    Landscape determinants of genetic differentiation, inbreeding and genetic drift in the hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius)

    The dispersal process is crucial in determining the fate of populations over time, but habitat fragmentation limits or prevents it. Landscape genetic is an effective tool to assess the degree to which dispersa...

    Population genetic structure and sex-biased dispersal of the hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius) in a continuous and in a fragmented landscape in central Italy

    Habitat fragmentation hinders the dispersal process, which, in turn, causes changes to the genetic variability of populations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of fragmentation on the genetic ...

    Evolutionary history and species delimitations: a case study of the hazel dormouse, Muscardinus avellanarius

    Robust identification of species and significant evolutionary units (ESUs) is essential to implement appropriate conservation strategies for endangered species. However, definitions of species or ESUs are nume...

    Wild boar rooting intensity determines shifts in understorey composition and functional traits

    In recent decades, the European populations of wild boar have grown substantially, as has the impact of this species, owing above all to its rooting activity. Our aim was to investigate the relationships betwe...

    Quantifying Sus scrofa rooting effects on the understorey of the deciduous broadleaf forests in Castelporziano Estate (Italy)

    Wild boar (Sus scrofa) rooting activities may affect several taxonomic groups. In hardwood forests, wild boar’s diet is predominantly represented by plants of the ground layer. We here report a study conducted in...

    Inferring red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) absence with hair tubes surveys: a sampling protocol

    Hair tubes are often used to monitor red squirrel in fragmented landscapes, where presence/absence data are gathered to determine its distribution and factors affecting it. Despite many applications and evalua...
