Assessing genetic diversity in a reintroduced Mediterranean griffon vulture Gyps fulvus population to inform long‐term conservation management

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reintroductions play a key role in conservation biology. Their long‐term success strongly depends on maximizing the genetic diversity of founders, as well as on ensuring ecological connectivity with adjacent populations. Accordingly, evaluating the conservation status of reintroduced populations to limit the loss of their genetic diversity requires ...

The oxygen and pressure physiology of upper elevational range limits in insects

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming is widely expected to cause montane insects to shift upslope, and there is good evidence that some populations are doing so. Nevertheless, patterns are mixed—with evidence supporting upslope, downslope or even no movement of both lower and upper range ...

Mechanisms of interference between kahikatea and grey willow in the Waikato [PDF]

, 2010
Research was undertaken to determine the nature of the coexistence between kahikatea and grey willow in the Waikato Ecological Region. Three main questions were investigated. Is grey willow inhibiting recruitment of kahikatea? If this is occurring, which

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...
