Human‐induced landscape modifications and climate change are forcing wildlife into closer contact with humans as the availability of natural habitats decreases. Although the importance of anthropogenic structures for the conservation of species is widely recognized, negative narratives surrounding bats may impede conservation efforts in human‐dominated landscapes. We conducted a global systematic literature review to summarize...

Tropical and subtropical dry woodlands are rich in biodiversity and carbon. Yet, many of these woodlands are under high deforestation pressure and remain weakly protected. Here, we assessed how deforestation dynamics relate to areas of woodland protection and to conservation priorities across the world's tropical dry woodlands. Specifically, we characterized different types of deforestation frontier from 2000 to 2020 and compa...

Using artificial tracer tests, this study confirms the presence of a single basal aquifer feeding the springs in the wide and complex hydrogeological boundary of the Sibillini Mountains of central Italy. The tracer was introduced into the sinkhole of the Castelluccio di Norcia plain. The tracer test results, observed at the studied springs, highlight the changes induced by the 2016/2017 earthquake in the water circulation of t...

High‐resolution monthly temperature climatologies for Italy are presented. They are based on a dense and quality‐controlled observational dataset which includes 1484 stations and on three distinct approaches: multi‐linear regression with local improvements ( MLRLI ), an enhanced version of the model recently used for the Greater Alpine Region, regression kriging ( RK ), widely used in literature and, lastly, local weighted lin...

In this work we present a homogenized high‐resolution data set composed of 200 daily precipitation series spanning the last 90 years, located over an area centred on the Trentino—South Tyrol region (central part of the European Alps), in a transition zone between the climates of the southern and northern slopes of the Alps. We analysed the trends of total precipitation (TP), wet days (WD) and average intensity (PI), as well as...

This work presents a novel method for estimating missing values in daily precipitation series. It is aimed at identifying the event time location with good accuracy and reconstructing the correct amount of daily rainfall. In addition, the statistical properties of the time series, i.e. both probability distribution and long‐term statistics, are preserved. The completion method is based on a two‐step algorithm that uses informa...
