Spatial, Temporal, and Host-Specificity Patterns of Three Genera of Blood Coccidian Parasites in Two Syntopic Mediterranean Lizards. [PDF]
Integr ZoolOur results indicated that the three genera of blood parasites found in the two species of lizards studied can exhibit distinct epidemiological patterns across microgeographic and temporal scales. ABSTRACT We investigated the phenological variation of three genera of blood parasites of lizards (Schellackia, Karyolysus, and Lankesterella) using samples ...

Unveiling the Evolutionary History of European Vipers and Their Venoms From a Multi-Omic Approach. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Snake genomes attract significant attention from multiple disciplines, including medicine, drug bioprospection, and evolutionary biology. However, genomic research within the Viperidae family has mostly focused on the subfamily Crotalinae, while the true vipers (Viperinae) have largely been overlooked.

Farmland abandonment and season drive scavenging dynamics in livestock-rewilded landscapes. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Farmland abandonment occurs commonly across European mountain regions, which causes triggering of habitat encroachment through shrub regeneration and natural afforestation. However, its impact on vertebrate scavenger communities and ecological processes, such as the removal of small carcasses remains poorly understood.

The Secret of Secrets: Carbonic Anhydrase Concentration in Lizards' Femoral Gland Secretions Is Tuned to Environmental Conditions. [PDF]
Ecol EvolLizard scent‐marks bear proteins known to work as enzymes, like Carbonic anhydrase, which has been hypothesized to play a homeostatic role by stabilizing the secretion's internal environment. We found that CA concentration varies according to climate‐related gradients in Psammodromus algirus, supporting the idea that CA helps maintain the effectiveness

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2023, Issue 11-12, November/December 2023., 2023 Brood parasites are expected to lay only one egg per parasitized nest, as the existence of several parasitic nestlings in a brood increases competition and can lead the starvation of some of them. However, multiparasitism (laying of two or more eggs by one or more parasitic females in a single host nest) is surprisingly frequent.

Geographical patterns of warehousing facilities in the Cape functional region, South Africa
Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 15, Issue 6, Page 1317-1338, August 2023., 2023 Abstract Despite improvements in the deployment of a geographical lens in logistics studies, more research is required on the connections between spatial planning policy and the positioning of warehousing facilities. This paper aims to analyze the locational patterns of warehousing facilities in the Cape functional region, South Africa.

Geoarchaeology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 482-509, July/August 2023., 2023 Abstract The Monforte de Moyuela dam, also known as Ermita de la Virgen del Pilar dam, is a Roman reservoir built on a tributary of the Aguasvivas River (Ebro basin, Spain). A multidisciplinary study has been carried out to investigate this kind of Roman water infrastructure. It is the fifth‐highest dam (16.8 m) in the Iberian Peninsula and the seventh

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 1779-1792, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Pinewood decline and scrubland expansion are major features of Late Holocene vegetation history in the Cantabrian Range. However, the drivers of this remarkable vegetation shift remain to be investigated. Here, we aim at disentangling the role of past land use and climate in shaping the high‐elevation Cantabrian landscape during the past ...
