ABSTRACT The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings (n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis (n = 43 from 1997 to

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...

Abstract Sea ice is situated close to the termini of many outlet glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic and has the potential to influence their dynamics and, therefore, their contribution to sea level rise. However, the nature, prevalence, and ice‐dynamic significance of sea ice‐glacier interactions remains subject to several open questions.

Horses on the Menu: Patterns and Drivers of Free‐Ranging Horse Consumption by Iberian Wolves
Free‐ranging mountain ponies can comprise most of the Iberian wolf diet. Through a meta‐analysis of 137 studies, we show that horse consumption is shaped by prey availability, topography and human density, often surpassing wild and domestic ungulates and potentially serving as a buffer for livestock predation.

Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...
