Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Comparison of the Decay Behavior of Two White-Rot Fungi in Relation to Wood Type and Exposure Conditions

Microorganisms, 2020
Fungal wood decay strategies are influenced by several factors, such as wood species, moisture content, and temperature. This study aims to evaluate wood degradation characteristics of spruce, beech, and oak after exposure to the white-rot fungi ...

Characterisation of thermally treated beech and birch by means of quasi-static tests and ultrasonic waves

Scientific Reports, 2023
Wood, being renewable and highly abundant material, with excellent high specific strength and stiffness, has received increasing attention to be used in high performance applications such as the structural element of a battery case in an electric vehicle.

Wolves and humans both shape patterns of deer browsing in a temperate forest ecosystem of Central Europe

Ecography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions can trigger behavioural responses in ungulates, influencing their space‐use and foraging behaviour and, in turn, indirectly affecting browsing pressure. Changes in browsing pressure can affect plant recruitment and species composition, shaping forest regeneration through predator‐mediated trophic cascades.

Structure of scuttle fly communities (Diptera: Phoridae) in two habitats on a Mediterranean mountain

European Journal of Entomology, 2017
Phoridae (scuttle flies) are widely distributed, occur in many types of habitats and are ecologically versatile, which makes them an excellent bioindicator group for evaluating faunal diversity.

The Global Patent Landscape of Mushroom‐Derived Functional Foods: Current Status, Future Perspectives, and Artificial Intelligence–Driven Exploration

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
The global patent landscape of mushroom‐derived functional food was widely analyzed, and AI‐integrated approaches realizing cost‐effective and reliable exploration of functional foods derived from mushrooms were explored. ABSTRACT Global health concerns and the increasing demand for nourishment have collectively driven the rising demand for functional ...

Holocene vegetation change and fire–plant diversity shifts in Mediterranean France

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in fire activity are recognized as a major threat to biodiversity and vegetation communities across the Mediterranean Basin. However, long‐term fire–vegetation interactions remain poorly investigated. Here, we combine a high‐resolution charcoal record with pollen data from the “Étang des Aulnes” lake (southern France) to reconstruct ...
