Stalking (deer hunting) is an important land use and activity in the Scottish Highlands, and deer managers have traditionally maintained large numbers of female deer in order to supply a guaranteed number of stags for ...
The range of red deer populations in the Scottish Highlands can cover several different landholdings (estates), many of which derive their income primarily from the private hunting (stalking) of stags. The deer belong to ...
1. This study examines the prospects for changes in deer management which meet the needs of both the stalking fraternity and conservationists.
2. We approach the problem from a less familiar angle, namely that of the needs ...

An increasing number of international agreements require “nondiscrimination”
from their participants, i.e. the government of one country cannot treat
foreign firms differently from domestic firms. This is at odds with a ...
Extant populations of Irish red grouse (Lagopus lagopus hibernicus) are both small and fragmented, and as such may have an increased risk of extinction through the effects of inbreeding depression and compromised adaptive ...
The origin of the experimentally observed band gap narrowing and red-shift of the adsorption edge of cubic In2O3 induced by C doping has been investigated using density functional theory calculations. We have compared the ...
Maintaining a clean water supply is one of the key challenges facing humanity today. Pollution, over-use and climate change are just some of the factors putting increased pressure on our limited water resources. Contamination ...
Effective DNA extraction methods from bird feathers have facilitated non-invasive sampling, leading to the suggestion that feathers are a great source for genetic studies. However, few studies have assessed whether all ...
β-Carotene and crocin bleaching reactions are the basis of two methods extensively used to quantify antioxidant and pro-oxidant activities. They are appropriate for lipophilic and hydrophilic matrices, respectively, and ...
Using a log-linearized approximation to an aggregate budget constraint, it is possible to show that the ratio of consumption to total (human and non-human) wealth summarizes agents' expectations concerning both future labor ...
