary relationships based solely on sequence information.

The evolution of sensitive periods beyond early ontogeny: Bridging theory and data
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sensitive periods, in which experiences have a large impact on phenotypic development, are most common early in ontogeny. Yet, they may also occur at later ontogenetic stages, such as adolescence.
