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

Ibis, 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.

Natura 2000

, 2012
In these „polluted” days the most important aims are the environmental protection and the nature conservation in the whole world. People take advantage of the nature without thinking of the consequences in the future. The Nature 2000 network is the key instrument for this protection in the European Union. It is an ecological network of protected areas;

Natura 2000 Benchmark : a comparative analysis of the discussion on Natura 2000 management issues

, 2008
De Vogel- en Habitatrichtlijn zijn de twee Europese richtlijnen om de Europese natuurwaarden te beschermen. De Europese Commissie vindt beide richtlijnen belangrijke instrumenten om de achteruitgang in biodiversiteit in Europa te stoppen. Alle landen van de EU zijn de afgelopen tien jaar bezig geweest met de implementatie van deze twee richtlijnen. Dit

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

Insect 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 ...

Hermit beetle (Osmoderma barnabita) habitat selection and movement are shaped by tree microhabitat availability in Eastern Romanian Carpathians

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We conducted the first radio‐tracking study on Osmoderma barnabita to examine the movement ecology and habitat selection in the Eastern Carpathians. A female recorded the longest movement distance and had larger home ranges than males. It showed a preference for Quercus petraea, with wood mould cavities and DBH as key predictors.

Implications of the first recording of European silver eels Anguilla anguilla in the inland waters of Cyprus

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Migrating silver European eels Anguilla anguilla are reported from the inland waters of the island of Cyprus for the first time, expanding the known geographic range in the Eastern Mediterranean of emigrating adults of this critically endangered, catadromous species.

Early‐life temperature drives recruitment success in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) populations

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Interannual fluctuations in the abundance of young‐of‐the‐year (YOY) European perch (Perca fluviatilis) were studied in two large French peri‐alpine lakes using a 12‐year dataset of late summer hydroacoustic surveys. Previous research has highlighted the importance of temperature.

City of God and the Duty of Just Memory

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract In a recent essay, Richard Miller claims that Augustine presumes a duty to remember justly in his City of God. However, Miller's brief reference to a presumed duty of “just memory” does not fully explain how Augustine conceptualizes this duty or how it relates to his theological concerns.

Klimaatscan Natura 2000 gebieden

, 2009
Provincies hebben behoefte aan een beter inzicht in de mogelijke consequenties van klimaatverandering voor het bereiken van natuurdoelen die in het kader van Natura 2000 gesteld worden. Om zicht te krijgen op de mogelijke consequenties is een aanpak ontwikkeld en toegepast op twee geselecteerde case studie gebieden: de Oostelijke Vechtplassen en de ...

Locally adapted Arabidopsis thaliana accessions show transcriptomic plasticity in a multi‐timescale analysis of whole‐genome gene expression in a natural environment

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Natural Arabidopsis thaliana accessions showed remarkable plasticity in both life‐cycle phenology and whole‐genome gene expression patterns in in natura field experiments. Nevertheless, local adaptation in fitness‐related life‐history traits can also be detected at the whole‐genome gene expression level.
