Seed‐caching rodents play a key role in the ecology of seed dispersal by not only
consuming but also dispersing seeds. Rodent foraging behaviour is usually framed within …

Wildfires are important sources of landscape change in Mediterranean environments,
creating large patches of low-growth natural habitats (ie, scrublands) inside protected areas …

Understanding distributional patterns and mechanisms used by species for habitat selection
is crucial to adopt effective land management policies in terms of biodiversity conservation …

Species range-limits are influenced by a combination of several factors. In our study we
aimed to unveil the drivers underlying the expansion of the Egyptian mongoose in Portugal …

Predators influence the distribution of prey directly if predation reduces local population
density, or indirectly if the presence of predators induces behavioral or physiological …

Using camera-trapping techniques, the present study, conducted from 2005 to 2007,
provides common genet abundance estimates in Serra da Malcata Nature Reserve (central …

In addition to the role of latrine sites as areas for deposition of feces, they may play roles in
territoriality, sexual attraction, warning and defense behaviors, and regulation of …
