Predictive Distribution Modeling of the Medicinal Leech <i>Hirudo verbana</i> Carena, 1820 (Hirudinea, Hirudinidae) in Sicily: Implications for Conservation. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
A predictive distribution model for Hirudo verbana in Sicily was developed using 1980–2024 occurrence data and environmental variables. The species is associated with densely vegetated, high‐elevation lentic habitats and avoids human‐disturbed areas.

Habitat dynamics of flagship species for conservation prioritization in southern Europe. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Biodiversity loss is accelerating due to human actions, and decision‐making for conservation needs to be streamlined. Ex situ biodiversity modeling and monitoring based on satellite time‐series data could be an affordable and cost‐efficient tool for improving the prioritization of conservation areas.

Successional theories

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 6, Page 2049-2077, December 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Succession is a fundamental concept in ecology because it indicates how species populations, communities, and ecosystems change over time on new substrate or after a disturbance. A mechanistic understanding of succession is needed to predict how ecosystems will respond to land‐use change and to design effective ecosystem restoration strategies.

Southward Migration of Arctic Ocean Species During the Last Glacial Period

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 49, Issue 23, 16 December 2022., 2022
Abstract The East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM) is associated with northerly surface winds affecting crop and livestock productivity and social and economic activities across East Asia. However, the relationship between EAWM dynamics and marine biota remains poorly understood.

Influence of the Salmo (trutta) trutta on the population structure, the growth, and the habitat preference of a Cottus gobio population

River Research and Applications, Volume 38, Issue 9, Page 1585-1600, November 2022., 2022
Abstract The bullhead Cottus gobio is a small‐sized fish whose range extends over most of the European continent, and it is listed in Annex II of EU “Habitat” Directive for its great conservation interest. In the last decades, bullhead populations suffered local decline.
