Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

Still on the same page: A gender comparison of the top 100 picture books from the UK and China published 2011–2020

Children &Society, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract As a primary source for the early ages, picture books guide preschool children's gender perception through stories and illustrations. However, previous studies have criticised an overall gender inequality in children's picture books. Compared to the increasing attention on gender diversity in the UK picture book industry, there has been little

Landscape factors influencing predation on capercaillie nests by two competing mesopredators: pine marten and red fox

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predation by pine martens Martes martes and red foxes Vulpes vulpes is an important factor influencing the population dynamics of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the relative effects of these mesopredators on the reproductive success of capercaillie. To better understand how various landscape factors influence

Behavioural responses of a gamebird to human encounters across the hunting season

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
We examined the behavioural adaptation of rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta in response to human encounters across the hunting season. We conducted disturbance experiments in two different parts of the species' range, in subarctic (Iceland) and in alpine (Italy) habitats.

Spectromicroscopy Analysis of Chicken Egg Shells

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chicken egg shells, taken from farm and backyard eggs of different suppliers from different regions in Brazil were collected for chemical/structural analysis, in order to try to find if there is a relation between egg shells composition and the type of production (farm or backyard), the egg shell color and the region of production.
