Spatiotemporal distribution and density of a falconid at an airport offer insights into management plans
Airports can be attractive places for fauna to find food resources, especially for large birds, which can cause severe collisions with aircraft. At...

Long-term biotic homogenization in the East African Rift System over the last 6 million years of hominin evolution
Eastern Africa preserves the most complete record of human evolution anywhere in the world but we have little knowledge of how long-term...

Dynamic home range of the grey-sided vole Craseomys rufocanus: a pilot study
BackgroundKnowledge about home range size is vital to understand social systems and population dynamics of small mammals, as well as dispersal and a...

Cognitive asymmetry in rats in response to emergent vs. disappearing affordances
This study examines the effects of novel environmental changes on the behavior of rats in an experimental chamber. We hypothesized that newly...

Aquatic deoxygenation as a planetary boundary and key regulator of Earth system stability
Planetary boundaries represent thresholds in major Earth system processes that are sensitive to human activity and control global-scale habitability...

Effect of vegetation cover and soil moisture on water repellency persistence of drained peat soils
Peatlands play an essential role in the environment and their conservation requires knowledge of water-related processes. Their hydrophobicity is an...

Informing the design of fish-friendly shoreline retaining walls for freshwater systems
The structural complexity of aquatic habitats is often reduced by the installation of retaining walls designed to stabilize shorelines and decrease...

Combining habitat suitability with simulated movements for the predictive modelling of beaver distribution in Flanders
In Flanders, beavers have reappeared since 2000 and their numbers have expanded rapidly over the last decade, challenging impact management. To help...

Socio-economic and environmental trade-offs in Amazonian protected areas and Indigenous territories revealed by assessing competing land uses
Protected area (PA) assessments rarely evaluate socio-economic and environmental impacts relative to competing land uses, limiting understanding of...

Diurnal activity of terrestrial arthropods in the High Arctic
At high latitudes, where the sun does not set over the horizon for a significant part of the summer, living organisms cannot regulate diurnal rhythms...

Contrasting responses of taxonomic diversity and functional groups of birds to the agricultural landscape of southern Chile
Agricultural landscape heterogeneity, especially the presence of semi-natural habitats, is likely to influence bird diversity positively. In this...

Effects of dietary supplementation of cobiotic based on Agave fructans on growth performance, blood parameters, oxidative damage and immune status of broiler
This study evaluated the effect of cobiotic (CO) composed of organic fructans powder of Agave tequilana and turmeric powder of Curcuma longa L. as an...

Crop-land simplification impacts differently on small mammal communities: evidence from diversity/dominance plots using Barn Owl (Tyto alba) pellets
The land transformation of traditional agro-mosaics into progressively more anthropized crops can trigger changes in small mammal communities. Here,...
