Freshwater megafauna, such as sturgeons, giant catfishes, river dolphins, hippopotami,
crocodylians, large turtles, and giant salamanders, have experienced severe population …

Ecosystem response to climate change is complex. In order to forecast ecosystem dynamics,
we need high-quality data on changes in past species abundance that can inform process …

Freshwater ecosystems are some of the most biodiverse habitats, but they are among the
most endangered due to human activities. In this context, beavers represent a nature‐based …

Several biotic and abiotic interactions will contribute to riparian ecosystem changes. The
impact of Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) on woody vegetation is still unknown for the …

The expansion of beavers into human-dominated landscapes can help improve the
ecological status of degraded streams. This study aimed to assess the changes in the …

Obesity is a disease of complex and multifactorial nature characterized by the interplay of
genetic and environmental factors. The prevailing consensus suggests that obesity arises …

Ecosystem engineers, such as the Eurasian beaver, Castor fiber, transform habitats, thereby
creating favourable conditions for other species and increasing biodiversity. Multiple studies …

As known “ecosystem engineers”, beavers influence river hydrology, geomorphology,
biochemistry, and biological assemblages. However, there is a lack of research regarding …

The influence of ecosystem engineers on habitats and communities is commonly
acknowledged in a site-bounded context, ie in places directly affected by the presence of the …

In mountainous watersheds, floodplain sediments are typically characterized by gravel bed
layers capped by an overlying soil unit that serves as a hotspot for biogeochemical reactivity …
