Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Identifying the exposure of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of steppe birds to renewable energy development

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity is globally threatened by human impacts, including land‐use transformation and climate change, which has prompted a rapid transition from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) energy. However, utility‐scale PV plants require vast areas and can lead to conflicts with biodiversity conservation, making ...

Shelters or ecological traps? Context‐dependent effects of nestboxes on breeding success in a colonial raptor

Ibis, EarlyView.
Artificial breeding structures, such as nestboxes, can potentially influence the population size and conservation status of bird species relying on heavily human‐modified environments such as agroecosystems and urban areas. However, the effectiveness of these interventions may vary, as artificial structures could attract individuals to suboptimal ...

Long-term species richness-abundance dynamics in relation to species departures and arrivals in wintering urban bird assemblages [PDF]

, 2019
Temporal dynamics of local assemblages depend on the species richness and the total abundance of individuals as well as local departure and arrival rates of species. We used urban bird survey data collected from the same 31 study plots and methods during

Assessing forest fragmentation and biodiversity impacts in sub‐Saharan Africa: Methodological challenges and conservation strategies for small‐scale agricultural landscapes

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Tropical forests in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) harbor around one‐third of the world's species but are becoming more fragmented due to the expansion of human settlements and small‐scale agricultural (SCA) areas. This study systematically reviewed the approaches and methods used to analyze forest fragmentation and its impact on biodiversity in SSA,

Lead ammunition residues in the meat of hunted woodcock: a potential health risk to consumers

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2016
Wild meat often retains metallic particles originating from the ammunition fired by hunters. Since ammunition are traditionally lead (Pb)-based, the consumption of game meat may entail the ingestion of Pb embedded in tissues.
