ABSTRACT In agriculture, production technologies are often characterised by non‐linearities and stochastic dependence between outputs, particularly between desirable and undesirable outputs. This paper combines the copula‐based semi‐parametric framework for modelling heterogeneou...

Specialized dairy farms have a high workload, with most of their labor resources devoted to livestock-related tasks. The feasibility of reducing pesticide use is influenced by work dimensions. Using a discrete choice experiment, we assessed trade-offs among determinants that can...

Heatwaves and cold snaps alter host-parasite population dynamics
Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of temperature extremes, yet the consequences of heatwaves and cold snaps for host-parasite interactions remain incompletely understood.Thermal pulses of ±6°C were experimentally tested to determine how disease dynamics are...

Soil biodiversity indicators are increasingly used to inform environmental assessment and policy, yet their robustness is often constrained by heterogeneous sampling designs and imperfect species detection. Surface-active arthropods, such as ground beetles (Carabidae), are widely...
