Planning Crop–Livestock Integration With Social Norms: A Bio‐Economic Model Balancing Circularity and Farmer Welfare

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regional crop‐livestock integration can reduce dependence on external inputs and improve circularity, but its implementation requires coordination across heterogeneous farms and may generate uneven welfare losses due to technical, economic and behavioural factors, including social norms and peer effects.

Comparative Satellitomics in Arowanas (Telostei, Osteoglossiformes) Sheds Light on the Evolution of Ancient Satellite DNAs

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This work focused on arowana fishes (Teleostei, Osteoglossiformes) as a model; their widespread intercontinental distribution and basal phylogenetic position within Teleostei make them a compelling model for evolutionary research, especially in the realm of satDNA molecular evolution. Through the integration of genomic and chromosomal data, we analyzed

Living Low and Dry: Costs of and Resilience to Soil Hydric Stress in a Fossorial Amphisbaenian Reptile

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil drought imposes moderate, temporary costs on a strictly fossorial amphisbaenian reptile. However, these animals seem to cope with, at least, moderately short droughts thanks to their peculiar adaptations to living in an underground environment. ABSTRACT The physiological traits of animals can be strongly influenced by climatic fluctuations, and ...

Disentangling Multitrophic Interactions: How Vegetation Cover, Wild Boar, Deer, and Predators Shape Rodents Activity and Acorn Dispersal

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Vegetation cover promotes rodent activity and acorn dispersal, while wild boars exert a direct negative effect on mice. Conversely, deer and predators displayed no significant impact on rodent behavior. These results identify wild boars as the main disruptors of rodent‐mediated forest regeneration.

LSD-SMOTE: Latent Semantics Disentangle SMOTE for Imbalanced Data Over-sampling

open access: yes
Class imbalance is a pervasive and challenging issue in machine learning and data mining, where standard classifiers lean heavily toward the majority class. Although the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) is widely used to mitigate this problem, generating synthetic samples directly in the original high-dimensional feature space often ...

How Due Diligence Transforms Private Sustainability Governance: The Case of the Global Organic Textile Standard

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Growing awareness of social and environmental risks in global supply chains has driven a shift from voluntary corporate responsibility toward mandatory due diligence legislation. These emerging regulatory frameworks require businesses to identify, prevent, and mitigate adverse human rights and environmental impacts, thereby redefining the ...
