Reduced trophic niche breadth is associated with higher productivity in a recovering apex predator population

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Understanding the trophic and demographic dynamics of apex predators is of paramount importance for ecosystem conservation. Apex predators are usually free from predation, and thus, the main driver of population dynamics is the availability of trophic resources, which affects breeding performance. Albeit food habits have been described in many

Wild rabbits are Leishmania infantum reservoirs in southeastern Spain

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 584-590, August 2024.
Abstract Objective We contribute to the understanding of the transmission dynamics of Leishmania infantum suggesting the involvement of rabbits as wild reservoirs. Results The prevalence of infection was 86.0% (270/314 wild rabbits) ranging from 18.2% to 100% in natural geographical regions.

Occurrence of Coxiella burnetii in wild lagomorphs and their ticks in Spanish Mediterranean ecosystems

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 549-559, August 2024.
Abstract Background Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, is a zoonotic multi‐host vector‐borne pathogen of major public health importance. Although the European Food Safety Authority has recently made the monitoring of this bacterium in wildlife a priority, the role of wild lagomorphs in the transmission and maintenance of C.

Clustered and rotating designs as a strategy to obtain precise detection rates in camera trapping studies

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1649-1661, July 2024.
Our research provides a guideline for wildlife managers and researchers to improve the precision of camera trap detection rates and optimize resource allocation. In general, the study design should accommodate the behaviour of the target species (e.g.

Iberian hares with anciently introgressed mitochondrial DNA express a marginal environmental niche

, 2021
Aim The role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in local adaptation has been thoroughly debated, and the ancient pervasive mtDNA introgression from Lepus timidus into Lepus granatensis allows testing of this hypothesis.

Mammal coloration as a social signal

Journal of Zoology, Volume 323, Issue 2, Page 114-128, June 2024.
Otherwise apparently cryptic mammals often have conspicuous patches of colour on distal regions of their body, possibly for signalling. To investigate ideas about communication within sociosexual contexts, we used a comparative dataset for 2726 terrestrial mammals to match the coloration and patterning of distal body areas (head, chest, rump, and tail)

The rise and fall of the mountain hare (Lepus timidus) during Pleistocene glaciations: expansion and retreat with hybridization in the Iberian Peninsula

, 2007
International audienceThe climatic fluctuations during glaciations have affected differently arctic and temperate species. In the northern hemisphere, cooling periods induced the expansion of many arctic species to the south, while temperate species were

BackgroundImmunoglobulin A (IgA) is the mammalian mucosal antibody, providing an important line of defense against pathogens. With 15 IgA subclasses, the European rabbit has an extremely complex IgA system, strikingly more complex than most other mammals,
