Lost, gained, and regained functional and phylogenetic diversity of European mammals since 8000 years ago

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 17, Page 5283-5293, September 2022., 2022
Over the last 8000 years, humans have caused the loss of some European mammal species but there have also been gains associated with species introductions and reintroductions, while some species have re‐expanded into their former distributions after the relaxation of past pressures.

Free-living greylag geese adjust their heart rates and body core temperatures to season and reproductive context [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Animals adaptively regulate their metabolic rate and hence energy expenditure over the annual cycle to cope with energetic challenges. We studied energy management in greylag geese.

Andrological and cytogenetic investigations of an infertile Przewalski's stallion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The case of an 8-year-old, sexually active but infertile Przewalski's stallion (Equus ferus przewalskii) was studied. Besides the infertility, the stallion also showed permanent problems with its body condition, being obviously weaker than all the other ...

Megafauna restoration as a legal obligation: International biodiversity law and the rehabilitation of large mammals in Europe

open access: yesReview of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 182-198, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Restoring functional ecosystems in Europe inter alia requires restoring large mammal (megafauna) diversity and densities to levels well above the current downgraded state, which results from a human‐driven wave of megafauna extinctions and extirpations in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene.

Influence of weather on the behaviour of reintroduced Przewalski’s horses in the Great Gobi B Strictly Protected Area (Mongolia): implications for conservation

open access: yesBMC Zoology, 2022
Background Reintroduction is a common technique for re-establishing threatened species. However, the adaptation to novel habitats with distinct conditions poses a risk of failure.

A pilot study on dietary and faecal calcium/phosphorus ratios in different types of captive ruminating herbivores

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 349-356, January 2022., 2022
Ruminating herbivores differ in their gastrointestinal anatomy and physiology, having adapted to their natural diet. This study investigates differences in calcium and phosphorus metabolism in non‐domestic ruminants and camelids, presenting first data on such species.
