Novel insights into the cognitive, emotional, and experiential dimensions of stakeholder acceptance of wildlife management.

Understanding wildlife stakeholders is vital in mitigating the risk for inertia in the implementation of management and illegal activities, e.g., poaching.

Publics in local media reporting on harm reduction: Rightfully worried local witnesses or uneducated obstacles to change.

Background: In 2018, the planned opening of a second Needle and Syringe Exchange Program (NSP) unit in Stockholm, Sweden, was stopped with reference to protests from the public. Local Stockholm media cited stakeholders who claimed that the initiative was led by politicians with "zero knowledge about what makes citizens upset" and referred to reported public concern over a preschool located near the planned NSP unit. This case highlights the significant role of the public - and the idea of public opinion - in relation to political and medial aspects of alcohol and other drug (AOD) issues.

Migratory birds modulate niche tradeoffs in rhythm with seasons and life history.

Movement is a key means by which animals cope with variable environments. As they move, animals construct individual niches composed of the environmental conditions they experience. Niche axes may vary over time and covary with one another as animals make tradeoffs between competing needs.

How effective are interventions to reduce damage to agricultural crops from herbivorous wild birds and mammals? A systematic review protocol.

Background: An important conservation challenge is to mitigate negative impacts that wild birds and mammals can have on human practices and livelihoods, and not least on agricultural crops. Technical interventions to limit the number and severity of damages are available, but evaluations of intervention effectiveness are usually limited in scope, and meta-analyses are rare. This protocol describes a systematic review that seeks to answer the following question: How effective are evaluated interventions in reducing damage from herbivorous wild birds and mammals on agricultural crops?

Methods: The literature searches are made in the databases Scopus and Zoological Record.

Polyphonic narratives: The mixing of Alcoholics Anonymous and relapse prevention in stories about recovery and relapse.

This exploratory study analyses the interplay between the treatment philosophies of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Relapse Prevention (RP) in personal stories of addiction. While the basic ideas of AA and RP are compatible in many ways, they also carry some fundamental differences. The data consisted of interviews with 12 individuals recovering from substance use problems, who had experience of both AA and RP.
