New constraints on the postglacial evolution of Lago Maggiore, Northern Italy

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lago Maggiore is situated in an overdeepened valley reach at the southern margin of the European Alps, and its thick sediment infill allows the reconstruction of the postglacial valley and lake evolution. We study here the sedimentary succession in the lower Ossola Valley, which is infilled by ~500 m of deposits. In a marginal position, a core

Forest or tundra? How different vegetation reconstructions of Last Glacial landscapes in Europe may shape our perception of early human dispersal processes

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regional variability and long‐term changes of past ecosystems likely had a strong impact on hunter–gatherer population dynamics, including the expansion of anatomically modern humans and the disappearance of Neanderthals. However, our understanding of these ecosystems remains limited, even when looking at large‐scale patterns, such as the ...

Sensorial and nutritional qualities of muscles from cross‐bred Salers heifers raised on mid‐mountain pasture

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the effects of crossbreeding, finishing system, and muscle type on carcass characteristics, intramuscular fat (IMF), image‐based IMF estimation, fatty acid composition, and meat quality in beef heifers. Charolais × Salers (C × S) and Angus × Salers (A × S) crossbred heifers were finished either on pasture or ...

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

Landscape drivers of scaled quail occurrence across a broad spatiotemporal scale: implications for habitat management

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Combining large‐scale avian surveys with remote sensing products revealed landscape variables that likely limit scaled quail occurrence at the ecoregion scale in Texas. Promoting management practices that address ecoregion‐specific limiting factors may be key to averting further declines.

Representation of potential species ranges under future climate scenarios by a collaborative conservation plan

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We use ecological niche model predictions across the next 3 decades for 263 forest‐dependent, terrestrial, vertebrate species of conservation concern in the Southeastern Appalachians under 4 future climate scenarios. We overlay these predictions with a collaborative conservation plan to determine if the priority map successfully represents potential ...

A strategic method for expanding the Pacific Flyway Motus network

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We identified high‐use areas of the Pacific Flyway by state where new Motus receiving stations would have the highest probability of detecting multiple tagged avian species of interest with the highest certainty. Abstract Understanding the movement and survival of birds of conservation concern during migration is critical for guiding conservation ...

Resident and translocated American black bear movement patterns help identify locations for crossing structures along Interstate 40 in Tennessee and North Carolina

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Bears selected areas with lower percent slope and higher percent canopy, but movement flow across the landscape was more generalized for translocated bears. Interstate 40 was a barrier to movement, but our models predicted several consistent road segments as having higher than average flow where bears might benefit from crossing structures.

Driving Mechanisms of Land Degradation Neutrality at the County Level and Zonal Strategies in the Yellow River's Key Ecological Region (Part II: Post‐Assessment Driver Analysis)

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving land degradation neutrality (LDN) is critical for sustainable socio‐ecological development; however, its practical implementation is often hindered by scale mismatches between assessments and administrative units, coupled with an over‐reliance on static drivers.
