Die Verkopplung neuer EU-Eigenmittel mit Sachpolitiken – Das Beispiel der Abgabe für nicht recycelte Verpackungsabfälle sowie rechtliche Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer Fortentwicklung

Jonathan Swart

Der Beitrag untersucht die Zulässigkeit, Grenzen sowie potenzielle Risiken der Verkopplung neuer EU-Eigenmittel mit unionalen sachpolitischen Zielsetzungen, exemplarisch an der Abgabe auf nicht recycelte Kunststoffverpackungsabfälle. Er ordnet die Verpackungsabgabe dogmatisch ein und prüft ihre Vereinbarkeit mit Art. 311 AEUV sowie den grundlegenden …

Behavioral responses of terrestrial mammals to COVID-19 lockdowns

Marlee A. Tucker, Aafke M. Schipper, Tempe S. F. Adams, Nina Attias et autres

COVID-19 lockdowns in early 2020 reduced human mobility, providing an opportunity to disentangle its effects on animals from those of landscape modifications. Using GPS data, we compared movements and road avoidance of 2300 terrestrial mammals (43 species) during the lockdowns to the …

Empowering Wildlife Guardians: An Equitable Digital Stewardship and Reward System for Biodiversity Conservation Using Deep Learning and 3/4G Camera Traps

Paul Fergus, Carl Chalmers, Steven N. Longmore, Serge A. Wich et autres

The biodiversity of our planet is under threat, with approximately one million species expected to become extinct within decades. The reason: negative human actions, which include hunting, overfishing, pollution, and the conversion of land for urbanisation and agricultural purposes. Despite significant investment …

Canine Distemper Virus Management in Lions (Panthera leo) on Welgevonden Game Reserve

Samuel Davidson-Phillips, Phillipa Davidson-Phillips, Gregory Canning, Bradley Schroder et autres

Large charismatic predators have been re-introduced to several fenced reserves (<1000 km2); consequently, their populations can be at risk to declining genetic diversity and catastrophic events such as disease. Welgevonden Game Reserve (WGR) experienced an outbreak of canine distemper virus (CDV) in …

Energetics suggest cause for even further conservation concern for Temminck’s ground pangolin

Justin G. Boyles, Jonathan Swart, Nigel C. Bennett, Willem Ferguson et autres

Abstract Conservation of rare and declining species requires reliable information about life‐history traits and population growth characteristics. Unfortunately, long‐term studies necessary to obtain such data are often difficult or impossible for species of concern. In such cases, data that can be collected …

Competition between a Lawn-Forming Cynodon dactylon and a Tufted Grass Species Hyparrhenia hirta on a South-African Dystrophic Savanna

Joeri A. Zwerts, H.H.T. Prins, Daan Bomhoff, Irene Verhagen et autres

South African savanna grasslands are often characterised by indigestible tufted grass species whereas lawn grasses are far more desirable in terms of herbivore sustenance. We aimed to investigate the role of nutrients and/or the disturbance (grazing, trampling) by herbivores on the formation …

Ecological factors affecting the feeding behaviour of pangolins (Manis temminckii)

Jonathan Swart, P. R. K. Richardson, J. W. H. Ferguson

Abstract The diet and foraging behaviour of 15 radio‐tagged pangolins were studied in the Sabi Sand Wildtuin for 14 months, together with the community composition and occurrence of epigaeic ants and termites. Fifty‐five ant and termite species of 25 genera were trapped …
