Agricultural Vulnerability Assessment: Climate and Non‐Climate Interactions in Crop Production Systems

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent climate phenomena show that Spain is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change impacts, with varied regional effects from flash floods to drought. This study assesses the vulnerability of four major crops (cereal, rice, grape and olive) in Catalonia to climate change through a comprehensive vulnerability index incorporating

Comparative Efficiency of eDNA, Camera Traps and Scat Surveys to Detect a Semi‐Aquatic Mammal Across Multiple Catchments

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Monitoring semi‐aquatic mammals is essential for their conservation, but it is made difficult by their elusive lifestyle and generally low abundance. Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) monitoring has traditionally relied on scat surveys, but eDNA and camera‐trapping are emerging as promising alternatives.
