Periphery and Integrated Planning: Coping with Rural and Touristic Challenges a...
Mehnen, Nora; Mose, Inge; Schaal, Peter; Sijtsma, Frans; Muñoz-Rojas, José; Fedoriak, Mariia; Angelstam, PerRural landscapes face multiple challenges, but they can be attractive for developing nature-based tourism. Encouraging place-based participatory governance in local communities represents a relevant transdisciplinary landscape approach. In this study, we map (1) rural and touristic challenges and (2) coping strategies in peripheral–rural municipalities, and we (3) discuss the need for integration of local and r...
Spatial clusters of Varroa destructor control strategies in Europe
Brodschneider, Robert; Schlagbauer, Johannes; Arakelyan, Iliyana; Ballis, Alexis; Brus, Jan; Brusbardis, Valters; Cadahía, Luis; Charrière, Jean-DanielBeekeepers have various options to control the parasitic mite Varroa destructor in honey bee colonies, but no empirical data are available on the methods they apply in practice. We surveyed 28,409 beekeepers maintaining 507,641 colonies in 30 European countries concerning Varroa control methods. The set of 19 diferent Varroa diagnosis and control measures was taken from the annual COLOSS questionnaire on honey ...
Honey bee colony loss rates in 37 countries using the COLOSS survey for winter ...
Gray, Alison; Adjlane, Noureddine; Arab, Alireza; Ballis, Alexis; Brusbardis, Valters; Bugeja Douglas, Adrian; Cadahía, Luis; Charrière, Jean-DanielThis article presents managed honey bee colony loss rates over winter 2019/20 resulting from using the standardised COLOSS questionnaire in 37 countries. Six countries were from outside Europe, including, for the first time in this series of articles, New Zealand. The 30,491 beekeepers outside New Zealand reported 4.5% of colonies with unsolvable queen problems, 11.1% of colonies dead after winter and 2.6% lost...
Meeting places and social capital supporting rural landscape stewardship: A Pan...
Angelstam, Per; Fedoriak, Mariia; Cruz, Fátima; Muñoz-Rojas, José; Yalemynets, Taras; Manton, Michael; Washbourne, Carla-Leanne; Dobrynin, DenisAchieving sustainable development as an inclusive societal process in rural landscapes, and sustainability in terms of functional green infrastructures for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services, are wicked challenges. Competing claims from various sectors call for evidence-based adaptive collaborative governance. Leveraging such approaches requires maintenance of several forms of social interactions ...
Maintaining natural and traditional cultural green infrastructures across Europ...
Angelstam, Per; Manton, Michael; Yalmelynets, Taras; Fedoriak, Mariia; Albulescu, Andra-Cosmina; Bravo, Felipe; Cruz, Fátima; Jaroscewicz, BogdanContext Maintaining functional green infrastruc-tures (GIs) require evidence-based knowledge about historic and current states and trends of representative land cover types. Objectives We address: (1) the long-term loss and transformation of potential natural forest vegetation; (2) the effects of site productivity on permanent forest loss and emergence of traditional cultural landscapes; (3) the current managem...
Honey bee colony winter loss rates for 35 countries participating in the COLOSS...
Gray, Alison; Adjlane, Noureddine; Arab, Alireza; Ballis, Alexis; Brusbardis, Valters; Charrière, Jean-Daniel; Chlebo, Robert; Coffey, Mary F.This article presents managed honey bee colony loss rates over winter 2018/19 resulting from using the standardised COLOSS questionnaire in 35 countries (31 in Europe). In total, 28,629 beekeepers supplying valid loss data wintered 738,233 colonies, and reported 29,912 (4.1%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 4.0–4.1%) colonies with unsolvable queen problems, 79,146 (10.7%, 95% CI 10.5–10.9%) dead colonies after win...

Gray, Alison; Brodschneider, Robert; Adjlane, Noureddine; Ballis, Alexis; Brusbardis, Valters; Charrière, Jean-Daniel; Chlebo, Robert; F. Coffey, MaryThis short article presents loss rates of honey bee colonies over winter 2017/18 from 36 countries, including 33 in Europe, from data collected using the standardized COLOSS questionnaire. The 25,363 beekeepers supplying data passing consistency checks in total wintered 544,879 colonies, and reported 26,379 (4.8%, 95% CI 4.7–5.0%) colonies with unsolvable queen problems, 54,525 (10.0%, 95% CI 9.8–10.2%) dead co...
LTSER platforms as a place-based transdisciplinary research infrastructure: lea...
Angelstam, Per; Manton, Michael; Elbakidze, Marine; Sijtsma, Frans; Adamescu, Mihai Cristian; Avni, Noa; Beja, Pedro; Bezak, Peter; Zyablikova, IrynaNatural capital is an essential foundation for human well-being (De Groot et al. 2010). The ecosystem services framework was developed with the aim to improve inclusion of natural capital into political and economic decision making across governance levels (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2005). However, fragmented policy, governance and land ownership are obstacles for multifunctional land management and spati...
