Stratigraphy and geomorphology of Des‐Cubierta Cave (Pinilla del Valle, Madrid, Spain): Geological insights into a Neanderthal symbolic accumulation of large crania

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Des‐Cubierta Cave, part of the Calvero de la Higuera complex, is situated in the intramountainous upper valley of the Lozoya River within the Guadarrama Range. The cave's geological, palaeontological, and archaeological record reveals a complex history of sedimentary and anthropogenic processes spanning hundreds of thousands of years ...

A preliminary note on the visual changes in femur marrow fat as an indicator of femur fat percentage of springbok Antidorcas Marsupialis and blesbok Damaliscus Dorcas Phillipsi

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1973
Changes occuring in marrow fat reserves of animals have been used as an indicator of their physical condition (Cheatum, 1949; Riney, 1955). Cheatum correlated his visual estimate with a chemical analysis and Riney used four different condition classes ...

Patterns and drivers of range filling of alien mammals in Europe

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biological invasions are major drivers of biodiversity change. Alien mammals are particularly concerning in Europe, where their expansion remains unabated, though the driving factors are still unclear. Well‐documented introductions and distributions in this continent provide a unique opportunity to understand how human activities influenced this ...

Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

HEMATOLOGIC VALUES FOR TULE ELK (CERVUS ELAPHUS NANNODES) [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2002
Hematologic values for 99 tule elk (Cervus elaphus nannodes) from California (USA) are presented. These were obtained from individuals from three captures at Tomales Point (Point Reyes National Seashore, California) from 1997-98. Differences between capture groups were assessed.

Farmers' tolerance for crop damage caused by wildlife: the role of compensation

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Compensation is a common strategy to alleviate financial losses caused by wildlife, but its effects on farmers' tolerance towards damage to crops caused by wildlife are poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted semi‐structured interviews in three areas in and around biosphere reserves in Sweden and Germany to examine farmers ...

Lessons learned and lingering uncertainties after seven years of chronic wasting disease management in Norway

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is well known among cervids in North America. Nevertheless, management faced different types and degrees of uncertainty when CWD was first detected in reindeer Rangifer tarandus in Nordfjella, Norway in 2016. We present a timeline of the efforts to control CWD, and identify how the process, measurement, environmental, and ...
