Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Effects of head-starting on multi-year space use and survival of an at-risk tortoise
Global Ecology and ConservationA major challenge in the recovery of long-lived at-risk taxa like turtles is low juvenile recruitment. Head-starting—the raising of juveniles to larger sizes to improve survival—is one tool that can be used in circumstances where juvenile recruitment is ...

CITES Appendix III: An underused tool for international wildlife trade regulation
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Appendix III of CITES allows Parties to unilaterally extend domestic species protections to international trade, yet it remains vastly underused, covering just 1.3% of listed species. Drawing on the complete historical record since 1975, we show that Appendix III is most effective for endemic species and functions as a highly successful staging ...
