Pathogens in the garden dormouse Eliomys quercinusNARA Subscribed
Wild rodents are important reservoirs and vectors of various pathogens, and play a crucial role in the spread of zoonotic pathogens. The garden dormouse ( Eliomys quercinus ), an arboreal nocturnal rodent species native to Europe, has declined throughout much of its natural range in recent decades. The reason for this ongoing decline is not yet fully understood, but infectious diseases may play a role. This study aimed to revi...
Age-specific effects of density and weather on body condition and birth rates in a large herbivore, the Przewalski’s horseNARA Subscribed
Reproduction in young females can show a particularly sensitive response to environmental challenges, although empirical support from individual-based long-term studies is scarce. Based on a 20-year data set from a free-roaming Przewalski’s horse population ( Equus ferus przewalskii ), we studied effects of large-herbivore density (horses + cattle) and weather conditions experienced during different life stages on females’ ann...
Wedge-top basins represent useful tectonic elements for the characterisation of the evolution of their underlying accretionary wedge in space and time, as their final state of deformation sums up the bulk shortening and structural instability conditions of the wedge. Here, we present the geometric and kinematic patterns of deformation structures deforming the wedge-top Epiligurian basins of the Northern Apennines (Italy). Our...
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a gut-brain disorder of multifactorial origin. Evidence of disturbed serotonergic function in IBS accumulated for the 5-HT 3 receptor family. 5-HT 3 Rs are encoded by HTR3 genes and control GI function, and peristalsis and secretion, in particular. Moreover, 5-HT 3 R antagonists are beneficial in the treatment of diarrhea predominant IBS (IBS-D). We previously reported on functionally relevant...
The olive tree is one of the most important crops in the Mediterranean basin. Given the strong climatic influence on olive trees, it becomes imperative to assess climate change impacts on this crop. Herein, these impacts were innovatively assessed, based on an ensemble of state‐of‐the‐art climate models, future scenarios and dynamic crop models. The recent‐past (1989–2005) and future (2041–2070, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) olive growin...
