Preserving Short‐Sward Natural Grasslands May Provide Suitable Foraging Habitat for a Climate‐Threatened Alpine Species Along Ski‐Pistes

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 734-746, October 2025.
Investigating the ultimate factors that underpin the impacts of ski‐pistes on alpine species is crucial to identify concrete mitigation strategies. This is urgently needed given that winter sports are expanding in mountain ranges worldwide. We evaluated the impacts of ski‐pistes on the foraging behaviour of the white‐winged snowfinch, an iconic alpine ...

Ultra-rapid cooling of ibex sperm by spheres method does not induce a vitreous extracellular state and increases the membrane damages.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Sperm cryopreservation by ultra-rapid cooling based on dropping small volumes of sperm suspension directly into liquid nitrogen, has been successful in some wild ruminant species, including the Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica).

Detection of Porcine Circovirus 3 in Wildlife Species in Spain

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) is the third member of the family Circoviridae, genus Circovirus, able to infect swine. A high prevalence of viral DNA has been recorded in wild boars. Recently, PCV-3 DNA was identified in Italian wild ruminants.

A taste for dung: food preferences of dung beetles uncovered

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 2, Page 170-182, October 2025.
Dung beetles have a generalist diet although they can develop preferences for specific excrements, such as elephant dung. Buffalo and wild boar dungs were broadly accepted among dung beetle species. In contrast, goat excrement was the least preferred. Abstract Insects represent the most megadiverse animal group, having evolved a wide range of feeding ...

COMPARISON OF TWO PARASITOLOGICAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF INTESTINAL PARASITES IN A POPULATION OF IBERIAN IBEX (CAPRA PYRENAICA SCHINZ, 1838) IN THE SIERRA DE GUADARRAMA NATIONAL PARK (SPAIN)

open access: yes, 2020
Twenty samples of Iberian ibex collected in October 2014 in Sierra de Guadarrama National Park (Spain) were analyzed to evaluate detectability of intestinal parasites by two concentration techniques: Ritchie (1948) and Anecimo et al .

Characterisation of the Historic Demographic Decline of the British European Polecat Population

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The European polecat (Mustela putorius) has a widespread distribution across many countries of mainland Europe but is documented to be declining within these ranges. In Britain, direct persecution led to a severe decline of the polecat population during the 19th century. Unlike European mainland populations, it is now recovering across much of

Streptococcus caprae sp. nov., isolated from Iberian ibex (Capra pyrenaica hispanica)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2016
Biochemical and molecular genetic studies were performed on a novel Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative, coccus-shaped organism isolated from tonsil samples of two Iberian ibexes. The micro-organism was identified as a streptococcal species based on its cellular, morphological and biochemical characteristics.

In vitro rearing Oestrus caucasicus third-instar larvae and pupae (Diptera: Oestridae) from naturally-infested Iberian ibex, Capra pyrenaica (Artiodactyla: Bovidae)

open access: yesParasite, 2006
Third-instar Oestrus caucasicus larvae (n = 236) obtained from Iberian ibex, Capra pyrenaica, were reared in a laboratory to obtain adult flies. They were maintained at a temperature of 21.9 ± 2.7° C and a relative humidity of 38.9 ± 8.0 %.
