Abstract Assessing the spatiotemporal overlap amongst animal species living in sympatry helps to shed light on mechanisms of interspecific coexistence. We analysed coexistence a predator–prey system through multiyear camera trapping, mountainous protected area southern Italy (January 2012–January 2017). Temporal activity patterns and their overlap, as well spatial were estimated for top predator, that is wolf Canis lupus , three wild ungulates, four mesocarnivores, one small herbivore,...
In Mediterranean regions, climate change increasingly affect tree species distributions. Conifer forests under continuing disturbance show a more rapid shift to dominance by beech and other temperate broadleaves. Thus, there is an urgent need conserve coniferous vegetation avoid local extinction. Gap opening has profound effects on the structure dynamics of most may represent sustainable way restore ecosystems in habitats. What kind artificial canopy effective means for restoring ecosystem...
Genetic diversity is fundamental to biological diversity, vital for species’ health and adaptation environmental change. Under the recently adopted Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), 196 Parties committed report status of genetic both wild domesticated species. For this, three indicators were developed, two which focus on processes contributing conservation: ensuring that populations are large enough maintain (effective population size Ne 500 indicator) maintaining...
Betula aetnesis entra nella costituzione di formazioni forestali tipo temperato che ebbero, soprattutto durante il Quaternario, un ampio sviluppo anche nell'area mediterranea.Sul vulcano B. non ha una distribuzione uniforme: in proposito Scuderi (1828) riferisce la betulla "vegeta nelle parti alte e settentrionali de' fianchi del nostro vulcano".
