Rapid postfire color shift in a Mediterranean lizard

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We quantified dorsal luminosity and color composition of Psammodromus algirus in burned and adjacent unburned habitats at different times since fire. Lizards inhabiting recently burned areas displayed lighter dorsal coloration, particularly during the early stages of postfire succession, with the effect being more pronounced in larger individuals ...

Year‐round colony‐level differences in foraging behaviour and diel activity of yellow‐legged gulls from natural and urban colonies

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
GPS‐tracked yellow‐legged gulls from urban (Porto) and natural (Berlenga) colonies showed contrasting foraging strategies. Urban gulls remained near cities and followed human routines, while natural gulls foraged farther and used marine habitats. Abstract Urbanisation has led to increased populations of opportunistic species like gulls, driven by the ...

Effects of soil moisture on microhabitat selection of two fossorial amphisbaenian reptiles from contrasting environments

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Extreme events expected under climate change (prolonged drought or torrential rains) alter soil conditions, yet their effects on fossorial vertebrates remain understudied. We tested substrate selection across moisture levels in two amphisbaenians from contrasting climates: Blanus cinereus (Iberian temperate forest) and Trogonophis wiegmanni (North ...
