‘The most advanced outpost of cultivation’: palynological evidence for cereal agriculture and population resilience in a marginal upland environment

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upland farming in Europe is frequently assumed to have been limited and precarious, despite relict spade‐dug ridges providing firm evidence of past crop growing. Direct evidence for crop types in post‑Medieval to Modern (~since 1500 CE) uplands is rare; yet, in Ireland, relict spade‐dug ridges that date to this period are commonly interpreted ...

Bayesian multi‐state mark‐resight modeling of survival and cause‐specific mortality from telemetered individuals: European fallow deer in Australia

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We illustrate how a Bayesian multi‐state mark‐resight (MSMR) modeling approach can be used to estimate survival and cause‐specific mortality probabilities of GPS‐collared European fallow deer in southeastern Australia. Our case study illustrates the flexibility of Bayesian MSMR models for incorporating imperfect detection probability (arising from ...

Let's Talk About Bone Cylinders. Taphonomy of Carnivores and Humans

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTBone cylinders are a distinctive structure predominantly produced by durophagous carnivoran species during the consumption of long bones, in which the diaphyseal canal remains intact while both epiphyses are removed or consumed. This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena ...

Breeding with resistant rams leads to rapid control of classical scrapie in affected sheep flocks [PDF]

, 2011
Susceptibility to scrapie, a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy in sheep, is modulated by the genetic make-up of the sheep. Scrapie control policies, based on selecting animals of resistant genotype for breeding, have recently been adopted by the ...

Human–wildlife coexistence and social context: Evidence from farmer communities in southern Sri Lanka

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies on human–wildlife interactions (HWI) often focus on conflict mitigation studies, thus overlooking underlying factors that influence community decisions to coexist with wildlife. To address this knowledge gap, we collected empirical evidence of how community interactions with wildlife are shaped by their social contexts.

Emotional costs and empathy are associated with tolerance towards wolves

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery and growing population of grey wolves (Canis lupus) in Germany has increased interactions with livestock owners. Ensuring the continued protection and survival of wolves requires understanding the socio‐psychological factors that shape people's tolerance towards coexisting with them.
