Biology, ecology, and conservation of the Italian hare Lepus corsicanus: a review

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The Italian hare Lepus corsicanus, an endemic lagomorph of Italy, serves as a critical case study in evolutionary biology and conservation. Once taxonomically debated, modern genetic and morphological analyses confirm its status as a distinct Pleistocene lineage restricted to the central‐southern Italian Peninsula and Sicily.

Museomics Deciphers the Phylogeographic Differentiation and Conservation Status of a Montane Pheasant

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...

Effect of dowel wood species on dowel tensile strength in wooden length joints bonded with different adhesives

Turkish Journal of Forestry, 2019
In this study, dowel tensile strength values of wooden length joints prepared using dowels obtained from ash (Fraxinus excelsior Lipsky), chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) and oak (Quercus petraea Lieble) were investigated.

Effect of cambium age and ring width on density and fibre length of black locust and chestnut wood

, 2010
The relationship between wood density (WD) and fibre length (FL) with cambium age (CA) and ring width (RW) was studied in two ring-porous species, black locust and coppice-grown chestnut, collected in the Sithonia Peninsula, Chalkidiki, Greece.

The Australian Hydromyine Rodents—Their Interspecific Diversity and Reproductive Biology: A Review

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
There are two major groups, the Rattus species and the Hydromyini, in Australia. Clearly, the hydromyine rodents, unlike the Rattus genus, exhibit a diverse array of reproductive biological traits in both males and females, the full evolutionary significance of which has yet to be ascertained.

Multiple Community Informants Enhance Public Information About Predators Across a Latitudinal Gradient in Bird Communities of China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated bird communities across a 1650‐km latitudinal gradient in China where there is a transition in which “community informant” species play important roles in providing public information about predation, from babblers in the south to tits in the north. We found that both babblers and tits jointly contribute vocalizations when they are both

Evaluation of wooden materials deteriorated by marine wood boring organisms in the black sea

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
Marine borers can destroy wooden structures exposed to the marine environment and cause great monetary loss. In the region of Amasra of the Black Sea in Turkey, ships continue to be built from wood, mainly Castanea sativa (sweet chestnut) and Quercus ...

Effects of Compressing Pressure on Briquettes Made from Woody Biomass

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2017
Biomass, in particular wood, has become a fundamental renewable energy source that can replace fossil fuels in many applications, from eating to electricity production. Wood chips are one of the most popular biomass fuel in latest cogenerating plants and
