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

Seismotectonics of the eastern-southern Alps: a review

, 1989
The more significant geological and geophysical data available for northeastern Italy, between lake Garda and the Italian border with Yugoslavia, and between the Italian border with Austria and the river Po are analyzed and compared. From the geological point of view, a structural model showing sectors with different pre-Quaternary evolution, and a ...

Genetic population structure of red foxes Vulpes vulpes across a rural landscape: insights into population connectivity and spatial patterns

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Human activities have shaped and are continuing to influence terrestrial landscapes, creating heterogenous, and often, fragmented landscapes. Generalist species, like the red fox Vulpes vulpes, show high flexibility in habitat use, and occur across the heterogeneous, anthropogenic landscapes of central Europe.

A literature‐based framework for anticipating golden jackal Canis aureus colonisation: insights from Europe and a Swiss case study

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The expansion of the golden jackal Canis aureus in Europe, caused mainly by habitat fragmentation, climate change and the decline of large carnivores until half a century ago, poses emerging challenges for newly colonised regions. With the arrival of a new species, potential effects on local animal communities, hunting, livestock husbandry or the ...

Geological Substrate Is Related to Tooth Senescence and Population Dynamic: The Case Study of Alpine Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

Moonmilk as a human and veterinary medicine: evidence of past artisan mining in caves of the Austrian Alps

International Journal of Speleology, 2018
The use of moonmilk for medical and other purposes in the Alps is documented since the 16th century. This article reviews speleological reports and sparse historical accounts about the extraction of moonmilk from 18 caves in the Eastern Alps of Austria ...
