Duck Tales: Spatio‐temporal dynamics of habitat use and prey relationships of a diving duck and its implication for conservation management

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Shows the spatiotemporal predictability of wintering eiders based on monitoring data from 1993–2023 with intertidal and subtidal Marine Protected Areas (yellow and green, respectively), and a depiction of the current mismatch between eider hotspots and protection measures. Abstract Migratory animals often follow predictable spatiotemporal distributions

Comparing Methods for Measuring Predation: Toward a Quantitative–Informative Indicator of Natural Pest Control

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Predation methods vary widely in their ability to quantify biological control. Estimating predation rates (the number of prey killed per predator per time unit) is crucial. Combining predation rates with predator abundance yields real‐time field estimates of pests consumed.

Ripple Effects: Social Turmoil Following Infant Kidnapping Attempts in Wild Geladas

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract illustrating the social consequences of infant kidnapping in wild geladas (Theropithecus gelada). The study monitors a 28‐day period divided into a 14‐day pre‐kidnapping phase and a 14‐day post‐kidnapping phase. ABSTRACT Infant kidnapping is an extreme social disruption reported in some primate species, yet its consequences on social

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper I shortly discuss the essential qualities that seem to be attributed to the senses by (most) philosophers. These qualities I believe to be the following: subjectivity, potentiality, indirectness, passivity, receptivity, peripherality, factuality, concreteness (of objects), variety, usefulness and uncertainty.

Exploring the exploration: implications of leaving or remaining at the natal site during the early stages of independence in a partially migratory bird

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Despite being an important fraction of any animal population, juveniles are a severely understudied group. Juveniles often need to learn an array of skills that allow them to survive independently and do so while undertaking decisions that may impact their fitness, recruitment and survival, having therefore relevant demographic implications.

Priority areas for arthropod conservation in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands: Insights from a multi‐taxon distributional database

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Using over 416,000 occurrence records from 13 arthropod groups (6233 arthropod species), we mapped large‐scale richness patterns and identified biodiversity hotspots across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Hotspot congruence among arthropod groups was low, underscoring the importance of integrative, multi‐taxon approaches for conservation ...
