Losers and winners: responses of grassland arthropods to land‐use components

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Intensified land‐use in grasslands reduces biodiversity, particularly affecting arthropod populations. However, responses of individual species vary depending on their ecological traits and habitat requirements. Some species may tolerate or even benefit from intensive land‐use, while others, particularly specialists or those with narrow niches, are ...

A review of high nature value farming systems in Europe: Biodiversity, ecosystem services, drivers, innovations and future prospects

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Farming systems of high natural and cultural value represent approximately 30% of farmlands in the European Union and are associated with a high species and habitat diversity and/or the presence of species of European conservation concern. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem ...

Silage review: Interpretation of chemical, microbial, and organoleptic components of silages

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2018
The goal of making silage is to produce a stable feed with a high recovery of dry matter, energy, and highly digestible nutrients compared with the fresh crop. Microbial fermentation in the silo produces an array of end products and can change many nutritive aspects of a forage.

A holistic approach to colostrum management: Enrichment of maternal colostrum combined with extended colostrum feeding as control measures for bovine rotavirus‐associated neonatal calf diarrhoea

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Bovine rotavirus A (BRV‐A) genotype G6P11 was identified as a cause of neonatal calf diarrhoea (NCD) in a 600‐cow autumn block calving herd. Dry cows were vaccinated prior to calving. Calf faecal sample (n = 6) microbiology from calves 8‒21 days of age identified BRV‐A.

Silage review: Safety considerations during silage making and feeding [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2018
Silage-related injury knows no age boundary as workers and bystanders of all ages have been killed in silage accidents. Even the best employee can become frustrated with malfunctioning equipment and poor weather conditions and take a hazardous shortcut, or misjudge a situation and take a risky action.

Navigating a landscape of contrasting hunting regimes and habitats: red deer responses to risk and resources

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Habitat selection of ungulates is influenced by various factors, with human interactions playing a significant role. Human disturbances through hunting strongly affect ungulate behaviour, often forcing them to modify their habitat choices by avoiding areas where the risk from humans outweighs other habitat benefits. Gaining insights into these dynamics
