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 ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1204-1217, April 2026.Abstract The surface area of organisms is a key parameter in ecological and evolutionary applications. For example, surface area‐dependent traits such as rates of cutaneous water loss and of heat absorbed are relevant for predicting animal desiccation rates and body temperatures.

No Evidence for Pace of Life Evolution Along Elevational Gradients in Squamate Reptiles
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.Ecological conditions can significantly influence the trade‐off between survival, growth, and reproduction, leading to evolutionary divergence in life‐history traits among populations experiencing different environments. The pace of life syndrome hypothesis (POLS) proposes that additional suites of traits, from physiology to behaviour, adaptively co ...

Substrate type has a limited impact on the sprint performance of a Mediterranean lizard
Acta Herpetologica, 2019 Environmental factors may affect animal performance in diverse ways, even among different populations of a single species. Here, we assess the impact of substrate type on the sprint performance (maximum speed and acceleration) of Schreiber’s fringe ...
