Although different predictive models forecast that climate change will alter the distribution
and incidence of parasitic diseases, few studies have investigated how microclimatic …

The Little Bustard Tetrax tetrax is an iconic species and an indicator of healthy grassland
and farmland ecosystems. It formerly ranged almost continuously from north-western Africa …

In light of global climate change, there is a pressing need to understand how populations
will respond to rising temperatures. Understanding the effects of temperature changes on …

Elevated temperatures can have a range of fitness impacts, including high metabolic cost of
thermoregulation, hence access to microclimate refugia may buffer individuals against …

Monitoring programs are key to determine bird population trends and to assess
environmental policies, and therefore are central to conservation biology. The European …

Over the last two decades, monitoring of and research into the little bustard was carried out
mainly in western Europe, and has enabled the identification of important threats to the …

European grassland birds are experiencing major population declines, mainly due to
changes in farmland management. We analyzed the role of habitat availability, grazing …

Understanding the behaviours and time budgets of translocated animals post‐release has
the potential to improve rearing and release protocols, and therefore survival rate. Otididae …

Los dispositivos de localización que incorporan tecnologías de Sistema de Posicionamiento
Global (GPS) y acelerómetro (ACC), han supuesto un avance muy importante en el estudio …

Accelerometers in animal‐attached tags are powerful tools in behavioural ecology, they can
be used to determine behaviour and provide proxies for movement‐based energy …
