Geological Substrate Is Related to Tooth Senescence and Population Dynamic: The Case Study of Alpine Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

Community changes in a restored tussock sedge wetland over 15 years: Expansion and competition

Global Ecology and Conservation
Vegetation restoration is one of the most effective means to reestablish wetlands. However, little is known about how plant communities expand and compete after wetland restoration because of the dearth of data from long-term monitoring.

Decades of Enclosure Protection Exert Composite Effects on Grassland Grasshopper Communities

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Decades of enclosure protection have altered grasshopper community structure, with species‐specific effects on population dynamics. For the low‐mobility grasshopper Chorthippus fallax, abundance did not differ strongly between exclosure‐protected and overgrazed areas, but its egg development duration was longer in exclosures. The two C.

Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.

Modern pollen rain of an upland area: implications of pollen dispersal for interpreting palaeoenvironmental records

Boreas, EarlyView.
A long‐term perspective on landscape evolution is critical for understanding past land‐use activity, land cover–climate feedbacks and, notably, for establishing a factual basis for conservation. Fossil pollen analysis provides a means to achieve this. Biases pertaining to pollen productivity, pollination processes and basin size, however, mean there is

The last glacial cycle in western Norway—extensive MIS 5d glaciation, multiple glacial advances and LGM glacial advance phases

Boreas, EarlyView.
Raised marine MIS 5c sediments evidence extensive preceding (5d) glaciation in western Norway. This is the first out of five (or six) major Weichselian glacier advances that seem to correspond to North Atlantic sea surface cooling periods. Till beds capping the marine sediments show stages of pre‐LGM advance and subsequent retreat.

Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.
