Effect of fumaric acid, calcium formate and mineral levels in diets on the intake and growth performance of newly weaned pigs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
peer-reviewedThe weaned pig has limited ability to acidify its stomach contents. The objective of this study (comprising three experiments) was to examine the effect of feeding diets containing fumaric acid (FA), calcium formate (CF) or diets of low ...

Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

Who is local and what do they know? Braiding knowledges within carnivore management in Europe

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Growing recognition of Indigenous Peoples and traditional local communities as stewards of biodiversity has brought to the fore the issues of knowledge and value pluralism in conservation policy and practice. Given their basis in practical and multi‐generational experience, Indigenous and local knowledges are highly relevant to managing human ...

Using participatory scenario planning to explore the synergies and trade‐offs from upland treescape expansion

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The future of land use in the UK uplands is highly debated, with growing interest in increasing tree cover and other land use changes, alongside a desire to maintain traditional land use patterns and practices. Treescape expansion is likely to result in synergies and trade‐offs between different outcomes, so integrating stakeholder preferences

Detecting social‐ecological fit in Natura 2000 governance and management: Evidence from LIFE projects focused on forest protected habitat types

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation ...

Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

The Noble Chafer and traditional orchards: Evaluating the role of indicator species in the conservation of cultural landscapes

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract England's traditional orchards are important habitats for a range of invertebrate species, providing biodiverse habitat for many species not found in other landscapes. Increased loss of these once common landscape features, exacerbated by changing land use, anthropogenic habitat fragmentation, and the loss of traditional or customary practices,

PTQ10‐based organic photodetectors for visible light detection and their tolerance to impurities

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
PTQ10‐based organic photodetectors were found to be very sensitive to the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 catalyst traces, impacting the transport properties and light detection capacities. Abstract PTQ10 donor polymer has attracted a lot of interest in organic optoelectronics, particularly in the field of organic photovoltaics, owing to its ease of synthesis ...
