Biology, ecology, and conservation of the Italian hare Lepus corsicanus: a review

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The Italian hare Lepus corsicanus, an endemic lagomorph of Italy, serves as a critical case study in evolutionary biology and conservation. Once taxonomically debated, modern genetic and morphological analyses confirm its status as a distinct Pleistocene lineage restricted to the central‐southern Italian Peninsula and Sicily.

Roaring to Go: Engagement With Positive Reinforcement Training as a Valid and Reliable Indicator of Positive Welfare in Zoo Big Cats

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
A figure summarising the information conveyed by the abstract in graphical form ABSTRACT Engagement with positive reinforcement training is a non‐invasive, easily recorded, and valid indicator of welfare in captive bottlenose dolphins. However, despite the ubiquitousness of training programs in zoo‐housed mammals in accredited zoos, this metric has yet

Research on Self‐Identification Technology of Zero‐Value Insulators in Distribution Lines Based on Electroluminescence Effect

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address the issue of low detection accuracy for zero‐value insulators in distribution lines, this study proposes a novel method for detecting these insulators based on the electroluminescence effect. Through theoretical analysis and experimentation, it was found that the luminescence intensity of ZnS:Cu electroluminescent material varies ...

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Community assembly on inland cliffs is context‐dependent

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Under harsh environmental conditions, community assembly processes are expected to drive pronounced functional convergence, with communities dominated by stress‐tolerant species.
