The Dairy Ruminant Gut Microbiome: Profile, Responsiveness to Seasonality and Impact on Milk Quality

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2026.
The dairy ruminant gut microbiome that is shaped by host and diet is affected by seasonality and rearing. These factors can impact dairy productivity and milk quality potentially through the gut microbiota. ABSTRACT The gut microbiome (GM) and particularly the rumen microbiome (RM) affect the ruminant health and they are associated with milk quality ...

State‐and‐transition simulation models: How can we use them to assess ecosystem condition and support nature markets

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1359-1375, May 2026.
Abstract The world is experiencing a biodiversity crisis. Steep declines in habitat quality and ecosystem services have resulted in interest in markets to help fund ecological restoration. One way that ecological restoration is assessed is through indicators of ecosystem condition, namely, a measurement of how different a landscape is from its ...

Efficiency of Spatial Subsidies Under Information Constraints: A Case Study

open access: yesAgricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study compares the efficiency of homogeneous versus spatially heterogeneous subsidies in developing agricultural plans compatible with bird sustainability. Using the plains of Lleida as a case study—where incentives for agricultural intensification threaten a bird community‐we employ a spatially explicit model that simulates crop yields ...

Vulnerability and Adaptations to Climate Change in EU Protected Areas: A Natura 2000 Managers’ perspective

open access: yesConservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Natura 2000 (N2K)—Europe's network of protected areas—is a key conservation instrument, but its effectiveness is challenged by climate change. We surveyed 382 N2K managers to investigate their perceptions of climate change and related site adaptation strategies.

The caliph and the falcons: a ninth‐century history from Iceland to Iraq
