Bridging the gap between the Natura 2000 regional conservation status and local conservation objectives Research Institute for Nature and Forest Ghent University
The use of social psychology for improving the adoption of conservation practices. Soil conservation in Belgium KU Leuven
The orientation of agriculture has been moving through a sequence of shifts. In all major shifts such as the Neolithic revolution, the agricultural revolution and the green revolution timely adoption of the relevant technologies, ideas and innovation by the farming population has been was crucial. Nowadays, timely adoption of relevant production practices and system is vital to ensure the transition towards a more sustainable agriculture. ...

Comment on 'Conservation laws of higher order nonlinear PDEs and the variational conservation laws in the class with mixed derivatives' Ghent University
In a recent paper (R Narain and A H Kara 2010 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 43 085205), the authors claim to be applying Noether's theorem to higher-order partial differential equations and state that in a large class of examples 'the resultant conserved flows display some previously unknown interesting 'divergence properties' owing to the presence of the mixed derivatives' (citation from their abstract). It turns out that what this obscure sentence ...
Conservation Genetic Resources for Effective Species Survival (ConGRESS): Bridging the divide between conservation research and practice Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp
Policy makers and managers are increasingly called upon to assess the state of biodiversity, and make decisions regarding potential interventions. Genetic tools are well-recognised in the research community as a powerful approach to evaluate species and population status, reveal ecological and demographic processes, and inform nature conservation decisions. The wealth of genetic data and power of genetic methods are rapidly growing, but the ...

Ensuring the future of vanilla: Conservation and potential use of its crop wild relatives KU Leuven
The vanilla sector faces several challenges that negatively affect its stable supply. Domestication bottlenecks, vegetative propagation, and manual pollination instigated a strong genetic erosion in the crop species Vanilla planifolia. Moreover, practices involving intense monocultures and supply chains with asymmetrical revenue partition further exacerbate the vulnerability of this sector. The Neotropics host several Vanilla crop wild relatives ...
