Relationship between home range and population density in mammals: the role of sociality, territoriality and habitat dimensionality

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Organisms' energy requirements increase with body mass, leading to larger home range areas and lower population density. Previous research has highlighted the differential scaling of these variables in mammals, where species with large home ranges have higher density than expected due to increased home range overlap. Here we investigate this phenomenon

Changing patterns of colonisation and persistence during the wolf recolonisation of the human‐dominated Italian alpine region

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Dynamic occupancy models are fundamental for understanding complex species recolonisation processes, as they allow the assessment of both colonisation and persistence probabilities over time. Using a dynamic occupancy model and a large‐scale multi‐year dataset on wolf presence collected in the Italian alpine region between 2014 and 2020, we analysed ...

Plant adaptive strategies respond to environmental change across European grassland habitats

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Grassland ecosystems are facing rapid and ongoing change driven by intensified land‐use and accelerated climate change, highlighting the urgent need to understand their potential adaptation and response to environmental change. We analyzed data from 52 980 vegetation plots spanning all major grassland habitats in Europe (including alpine, rocky, sandy,

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...
