Investigating conservation performance payments alongside human–wildlife conflicts: The Swedish lynx and wolverine protection policies

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation performance payments are becoming an increasingly popular instrument to tackle human–wildlife conflicts. In Sweden, Sámi communities practicing reindeer husbandry receive performance payments as compensation for reindeer losses caused by lynxes and wolverines.

Explicit expressions and integral representations for the Stirling numbers. A probabilistic approach

open access: yesAdvances in Difference Equations, 2019
We show that the Stirling numbers of the first and second kind can be represented in terms of moments of appropriate random variables. This allows us to obtain, in a unified way, a variety of old and new explicit expressions and integral representations ...

Tree planting, natural colonisation, hybrid approaches: Land manager decisions explored

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a global drive to protect biodiversity and help combat climate change. In the UK, this is expressed in a number of policy initiatives and tools that include increasing tree cover as an important nature‐based solution to achieving national policy targets.

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to

Coping with climate emotions: A qualitative study using interviews and letters in remote, rural and small communities across Canada

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The consequences of climate change are becoming more severe and widespread, highlighting the growing need to understand and address the emotional dimensions of the climate crisis. Although research on climate emotions has grown substantially over the past decade, empirical work on how people are coping with climate emotions is very limited ...

Probabilistic multi-Stirling numbers of the second kind associated with random variables

open access: yesApplied Mathematics in Science and Engineering

Delousing performance of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) and lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus): seasonal consistency and the challenge of cryptic lice for lumpfish

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ballan wrasse and lumpfish effectively reduce sea lice on salmon year round, although lumpfish struggle with cryptic lice, highlighting new considerations for lice management. Abstract BACKGROUND Cleaner fish play a crucial role in controlling caligid sea lice in Atlantic salmon aquaculture across the North Atlantic.

Space‐Efficient Logical Qubit Architecture with a Bus for Magic State Consumption

open access: yesAdvanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper proposes a logical qubit architecture, considering the consumption of magic states. By constructing the patch to the magic state using the repetition code and data qubits using the surface code, the proposed architecture minimizes the number of qubits, referred to as the space cost.
