ABSTRACT The ectoparasites of introduced rodents in mainland New Zealand forests include several species of cosmopolitan flea that may be important in the population dynamics and future biocontrol of rodents. We describe a 2‐rodent, 2‐flea system that showed little change over 20 years.

Demographic performance review of a reintroduction project: Iberian lynx in Extremadura
Demographic performance reviews are essential for understanding the drivers of population growth and for evaluating the outcomes of reintroduction initiatives. IPMs as exemplified by our Iberian lynx case study provide a powerful and flexible framework for quantifying reintroduction performance and addressing key research and management questions.

Perspectives on conservation grazing: The need for monitoring and communication
We compiled detailed data on the pattern of conservation grazing at Ainsdale Sand Dunes National Nature Reserve over 23 years. This recovered data shows how patterns of conservation grazing (timing, duration, frequency and intensity) have changed over time, demonstrate the value of hidden data sources and the importance of collaboration between ...

Enzymatic Treatment of Lignin in Alkaline Homogeneous Systems: A Review on Alkaliphilic Laccases
This review summarizes the enzymatic treatment of lignin in alkaline homogeneous systems, with a focus on alkaliphilic laccases. Unlike native laccases that promote lignin polymerization under acidic conditions, these enzymes work in basic pH, where industrial lignins are soluble.

Causes of Mortality and Disease in Rabbits and Hares: A Retrospective Study
In this study we determined the causes of mortality and disease in a total of 325 lagomorphs (rabbits and hares) in northern Spain between 2000 and 2018. Risk factors such as the species, age, sex, time of year and origin were also considered.

The recognition of individual variation has fundamental implications for ecological, evolutionary and biodiversity conservation. There is increasing theoretical interest in how spatial and temporal variation in the environment can create differences in the demographic contribution of individuals over space and time. However, empirical information about
