The effect of deer on woodland vegetation is reviewed, focusing processes that are likely to bring about changes in structure and composition. By browsing tree seedlings, shrubs climbers, tend reduce stem densities, limit height growth foliage density, creating a more open understorey. Light penetration the ground can be increased, providing plant cover close surface. Using results from 13 studies temperate woodlands, effects species richness diversity trees were analysed using general...
Following the influential Gifford and Reith lectures by Onora O’Neill, this paper explores further paradigm of individual autonomy which has been so dominant in bioethics until recently concurs that it is an aberrant application conceptions cannot provide a sufficient convincing starting point for ethics within medical practice. We suggest revision operational definition patient required twenty first century. follow O’Neill recommending principled version autonomy, us involves provision...

Abstract Deer ( Cervidae ) populations are increasing across the temperate zone, threatening forest biodiversity and ecosystem services. However, fundamental question of what factors make a susceptible to deer damage remains unanswered, hampering efforts mitigate against damage. Previous research has assumed that density consistently increases effect is likely be contingent on range other drivers, such as climate landscape structure. Mitigation measures expensive, so sound understanding...
The understanding and interpretation of the presumed secularization Britain other European nations is clouded by a lack adequate information regarding substance timing religious change. This paper represents first systematic effort to collect analyze existing survey data on belief in from late 1930s present. Overall, results show an increase general scepticism about existence God, related erosion dominant, traditional Christian beliefs, persistence nontraditional beliefs. A theoretical...

Relatively little information is available to indicate how the impacts of deer vary in relation densities encountered lowland environments Britain. Population and on advance regeneration were therefore assessed at 15 sites, embracing a range from 0 54.9 km−2 woodland 0–74.5 adjacent fields. Deer tended be higher sites with drier more fertile soils, relationship which may have arisen for either nutritional or management reasons. The log seedling density was negatively correlated density,...
Wild boar and feral swine number range are increasing worldwide in parallel with their impact on biodiversity human activities. The ecological economic of this species include spread diseases, vehicle collisions, damage to crops, amenities infrastructures reduction plant animal abundance richness. As traditional methods such as culling have not contained the growth wild pigs, alternative fertility control now advocated. We used empirical data two isolated populations model compare effects...
The reliability of deer population management could be improved with good density estimates, but current methods are either labour-intensive or suffer from uncertainties regarding accuracy. Visibility varies substantially in forests depending on stand type, age and understorey vegetation. In such conditions distance sampling would an efficient estimation method, observer disturbance often results bias when the method is applied to deer. performance thermal imaging for estimating by was...
Populations of wild boar and feral pigs are increasing worldwide, in parallel with their significant environmental economic impact. Reliable methods monitoring trends estimating abundance needed to measure the effects interventions on population size. The main aims this study, carried out five English woodlands were: (i) compare indices obtained from camera trap surveys activity signs; (ii) assess precision density estimates relation different densities traps. For each woodland, we...
