Haemosporidian Infection Risk Variation Across an Urban Gradient in a Songbird

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Avian haemosporidian community composition of a songbird was assessed across an urbanization gradient. Broad urban‐associated land use changes corresponded with reduced host‐specialist parasites and reduced prevalence of avian parasites. Select local habitat characteristics and vector abundance may present additional risks for infection prevalence ...

Structuring the Prison Life Index Through Value Focused Thinking Methodology

Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Volume 32, Issue 1, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Building a composite index (CI) is a task that requiring a series of decisions, the consequences of which will determine the scope of the tool. This is especially true for the very first steps of this construction: the definition of the theoretical framework and the selection of relevant indicators, usually referred to as the construction of ...

Mechanisms matching timing to resources: comparisons of closely related seasonally sympatric, migratory and non‐migratory populations

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 2, March 2025.
As day length increases in spring, birds prepare to migrate and breed, relying on timing mechanisms shaped by selection to match their behavior and physiology to ecological conditions suitable for reproduction. As the climate changes these mechanisms will determine how successful birds will be in keeping up.

Spatial and Temporal Relationships Between Roe and Red Deer in an Alpine Area

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
The roe deer and red deer are two species that are widely distributed in alpine environments. We used camera traps to investigate whether red deer relative abundance affects roe deer occupancy probability and whether the two species exhibit patterns of temporal segregation.

Gaps in the protection of the amphibians of Myanmar—threat status, endemism, protected area coverage and One Plan Approach conservation 缅甸两栖动物保护之不足——受威胁状况、特有性、保护区覆盖范围及“一揽子保护计划”（One Plan Approach）

Integrative Conservation, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 353-367, December 2024.
The One Plan Approach to Conservation of the International Union for Conservation of Nature highlights the importance of combining on‐site conservation actions with captive breeding efforts. Among vertebrates, amphibians are one of the groups with the highest proportion of species threatened with extinction.

Haemosporidian infections are more common in breeding shorebirds than in migrating shorebirds

Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 4, Page 1354-1367, October 2024.
Migrating animals are thought to be important spillover sources for novel pathogens. Haemosporidians (malaria‐related parasites) are one such group of pathogens that commonly spillover into novel host communities if competent vectors are present. In birds, shorebirds (sandpipers, plovers and allies) perform some of the longest avian migrations, yet ...

Spatiotemporal plasticity of prey selection in the wolf

Journal of Zoology, Volume 324, Issue 2, Page 118-127, October 2024.
We reported prey selection by the wolf in two European areas hosting abundant populations of wild ungulates (Słowiński National Park, Poland; Maremma Regional Park, Italy). In both areas, wolves selected the locally most abundant species (red deer in Poland; wild boar in Italy).

High temperatures reduce growth, infection, and transmission of a naturally occurring fungal plant pathogen

Ecology, Volume 105, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Climate change is rapidly altering the distribution of suitable habitats for many species as well as their pathogenic microbes. For many pathogens, including vector‐borne diseases of humans and agricultural pathogens, climate change is expected to increase transmission and lead to pathogen range expansions.

Testing extinction events and temporal shifts in diversification and fossilization rates through the skyline Fossilized Birth‐Death (FBD) model: The example of some mid‐Permian synapsid extinctions

Cladistics, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 282-306, June 2024.
Abstract In the last decade, the Fossilized Birth–Death (FBD) process has yielded interesting clues about the evolution of biodiversity through time. To facilitate such studies, we extend our method to compute the probability density of phylogenetic trees of extant and extinct taxa in which the only temporal information is provided by the fossil ages ...
