Changing food availability and its effect on the heritability of offspring size in woodland passerine birds

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Vatka et al. investigated how changing food abundance affects evolutionary potential of offsprings' body size traits in two woodland passerines. Food availability increased over the 25‐year‐long study period, accompanied by increases in body mass.

Taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a Mediterranean coastal area: implications for dune conservation in a long‐term ecological research eLTER site

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a protected coastal dune system in Central Italy, revealing strong ecological associations between moth assemblages and dune zonation. Differences in species composition and trait attributes, along with the presence of habitat‐exclusive species, highlight the role of ...

The Wind of Change: Mapping Wind Energy Growth and Multi‐Species Vulnerability in Sardinia, Mediterranean

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
The rapid expansion of wind energy across the Mediterranean region calls for more advanced tools to assess and mitigate its impacts on biodiversity. In this study, we present an innovative approach combining 13‐year satellite imagery analysis and ecological modelling, to assess the spatiotemporal overlap between wind energy development and habitat ...
