Glucocorticoids in relation to behavior, morphology, and physiology as proxy indicators for the assessment of animal welfare: A systematic mapping review
(2023-01-06)
Translating theoretical concepts of animal welfare into quantitative assessment protocols is an ongoing challenge. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are frequently used as physiological measure in welfare assessment. The interpretation ...
Triggering cognitive dissonance with textual information and images: Data from three experiments with meat-eaters
(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, ...

The effectiveness and efficiency of forest conservation policies to reduce deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon
(2023-01-23)
Between 2015 and 2020, 9.3 million hectares of tropical forests were annually deforested. Deforestation represents the second largest source of carbon emissions globally, reduces biodiversity and ecosystem services, and ...
Improvement of Piglet Rearing's Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Using Air-to-Air Heat Exchangers: A Two-Year Case Study
(2023-02-11)
Pig farming in mechanically ventilated barns requires much electricity for ventilation or
exhaust air purification. Furthermore, thermal energy is needed to fulfill the animals’ temperature
requirements, especially in ...
Differences among domestic chicken breeds in tonic immobility responses as a measure of fearfulness
(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 ...
Soil Erosion under Spatially Heterogeneous Field Conditions: Experimental Analysis and Dynamic Modeling
(2023-06-28)
Soil erosion is a significant problem for most of the agroecosystems worldwide, as it is one of the primary causes of soil degradation caused by a loss of the topsoil layer. Most of the existing soil erosion models provide ...
