Prioritizing the reassessment of data‐deficient species on the IUCN Red List

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite being central to the implementation of conservation policies, the usefulness of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is hampered by the 14% of species classified as data‐deficient (DD) because information to evaluate these species’ extinction risk was lacking when they were last ...

Deciphering Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra L.) and seal (Phoca vitulina L.; Halichoerus grypus F.) diet: Metabarcoding tailored for fresh and saltwater fish species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 19, Page 5089-5106, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Long‐lived top predators shape biodiversity structure in their ecosystems and predator–prey interactions are critical in decoding how communities function. Studies on the foraging ecology of seals and Eurasian otters in Western Europe are outdated and most studies solely performed traditional hard part analysis.

Global patterns of resilience decline in vertebrate populations

Ecology Letters, Volume 25, Issue 1, Page 240-251, January 2022., 2022
The resilience of vertebrate populations is declining worldwide. Multiple threats are accelerating this loss of resilience. Abstract Maintaining the resilience of natural populations, their ability to resist and recover from disturbance, is crucial to prevent biodiversity loss.

Infection of the Carpathian brook lamprey (Eudontomyzon danfordi Regan, 1911) with a dermocystid parasite in the Tisza River Basin, Hungary

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 1571-1577, December 2020., 2020
Abstract The Carpathian brook lamprey (Eudontomyzon danfordi Regan, 1911) is an endemic protected species of Cephalaspidomorphi in the Carpathian Basin. No parasites have become known from these jawless vertebrates to date. Here, the authors describe an infection from a single specimen manifesting in protuberant skin cysts 7–10 mm in diameter ...
