Proximity to bait and social interactions influence individual wild pig (Sus scrofa) visitation at bait sites

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Individual wild pig bait site visitation and time to initial detection is primarily influenced by space use (i.e., proximity to bait) and whether wild pigs from other social groups visited before. Specifically, females are less likely to visit a bait site if an adult male visits a site before them.

Application of Principal Component Analysis and Probabilistic Neural Networks in Ferralsols Recovery Evaluation Through Planting of Mabea Fistulifera and Eucalyptus Urograndis

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents an innovative assessment model for analyzing the evolution of degraded soils subjected to different reclamation strategies. The proposal combines statistical and artificial intelligence tools to jointly integrate multiple physical and chemical soil properties, allowing for a more synthetic view of the processes.

Vegetation Structure and Diversity Under Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration: A Comparison of Silvo‐Arable and Silvo‐Pastoral Systems in Kenya

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) is a low‐cost, adaptable agroforestry practice that enhances land restoration by promoting systematic integration of naturally regenerating trees within farming systems through tree selection and management.

Synergistic Effects of Salinization and Artificial Root Exudates on Soil Phosphatase Activity in Coastal Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coastal soil salinization from rising seawater levels has adverse impacts on soil function, seed germination, and plant growth. Root exudates play a key role in supporting microbial activity, nutrient cycling, and plant health, yet little is known about the combined effects of salinization and the addition of artificial root exudates (AREs) on

Social Determinants of Spinal Pathology in Adolescents From Urban Centers in the Post‐Medieval Netherlands (1650–1850 CE)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The study of trauma in individuals undergoing growth and development remains an understudied area of research but can provide unique insights into the lived experiences and social identities of young people in the past. This study examines vertebral compression fractures and Schmorl's nodes in children and adolescents (1–20 years at death ...

Functional diversity in agricultural landscapes: evidence of long‐term clustering and multi‐scale effects of land use on avian communities

Oikos, EarlyView.
Functional diversity (FD) is an essential community property connecting biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and conservation objectives. In agricultural landscapes, avian communities, which play key functional roles, are facing large‐scale biodiversity erosion, largely due to land‐use changes.

Ingenuity, diversity, vision and adaptability of farmers producing timber and NTFP in western Cameroon [PDF]

, 2011
Most development workers, involved in farm forestry in southern countries, act on the basis of paradigms such as: ?poor farmers only consider the short-term production, their traditional agroforestry systems are immutable or being abandoned, we can offer

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.
