Alpine ungulates adjust diel activity to the natural return of wolves amid anthropogenic pressures

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
As wolves recolonise their historical range across Europe, ungulates face predation once more – but in landscapes profoundly altered by human activity. This shift raises crucial questions about their capacity to express adaptive antipredator behaviours.

Through the Magnifying Glass: Provincial Aspects of Industrial Growth in Post-Unification Italy [PDF]

In post-Unification Italy industrialization was ever sharply sub-regional. Initially industry was largely artisanal, and located in the former political capitals; factory industry was instead attracted by the waterfalls of the subalpine Northwest.

Estimating the Impact of Socioeconomic Drivers on Land Degradation in Italy via Spatio‐Temporal Additive Expectile Regression

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate changes, soil degradation, and desertification increasingly threaten the entire territory of Italy due to the complex interplay between natural processes and anthropogenic forces. Motivated by this pressing issue, this paper investigates how land‐use and socioeconomic drivers have shaped desertification dynamics across Italian ...

Not just ‘super‐predators': human behaviour shapes wildlife behavioural responses across avoidance, tolerance and attraction

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.
Humans are thought to have a disproportionately negative impact on wildlife and are viewed by some as the ultimate ‘super predator'. This view implies that wild animals perceive humans primarily as predators. However, a growing body of evidence shows that wildlife can have remarkable tolerance for, or even attraction to, humans.

Continuous Production of Whey Bioactive Peptides With Alcalase Immobilized on Agro‐Industrial Waste

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 10, 11 March 2026.
In this study, a packed‐bed reactor containing Alcalase immobilized on agro‐industrial waste was employed for the continuous hydrolysis of whey proteins and the production of bioactive peptides. The system showed excellent thermal and operational stability, while achieving a high degree of hydrolysis and producing peptides with high antioxidant ...

Large Language Model‐Driven Analysis and Report Generation of Endoscopy Videos—A Pilot Study

Digestive Endoscopy, Volume 38, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can automatically analyze clinical video, but evidence from full esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and the impact of on‐screen computer‐aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) overlays on MLLM behavior remain unclear. We tested whether an MLLM can produce clinically adequate EGD reports and whether a CAD overlay

The Causal Relationship Between Jurisdiction Size and Institutional Quality

Journal of Regional Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 685-702, March 2026.
ABSTRACT While the relationship between jurisdiction size and economic and electoral outcomes has been extensively studied, its causal impact on institutional capacity and quality remains unexplored. Leveraging the mergers of 197 Italian municipalities, we investigate changes in administrative quality using the Municipal Administration Quality Index ...
