Differences among domestic chicken breeds in tonic immobility responses as a measure of fearfulness
Tiemann, Inga; Becker, Senta; Fournier, Jocelyn; Damiran, Daalkhaijav; Büscher, Wolfgang; Hillemacher, Sonja (2023-04-04)Background: One priority for animal welfare is for animals to experience less fear, especially during human contact. For domestic animals, breeds that are less fearful may provide genetic resources to develop strains with ... -
Triggering cognitive dissonance with textual information and images: Data from three experiments with meat-eaters
Weingarten, Nina; Lagerkvist, Carl-Johan; Meraner, Manuela; Hartmann, Monika (2023-04-05)This article presents data from three experiments in which we triggered and measured cognitive dissonance in meat-eaters. Cognitive dissonance is a well-established concept in the social psychology literature; however, ... -
Rural livelihoods, community-based conservation, and human–wildlife conflict: Scope for synergies?
Meyer, Maximilian; Börner, Jan (2022-08-01)Halting biodiversity loss is a major contemporary challenge. Nature protection can help conserve biodiversity, but increasing wildlife numbers inside protected areas and shrinking habitats intensify interactions between ... -
Vegetation diversity in East African wetlands: Cocktail algorithms supported by a vegetation-plot database
Behn, Kai; Alvarez, Miguel; Mutebi, Samuel; Becker, Mathias (2022-12-08)Aims: Wetlands in East Africa are important ecosystems for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service provisioning, yet threatened by degradation and conversion into croplands. Conservation and land use management ... -
Unusually warm winter seasons may compromise the performance of current phenology models: Predicting bloom dates in young apple trees with PhenoFlex
Fernandez, Eduardo; Schiffers, Katja; Urbach, Carsten; Luedeling, Eike (2022-07-15)Phenology models are crucial tools for assessing climate change impacts in forestry, ecology and agriculture. Such models are typically calibrated with observational or experimental data and validated with a set of independent ... -
The governance of plant breeding - a social-ecological systems perspective
Gerullis, Maria Katharina (2023-04-13)Climate change and social conflicts put modern agricultural systems under pressure, necessitating systemic transformations of these systems towards sustainability. At the core of these sustainability challenges to agriculture ... -
Nutrient elements in micro- to nanosized fractions: occurrence, transport, and plant uptake in agroecosystems
Jia, Yunsheng (2023-04-04)As phosphorus (P) is a non-substitutable nutrient for all organisms and thus pivotal in supporting crop productivity, limited and unevenly distributed phosphate rocks drive research concerns on substituted P fertilizers ... -
Jumping on the Bandwagon of Responsibility – Or Not?: Consumers' Perceived Role in the Meat Sector
Klink-Lehmann, Jeanette; Langen, Nina; Simons, Johannes; Hartmann, Monika (2022-05-21)It is evident that sustainable meat consumption and production require shared responsibility for actions and consequences by consumers and producers. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the relevant focus areas within ... -
COVID-19 and changes in global agri-food trade
Engemann, Helena; Jafari, Yaghoob (2022-04-09)COVID-19 has raised questions about the resilience of agri-food trade to global shocks to the system. This paper analyses the changes in agri-food trade (values, extensive and intensive margin, and diversification) during ... -
