Geological Substrate Is Related to Tooth Senescence and Population Dynamic: The Case Study of Alpine Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

Weekend Overload: Day‐to‐Day Fluctuations of Outdoor Recreation Affect Wild Mammals' Space‐Use in a Popular Forest Reserve Near Florence, Italy

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an urban‐adjacent forested area, we investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of the wild mammal community in relation to day‐to‐day fluctuations of human presence occurring between working days and weekends. We deployed 52 camera‐traps systematically within an EU Natura 2000 area located within the metropolitan area of Florence, central ...

Beyond the Individual: Multisite Population‐Level Consequences of Road Mortality on a Declining Mammal

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We used a comparative study design to quantify population densities, structure, survival, cause‐specific mortality and female productivity in four West‐European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) populations, and to forecast the impact of road mortality on population viability.

Tipping the Scales Using Cryopreservation: Modelling the Genetic Value and Management Potential of Integrated Cryopreservation for Threatened Ex‐Situ Pupfish Populations

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract depicts the number of additional fish that would be required to achieve 90% genetic diversity for endangered pupfish species housed in EAZA collections, with or without the use of cryopreserved material. ABSTRACT Zoos and aquaria must retain genetic diversity for the species they house if the populations are to remain viable ...

The market presence of cooperative banks and stability in European banking: New evidence

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Most studies examining differences between cooperative banks (CBs) and other banking institutions rely on bank‐level data, thereby overlooking effects of the market presence of CBs on banking market structures. To address this gap, we test whether CB's domestic market share predicts national banking stability (Z‐scores) using a unique panel ...
