The diet of wintering Barn Owls (Tyto alba) in the region of Histria, the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute, 2008
The Barn Owl (Tyto alba) is a common nocturnal predator of agro-ecosystems and it is widely distributed, especially in European countryside. The species uses human artifacts, ruins, barns, attics, towers for breeding and roosting, these sites can provide

Properties of vertebrate predator–prey networks in the high Arctic

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.
Predation is an important ecological process, particularly in arctic environments, which undergo rapid environmental change. Vertebrate trophic networks from a fragmented terrestrial ecosystem on northern Ellesmere Island and north Greenland were less complex, had more specialized interactions, and were more nested and more modular than random ...

Blood meal analysis reveals sources of tick‐borne pathogens and differences in host utilization of juvenile Ixodes ricinus across urban and sylvatic habitats

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 442-450, June 2024.
Abstract Aims Urban green spaces are locations of maximal human activity, forming areas of enhanced risk for tick‐borne disease (TBD) transmission. Being also limited in spatial scale, green spaces form prime targets for control schemes aiming to reduce TBD risk.

Genomic Scans Support Repetitive Continental Colonization Events during the Rapid Radiation of Voles (Rodentia: Microtus): the Utility of AFLPs versus Mitochondrial and Nuclear Sequence Markers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Single locus studies might not resolve phylogenetic relationships and the evolutionary history of taxa. The analysis of multiple markers promises higher resolution, and congruence among loci may indicate that the phylogenies represent the underlying ...

Is the diet cyclic phase‐dependent in boreal vole populations?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.
This study investigates the diets of two key boreal rodents through DNA metabarcoding to evaluate whether their food intake varies systematically with their multi‐annual population cycles. The findings suggest that diet changes related to these cycles are marginal compared to overall diet flexibility and suggest that the broad diets, with little ...
