Abundance and use pattern of wildcats of ancient human-modified cattle pastures in northern Iberian Peninsula
The wildcat is typically found in low densities. Here, we estimated wildcat abundance in cattle pastures interspersed between forests in northern...

Shedding light on long-term trends in Mediterranean carnivore populations: five species, one scenario, different responses
Long-term studies of community composition and relative abundance are key tools in wildlife management and biodiversity conservation. However, few...

Home range requirements in Bonelli’s eagle (Aquila fasciata): prey abundance or trophic stability?
Prey abundance is one of the limiting factors for establishment a home range. In particular, biomass abundance could act as a key element for...

Citizen science and diet analysis shed light on dog-wildlife interactions in Italy
Domestic dogs Canis familiaris may cause a range of impacts on wildlife through predation, competition, pathogen transmission, harassment and...

Factors sha** distribution and abundance of raptors wintering in two large Mediterranean islands
A growing number of ecological studies suggest that animal distributions are not only influenced by classical ecological features such as habitat...

Environmental factors affecting the wintering raptor community in Armenia, Southern Caucasus
The species–habitat relationships can change during the year because of the seasonality of resources. Therefore, the investigation of habitat use by...

Longitudinal effects of habitat quality, body condition, and parasites on colour patches of a multiornamented lizard
AbstractOntogeny is expected to be a determinant factor affecting production of colour patches in lizards, while immune challenges or sudden weight...

Spatial ecology of the stone marten in an Alpine area: combining camera-trap** and genetic surveys
A species’ potential distribution can be modelled adequately only if no factor other than habitat availability affects its occurrences. Space use by...

Body size and habitat use of the common weasel Mustela nivalis vulgaris in Mediterranean farmlands colonised by common voles Microtus arvalis
Small mustelids such as weasels are highly specialized predators of small rodents. Their diminutive size allows hunting for prey underground, but...

Diffusive dispersal in a growing ungulate population: guanaco expansion beyond the limits of protected areas
Growth of wild ungulate populations within protected areas can cause an expansion towards surrounding non-protected areas and lead to conflicts with...

Indicators of ecological change (IEC) as efficient tools for managing roe deer populations: a case study
Because of the inaccuracies and biases of population estimates for large herbivores, ‘indicators of ecological change’ (IEC), which allow changes in...
