Assessing the role of habitat, climate, and anthropization gradients on terrestrial mammal diversity in the western Mediterranean basin. [PDF]
Integr ZoolThis study investigates the impact of landscape features and human influence on terrestrial mammal diversity in the Mediterranean basin using 300 camera traps across 28 sites. Contrary to expectations, landscape heterogeneity and anthropization did not correlate with mammal diversity.

Cumulative Extreme Events Threaten Penguin Habitats Across the Southern Hemisphere. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolThis study examines how multiple extreme events overlap across the Southern Hemisphere, focusing on hotspots of 18 penguin species across both land and sea. African, Snares, Emperor, Adélie and Galápagos penguins experience the greatest combined exposure, and most species are projected to face more frequent extremes if current trends persist.

Mice population dynamics and structure over time and space after wildfires
Journal of Zoology, Volume 321, Issue 2, Page 128-141, October 2023., 2023 Wood and Algerian mice live syntopically within burnt areas, the former species being more abundant. In this study, adult females were recaptured more often over time, while males were found to cover greater distances. We found that recovery strategies of Mediterranean rodents are mainly driven by ex situ immigration from unburnt areas.

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 808-825, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Private domestic gardens have immense potential to contribute to urban biodiversity conservation. However, they are divided into small private plots and managed individually by garden owners. Therefore, engagement in wildlife‐friendly gardening (WFG), which entails alternative management and design choices, relies on the individual willingness

Luminescence, Volume 37, Issue 12, Page 2129-2138, December 2022., 2022 Bacterial mineralization treatments can be effective, nontoxic, environmentally friendly, and chemically compatible with fossil heritage. However, accurate monitoring should be carried out to detect bacteria viability during and after treatments. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) assay is proposed as a fast, affordable, portable, and easy‐to‐use system for ...

Ecography, Volume 2022, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022 Habitat suitability calculated from species distribution models (SDMs) has been used to assess population performance, but empirical studies have provided weak or inconclusive support to this approach. Novel approaches measuring population distances to niche centroid and margin in environmental space have been recently proposed to explain population ...

People and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 1387-1400, October 2022., 2022 Abstract The emergence of infectious diseases, such as COVID‐19, impacts livelihood strategies and conservation tools reliant on human‐wildlife interactions, such as wildlife‐based tourism and research. This is particularly relevant to great ape conservation, as humans and great apes are susceptible to being infected by similar pathogens.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 15, Issue 5, Page 594-605, September 2022., 2022 Our results confirm E. bazae as a well‐differentiated species and show that its two disjunct populations, regarded as subspecies, are genetically differentiated and should be treated as independent management units. Climate models under two future emission scenarios suggest an increase of the area climatically suitable.

Raptor reintroductions: Cost‐effective alternatives to captive breeding
Animal Conservation, Volume 25, Issue 2, Page 170-181, April 2022., 2022 To increase the effectiveness of reintroductions, it is essential to evaluate the performance of different strategies and pinpoint those that are more efficient. Here, we focus on the successful reintroduction of the Bonelli’s eagle on the island of Mallorca, where several individuals were reintroduced by three different release strategies, and ...
