Weather Conditions Are Systematically Associated With Long-Range Nonroutine Movements in a Large Scavenger. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
As vultures rely on soaring flight, the interplay of solar radiation, as well as wind direction and strength, is crucial for both short‐ and long‐range movements. Under very weak wind conditions, Griffon Vultures restricted their movements in the areas around the colony, as exploring areas at the borders of their home range is more demanding ...

Big dairy data to unravel effects of environmental, physiological and morphological factors on milk production of mountain-pastured Braunvieh cows [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2020
The transhumance system, which consists in moving animals to high mountain pastures during summer, plays a considerable role in preserving both local biodiversity and traditions, as well as protecting against natural hazard.

The Triveneto transhumance: law, land, movement

, 2012
North Italy's nomadic shepherds are a phenomenon unique in the world. Their nomadic nature is taken to the extreme since they move constantly rather than solely in the winter or the summer, as in the usual nomadism.

Transhumance, Livestock Mobility and Mutual Benefits Between Crop and Livestock Production

, 2018
Grazing-based livestock production, named pastoralism, is classified into nomadism, transhumance and agro-pastoralism. Transhumance is characterised by the seasonal and recurring movement of livestock whereby seasonal grazing areas and routes for ...

The Decline and Revitalisation of Transhumance in the Valles Occidentales of Spain’s Aragonese Pyrenees

Nomadic Peoples
This case study of the decline and revitalisation of transhumance in the Valles Occidentales challenges the dominant narrative that transhumance is a practice of the past without present-day relevance and viability.

Faster growing and more functionally diverse: global change alters functional trait composition of mountain plant communities in the European Alps

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how global change reshapes mountain plant communities is essential for predicting biodiversity and ecosystem function in a warming world. Using resurvey data from over 1400 non‐forest vegetation plots across the European Alps, we show that community‐weighted means of key functional traits capturing important dimensions of plant ecological

Bridging the gap between science, policy and stakeholders: Towards sustainable wolf–livestock coexistence in human‐dominated landscapes

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract While the return of wolves (Canis lupus) to many European countries is a conservation milestone, the negative impacts are unevenly distributed across society, placing high pressure on livestock grazing systems. For this perspective, scientists from diverse disciplines and geographical backgrounds reflect on the state of livestock–wolf ...

Physiological and productive response of lactating dairy cows to the alpine transhumance at the end of the summer grazing*

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2016
The study aimed at verifying if the prolonged walking and fasting of the driving down transhumance from an alpine pasture to the farm of origin at the end of the summer grazing may impair health and productive response of lactating cows belonging to two ...

Connaissance locale des pratiques de la transhumance dans la zone soudano-sahélienne du Mali

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2016
Les études sur la transhumance ont souvent ciblé les pasteurs – notamment peuls – des zones sahéliennes. Pour en donner une autre perspective, la pré­sente étude a été centrée sur les pratiques de la transhumance dans la zone sou­dano-sahélienne du Mali
