Telomere Length Is Determined by Intrinsic Factors and Is Shortened During Drought Years in <i>Gallotia galloti</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Telomere dynamics in ectotherms remain poorly understood relative to endotherms, yet are increasingly relevant in the context of climate change. Here, we used model‐averaged GLMMs and hierarchical partitioning to disentangle intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of relative telomere length in the Western‐Canaries Lizard (Gallotia galloti) across a 10‐year ...

Unveiling the Evolutionary History of European Vipers and Their Venoms From a Multi-Omic Approach. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT 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 Appl
Abstract 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 Evol
Lizard 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

Multiparasitism and repeated parasitism by the great spotted cuckoo Clamator glandarius on its main host, the magpie Pica pica: effects on reproductive success, nest desertion and nest predation

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.
