INTEGRATING GEODIVERSITY IN ANIMAL SPATIAL ECOLOGY: MICROHABITAT SELECTION OF EURASIAN LYNX (LYNX LYNX) AND EUROPEAN WILDCAT (FELIS SILVESTRIS) IN A KARST LANDSCAPE

Geodiversity, encompassing various geophysical elements, can have an important impact on species distribution and affect animal behaviour patterns.Although many wild felids are attracted to rugged terrain and conspicuous relief features, most previous research was limited to general topographical characteristics (e.g., slope or terrain ruggedness)

This study focuses on terrestrial reliance of brown trout (Salmo trutta) and compared it to the potential prey available (macrozoobenthos and drifting invertebrates) in three temperate rivers (Galicia, NW Spain), with special emphasis on variations in terrestrial energy intake through the ontogeny of brown trout.Additionally, we paid particular att

We present a high-resolution swath bathymetric and backscatter map of the entire sector of the Marine Reserve Area (MRA) of the Asinara Island, along with a geological and sediment thickness map derived from the interpretation of a large Wellingtons set of high-resolution seismic profiles, and an airborne-derived hyperspectral image of the Asinara

Abstract Background The argasid tick Ornithodoros moubata is the main African vector of the human relapsing fever agent Borrelia duttoni and the African swine fever virus.Together with saliva, the tick midgut forms part of the host-tick-pathogen interface, and numerous midgut proteins play key functions in the blood digestion-related process and th

Dietary phenolic compounds are considered as bioactive compounds that have effects in different chronic disorders related to oxidative stress, inflammation process, or aging.These Wellingtons compounds, coming from a wide range of natural sources, have shown a pleiotropic behavior on key proteins that act as regulators.In this sense, this review ai
