Abstract Changes in agricultural practices and forest fragmentation can have a dramatic effect on landscape connectivity the dispersal of animals, potentially reducing gene flow within populations. In this study, we assessed influence woodland traditionally forest‐dwelling species — European roe deer fragmented landscape. From sample 648 spatially referenced study area 55 × 40 km, interindividual genetic distances were calculated from genotypes at 12 polymorphic microsatellite loci. We two...
The delimitation of population units is primary importance in management and conservation biology. Moreover, when coupled with landscape data, the description genetic structure can provide valuable knowledge about permeability features, which often difficult to assess by direct methods (e.g. telemetry). In this study, we investigated structuring a roe deer recently recolonized fragmented landscape. We sampled 1148 individuals from 40 x 55-km area containing several putative barriers...
Most forests in Europe are patchily distributed within the agricultural landscape. Therefore, forest biogeochemistry cannot be understood without considering connectivity of nutrient cycles between patches and fertilized cropland. In this paper, we quantified role roe deer, most widespread wild ungulate Europe, as a vector nitrogen phosphorus from fields to patches, typical landscape southwestern Europe. We derived model transfer data set on deer density, landscape‐use by individual content...
In mammals, species with high sexual size dimorphism tend to have highly polygynous mating systems associated variance in male lifetime reproductive success (LRS), leading a opportunity for selection. However, little information is available weak dimorphism. long-term study population, we used parentage analysis based on 21 microsatellite markers describe, the first time, breeding (LBS) of roe deer, territorial ungulate where males weigh less than 10% more females. LBS ranged from 0 14 (mean...
Abstract For studying the response of bat communities to urbanization in an area southern Mediterranean, acoustic and underground roost surveys were carried out around city Constantine. Echolocation calls 10 species recorded, with 6, 7 9 urban, suburban rural areas, respectively. Pipistrellus kuhlii , P . pipistrellus Tadarida teniotis Hypsugo savii, Miniopterus schreibersii Eptesicus isabellinus detected all three types. Myotis capaccinii was recorded only a site crossed by permanent river....
Abstract Climate change is predicted to drive geographical range shifts that will result in changes species diversity and functional composition have potential repercussions for ecosystem functioning. However, the effect of these on (FD) remains unclear, especially mammals, specifically bats. We used distribution models a comprehensive ecological morphometrical trait database estimate how projected future climate land‐use could influence distribution, composition, FD European bat community....
Abstract Vocal signatures and individual recognition are documented in a wide range of avian mammalian species, but little is known about cervids. However, the existence characteristics cervid vocalizations highly probable, as morphology their vocal organ determines spectral structure uttered signal. Here, we report presence fallow deer groans recorded during rutting period. We digitized 147 from four adult males transformed each them into power spectrum 32 values order to represent...
Abstract Understanding how immune genetic variation is shaped by selective and neutral processes in wild populations of prime importance both evolutionary biology epidemiology. The European roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus ) has considerably expanded its distribution range these last decades, notably colonizing agricultural landscapes. This shift likely to have led bottlenecks increased exposure a new pathogens that until recently predominantly infected humans domestic fauna. We therefore...
Summary Since the early 1980s, greater flamingos Phoenicopterus ruber roseus have been reported to cause damage rice fields of Camargue, south‐eastern France. We tested whether some had landscape features that were more attractive than others, using data from period 1993–97 and 1978 different paddies. Discriminant function analysis (DFA), logistic regression (LR) artificial neural networks (ANN) used identify environmental variables best explaining flamingo incursions. The most accurate...
The Pyrenean desman, a threatened, semiaquatic mammal, is considered specialist predator feeding on aquatic benthic invertebrates. This categorization comes from visual identification of prey in scat or gut contents, often based limited number samples and locations. We combined diet analyses using next-generation sequencing methods with an extensive survey to explore the summer desmans across French Pyrenees. study thus provides unprecedented level detail trophic ecology desmans. Our results...
This study explores two large carnivores, Javan leopard (Panthera pardus melas) and dhole (Cuon alpinus) that are known to have an overlapping diet sympatric in the south-western part of West Java. We characterised their spatiotemporal habitat together with four medium-sized prey species. used photographs collected along 39.420 night-traps from 108 camera-traps installed on peninsula Ujung Kulon National Park (UKNP). using maximum entropy modelling (MaxEnt) investigate seasonal environmental...
Dispersal is frequently more prevalent in one sex compared to the other. Greenwood proposed that patterns of sex-biased dispersal among birds and mammals are linked their mating strategies. For species where males defend resources rather than females, he predicted female-biased dispersal, because should remain at birth site they familiar with distribution must defend. Greenwood's hypothesis has been extensively supported birds, most exhibit a resource-defence strategy. However, almost no...
Abstract The Endangered Corsican red deer Cervus elaphus corsicanus was extirpated from Corsica in the early 1970s, at which time Sardinian population fell to <250 individuals. authorities agreed protect this subspecies and secure its reintroduction Corsica, a natural choice, considering ethological historical descriptions. Since beginning of 1985, when first destined for captive breeding eventual arrived increased 13 founders 106 animals under constant monitoring three enclosures...
Comprehensive knowledge of roosting and foraging ecology is essential for conserving bats. Therefore, the four-year LIFE Nature programme Conservation three cave-dwelling bats in Southern France included an autoecological study Miniopterus schreibersii , a highly gregarious species. In colony 3-5000 adults, 21 females were radio-tracked during pregnancy lactating periods, when some them switched roosts within 30 km radius around maternity colony. Every night, about 6 hours, each bat flew far...
To study the possible role of disease in decline endangered European mink (Mustela lutreola), we conducted a survey antibody prevalence and renal carriage pathogenic leptospira (Leptospira interrogans sensu lato) using serum kidney samples collected from 1990 to 2007 several free-ranging small carnivores farmed American vison) southwestern France.
