What can young people's social connections tell us about their migration patterns in rural Scotland?
Introduction: While migration is an integral part of rural communities, little is known about how social networks and community relations shape mobility decisions (e.g., return, outmigration, or stay in) and more widely the experiences of rural living.

Framed within the National Islands Plan (2019), Scotlandâs Population Strategy (2021) along with Action to Address Depopulation (2024), our project explores the level

The bacterial pathogen Chlamydia abortus is responsible for causing the disease ovine enzootic abortion (OEA), also known as enzootic abortion of ewes (EAE). It is the most common infectious cause of reproductive loss (causing abortion usually in the last three weeks of pregnancy) in sheep in Scotland and the UK, as well as being common throughout the world. The disease can be controlled using two types of commercial vaccines (based on the live and inactivated pathogen), although there are safety and other issues with both types reducing their effectiveness (efficacy).
