The current and rapid anthropogenic environmental changes could disproportionately
impact ecosystems, particularly when they affect species with critical roles in ecosystem …

Connectivity between golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) populations is poorly understood.
Field studies exploring natal dispersal suggest that this raptor is a philopatric species, but …

We would like to retract the Report “Asymmetric remote C–H borylation of aliphatic amides
and esters with a modular iridium catalyst”(1) after discovering that the reported …

Determining factors that shape a species' population genetic structure is beneficial for
identifying effective conservation practices. We assessed population structure and genetic …

Stability and long-term persistence of a species rely heavily on its genetic diversity, which is
closely allied to its capacity for adaptation. In threatened species, population connectivity …

Dispersal, defined as movement an individual makes from one breeding population to
another, is a process that strongly influences the population dynamics of many animal …

We studied genetic diversity and differentiation in island and nearby continental populations
of a bird of prey, the common kestrel Falco tinnunculus. We sampled 11 islands in the …

The Scàndula Nature Reserve (SNR), both terrestrial (919 ha) and marine (664 ha), was
established in 1975. The marine part of the SNR includes a No-Take Zone (82 ha) where …

Anthropogenic pressures on nature have been causing population declines for centuries.
Intensified persecution of apex predators, like the golden eagle, resulted in population …

The history of human colonisation in the Mediterranean has long been recognised as a
crucial factor influencing biodiversity patterns in southern Europe. Nonetheless, our …
