THE FOREDEEPS OF THE NORTHERN ADRIATIC MARGIN: EVIDENCE OF DIACHRONEITY IN DEFORMATION OF THE SOUTHERN ALPS

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2017
The evolution of the foredeeps which developed on the northern Adriatic foreland took piace in a regime of oblique convergence. From the Late Oligocene onwards much compression in the Southern Alps must have been the compressional component of dextral ...

When tiny convective spread affects a midlatitude jet: Spread sequence

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We investigate spread evolution by mesoscale convection from tiny initial condition uncertainty during a real event. There is significant variation among the systems in their propensity to interact with the jet stream, whereby variability in one system (due to convective and long‐wave radiative heating tendencies) tightly relates to Rossby‐like ...

Glacial refugia and speciation in a group of wind-pollinated and -dispersed, endemic Alpine species of Helictotrichon (Poaceae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
In the Alps phylogeographic studies indicate for small insect-pollinated herbs that climatic fluctuations caused significant population migrations and fragmentations into glacial refugia at the periphery of the Alps.

Performance of the operational ECMWF ensemble in predicting heavy rain associated with the Emilia‐Romagna flood in May 2023

Weather, EarlyView.
A devastating flood occurred in May 2023 in the Emilia‐Romagna region in northern Italy after 2 days with widespread accumulated precipitation exceeding 150mm. The event was associated with a quasi‐stationary upper‐level cutoff cyclone. This study investigates the performance of the operational ECMWF ensemble prediction system in capturing the cutoff ...

Present-day surface deformation of the Alpine region inferred from geodetic techniques [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2018
We provide a present-day surface-kinematics model for the Alpine region and surroundings based on a high-level data analysis of about 300 geodetic stations continuously operating over more than 12 years.

Navigating a landscape of contrasting hunting regimes and habitats: red deer responses to risk and resources

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Habitat selection of ungulates is influenced by various factors, with human interactions playing a significant role. Human disturbances through hunting strongly affect ungulate behaviour, often forcing them to modify their habitat choices by avoiding areas where the risk from humans outweighs other habitat benefits. Gaining insights into these dynamics

Comparative evaluation of noninvasive DNA sampling and line transect surveys for spring density estimation of black grouse and capercaillie

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reliable abundance estimates provide essential information in ecology, conservation and management of many wild grouse populations. In this 3‐year study, we comparatively evaluate the suitability of traditional line transect distance sampling of flushed birds versus a spatial capture–recapture survey with noninvasive DNA samples for individual ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.

The wolf is back! Non‐consumptive effects of the return of a large carnivore on the use of supplementary feeding sites by roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how prey species tradeoff predation risk and resource acquisition is particularly important for advancing our knowledge of predator–prey relationships. We investigated this by studying the use of concentrated anthropogenic resources, namely supplementary feeding sites, by roe deer Capreolus capreolus before and after grey wolf Canis lupus

Can Fecal T3 Metabolite Level Fluctuations in European Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) Give Insights on Body Condition and Thermal Stress?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
European roe deer fecal samples were assayed to investigate the potential fluctuations of fecal thyroid hormone metabolites (FTMs) in response to environmental (e.g., the temperature, local densities) and individual (e.g., sex, age, body, and nutritional conditions) variables.
