Demographic effects of sanitary policies on European vulture population dynamics: A retrospective modeling approach. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract The prediction of population responses to environmental changes, including the effects of different management scenarios, is a useful tool and a necessary contributor to improving conservation decisions. Empirical datasets based on long‐term monitoring studies are essential to assess the robustness of retrospective modeling predictions on ...

Farmland abandonment and season drive scavenging dynamics in livestock-rewilded landscapes. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Farmland abandonment occurs commonly across European mountain regions, which causes triggering of habitat encroachment through shrub regeneration and natural afforestation. However, its impact on vertebrate scavenger communities and ecological processes, such as the removal of small carcasses remains poorly understood.

Diversity, Abundance and Community Composition of Birds in Chitwan Annapurna Landscape, Central Nepal. [PDF]
Ecol EvolUnderstanding bird diversity and composition is important for assessing survival, adaptability, and extinction risks. This study investigated bird species abundance, richness, seasonal diversity, and composition across habitats, seasons, and physiographic zones of Chitwan Annapurna Landscape (CHAL) from 2020 to 2021 using the point count method.
