Abstract Grotta Maggiore di San Bernardino, located at an altitude of 135 m asl in the Berici
Hills in northeastern Italy, is an archaeological site with a discontinuous sedimentary …

This review takes a broad perspective on mammalian invasions and considers genetic
aspects of both natural colonisation and conservation-related translocations as a backdrop …

This work focus on evolution of small mammals assemblages in the Italian peninsula during
Upper Pleistocene and on the analysis of differences between synchronous faunas of …

Several alpine vertebrates share a distribution pattern that extends across the South-
western Palearctic but is limited to the main mountain massifs. Although they are usually …

Abstract The Early Pleistocene is an epoch where wide environmental changes, driven by
climate instabilities, were registered by multiple lines of evidence in different …

Small mammals are just as likely to become extinct as larger species, although the latter
receive disproportionate attention with respect to conservation activity and research. We …

The study of faunal communities of the past, and how they have changed to become what
they are now, is fundamental to the understanding of the changes in ecosystems that we are …

We report a synopsis of the small mammals of Albania (Erinaceomorpha, Soricomorpha,
Rodentia), outlining both new records and previously published data. Twenty-four species …

The potential zoogeomorphological impacts of burrowing animals, via soil excavation and
spatial redistribution, creation of landforms, and bioturbation are now well established. Here …

We explored modularity and morphological integration of the ventral cranium during
postnatal ontogeny in Martino's vole (Dinaromys bogdanovi). Two closely related …
