Neo‐Taphonomic Analysis of Prey Bone Remains Accumulated by Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos): A Case of Nests in Southern France

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 481-497, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

Elevation, rather than land use, causes important dietary shifts in the Mediterranean golden eagle

Journal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 1, Page 25-37, May 2026.
In an ever‐changing landscape, golden eagles in the Iberian Peninsula demonstrate remarkable dietary adaptability. We monitored 50 distinct breeding events over 4 years using camera traps, collecting over 520 000 images. Elevation, rather than land use, emerged as the main driver of prey composition: lagomorphs and columbiforms dominated at lower ...

Uncovering biodiversity deficits: Experimental evidence for dispersal limitation of woody species in Mediterranean forest patches

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
We experimentally introduced seeds of woody species into Mediterranean forest patches to test whether species’ absences reflected dispersal limitation or habitat unsuitability. Similar establishment rates showed that unoccupied patches are suitable for establishment but experience limited seed arrival, uncovering diversity deficits that can be restored

Study of Sylvilagus rabbit TRIM5α species-specific domain: how ancient endoviruses could have shaped the antiviral repertoire in Lagomorpha

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background Since the first report of the antiretroviral restriction factor TRIM5α in primates, several orthologs in other mammals have been described. Recent studies suggest that leporid retroviruses like RELIK, the first reported endogenous lentivirus ...

The dual role of red deer in yellow rockrose seed dispersal and predation in Mediterranean Spain

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 1468-1477, December 2025.
Red deer play a mostly antagonistic and predatory role on Cistus halimifolius seeds, but here, it has been demonstrated, for the first time, their overlooked mutualistic potential role as long distance disperser. Abstract Endozoochory, seed dispersal after animal ingestion, is a mutualistic plant–animal interaction that often involves substantial costs
