Illegal hunting threatens the establishment of a lynx population and highlights the need of a centralized judiciary approach

The paper investigates the impact of illegal hunting on lynx populations in Valais, Switzerland, and finds that poaching, not environmental factors, explains the low population density.

Grassland irrigation and fertilisation alter vegetation height and vegetation within temperature and negatively affect orthopteran populations

This study shows that intensifying grassland management through irrigation and fertilization reduces orthopteran populations, particularly Caelifera, while increasing vegetation height and cooling microclimates.
