Whole-genome analyses provide no evidence for dog introgression in Fennoscandian wolf populations. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2021 Abstract Hybridization and admixture can threaten the genetic integrity of populations and be of particular concern to endangered species. Hybridization between grey wolves and dogs has been documented in many wolf populations worldwide and is a prominent example of human‐mediated hybridization between a domesticated species and its wild relative.

The Genetic Variability of Present-Day Bulgarians Captures Ancient and Recent Ancestral Contributions. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Objectives Thanks to its pivotal crossroad position, Bulgaria played a fundamental key role during all the migration processes that interested the continent through time. While the genetic variability of the country has been deeply investigated using uniparental markers, previous genome‐wide autosomal‐based surveys mainly consisted of wider ...

Wolverine denning behaviour and its implications for monitoring reproductive females
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2023, Issue 4, July 2023., 2023 Knowledge about the number of reproductive females is important for monitoring population dynamics, and can be critical for managing human–wildlife conflicts. For wolverines Gulo gulo, counts of reproductive females is the basis for estimates of population size in Scandinavia, as well as a key measure for compensation payments to Sámi reindeer‐herders ...

Population, Space and Place, Volume 28, Issue 3, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Health inequalities—systematic differences in health outcomes between social groups and across spatial units—are ubiquitous, but not necessarily inevitable. They are the product of a complex interplay of social and economic processes operating at various scales.

Higher circulating EGF levels associate with a decreased risk of IgE sensitization in young children
Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Decreased exposure to microbial agents in industrialized countries and urban living areas is considered as a risk factor of developing immune‐mediated diseases, such as allergies and asthma. Epithelial surfaces in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts and in the skin constitute the primary areas in contact with the ...

Immunological resilience and biodiversity for prevention of allergic diseases and asthma
Allergy, Volume 76, Issue 12, Page 3613-3626, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Increase of allergic conditions has occurred at the same pace with the Great Acceleration, which stands for the rapid growth rate of human activities upon earth from 1950s. Changes of environment and lifestyle along with escalating urbanization are acknowledged as the main underlying causes.

Boreas, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1095-1115, October 2021., 2021 Murtoos are recently discovered triangular‐shaped subglacial landforms that form under warm‐based ice and in association with significant subglacial meltwater flow. They appear in distinct fields and commonly occur in the area that was covered by the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet during glacial periods.

Connecting the data landscape of long‐term ecological studies: The SPI‐Birds data hub
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 90, Issue 9, Page 2147-2160, September 2021., 2021 SPI‐Birds is a global‐scale initiative that creates meta‐data and data standards for data collected in populations of uniquely marked individuals that are followed over years. The authors host data on nearly 1.5 million birds collected over cumulative 2000 years.

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 446-461, February 2021., 2021 Abstract Most Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) populations follow an anadromous life cycle, spending early life in freshwater, migrating to the sea for feeding, and returning to rivers to spawn. At the end of the last ice age ~10,000 years ago, several populations of Atlantic salmon became landlocked.

Population and distribution of beavers Castor fiber and Castor canadensis in Eurasia
Mammal Review, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 1-24, January 2021., 2021 A century ago, overhunting had reduced Eurasian beaver Castor fiber populations to c. 1200 animals in scattered refugia from France to Mongolia. Reintroductions and natural spread have since restored beavers to wide areas of their original range. The population has more than tripled since the first modern estimate in 1998, to c. 1.5 million.
