Anisotropic community turn‐over at habitat edges informs on assembly drivers: simulation and empirical test on soil macrofauna

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes is the result of a complex interplay between movement processes of organisms within and between habitat patches, and niche filtering processes due to spatially varying environmental conditions. Disentangling the relative influences of these different processes on community assembly and dynamics is a ...

What does coexistence mean? Insight from place‐based trajectories of pastoralists and bears encounters in the Pyrenees

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...

Stem-inhabiting harvestmen (Arachnida: Opiliones) in a spruce, a mixed, and a beech stand in the Solling mountains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In the Solling mountains (Southern Lower Saxony, Germany) the fauna was sampled for one year with stem eclectors in adjacent spruce, mixed (spruce/beech), and beech stands. The tree age was more than 90 years.

More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.

Sodium nitroprusside prevents the detrimental effects of glucose on the neurovascular unit and behaviour in zebrafish

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2019
Diabetes is associated with dysfunction of the neurovascular unit, although the mechanisms of this are incompletely understood and currently no treatment exists to prevent these negative effects.

Cooperative human signals to honeyguides form local dialects

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human language enables the exchange of complex information and precise instructions for collaborative planning and action. It rapidly evolves through social learning, generating diverse cultural communication signals used not only with other humans, but also with domesticated animals bred or trained to respond.

Vpliv izbranih okoljskih dejavnikov na dinamiko vlaženja bukovine

open access: yesActa Silvae et Ligni, 2016
Beech is one of the most important tree species in Slovenia. Unfortunately, there is much more beech wood incremented annually than consumed. Thus, it is of great importance to develop new applications for use of beech wood. One of the possible solutions
