The garden dormouse ( Eliomys quercinus ), a native European rodent species, has disappeared from large parts of central and eastern Europe and is considered extinct in some countries. We reviewed national red lists and the available information on the occurrence and distribution of the species in all countries where it was previously reported. The garden dormouse is considered regionally extinct in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, L...
MAMMALS IN PORTUGAL : A data set of terrestrial, volant, and marine mammal occurrences in P ortugalNARA Subscribed
Mammals are threatened worldwide, with ~26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mammals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems functionality and resilience, and therefore information o...
ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS : a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South AmericaNARA Subscribed
Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, and in how climate, topography, and anthropogenic pressures may explain and affect phenotypic variation. Because morphological data are not always available for many species at the local or regional scale, we a...
Deep mitochondrial introgression and hybridization among ecologically divergent vole speciesNARA Subscribed
The completion of speciation is typically difficult to ascertain in rapidly diverging taxa but the amount of hybridization and gene flow in sympatry or parapatry contains important information about the level of reproductive isolation achieved. Here, we examined the progress in speciation between the Mediterranean ( M icrotus duodecimcostatus ) and the Lusitanian pine vole ( M. lusitanicus ), which are part of the most rapid r...
