Landscapes nearby glaciers are disproportionally affected by climate change, but we lack detailed information on microclimate variations that can modulate the impacts of global warming proglacial ecosystems and their biodiversity. Here, use near-subsurface soil temperatures in 175 stations from polar, equatorial alpine glacier forelands to generate high-resolution temperature reconstructions, assess spatial variability change 2001 2020, estimate whether heterogeneity might buffer severity...
Most of the world’s mountain glaciers have been retreating for more than a century in response to climate change. Glacier retreat is evident on all continents, and rate has accelerated during recent decades. Accurate, spatially explicit information position glacier margins over time useful analyzing patterns measuring reductions surface area. This also essential evaluating how ecosystems are evolving due warming attendant retreat. Here, we present non-comprehensive dataset showing multiple...
To estimate the predictive role of faecal haemoglobin (f-Hb) concentration among subjects with immunochemical test (FIT) results below positivity cut-off for subsequent risk advanced neoplasia (AN: colorectal cancer-CRC-or adenoma).Prospective cohort aged 50-69 years, undergoing their first FIT between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2010 in four population-based programmes Italy.All adopted same analytical procedure (OC Sensor, Eiken Japan), performed every 2 on a single sample, (20 µg Hb/g...
Summary The development of terrestrial ecosystems depends greatly on plant mutualists such as mycorrhizal fungi. global retreat glaciers exposes nutrient‐poor substrates in extreme environments and provides a unique opportunity to study early successions fungi by assessing their dynamics drivers. We combined environmental DNA metabarcoding measurements local conditions assess the succession communities during soil 46 glacier forelands around globe, testing whether drivers differ between...
Ice-free areas are expanding worldwide due to dramatic glacier shrinkage and undergoing rapid colonization by multiple lifeforms, thus representing key environments study ecosystem development. It has been proposed that the dynamics of deglaciated terrains is different between surface deep soils but heterogeneity communities inhabiting decreases through time. Nevertheless, tests this hypothesis remain scarce, it unclear whether patterns consistent among taxonomic groups. Here, we used...
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a major form of anthropogenic pollution, disrupting nocturnal wildlife behaviour and ecosystem function. Large construction sites are typically located the intersection urban natural areas, introducing intense lighting into previously dark habitats. This study examines responses bats to nighttime site associated with linear transport infrastructure (LTI) project. We used passive acoustic monitoring record bat activity species richness in adjacent areas...
Abstract Citizen science has become a crucial tool in biodiversity monitoring, often facilitated by the diffusion of mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. High costs professional equipment limit large-scale particularly bat monitoring programmes based on acoustic surveys. Here we present potential using devices for allowing large-scale, volunteer-based programmes. We initially compared devices’ performance with detector recording low-frequency calls. then conducted citizen pilot...
Abstract Introduction Screening programs for colorectal cancer (CRC) are mainly based on a first-line fecal immunochemical test hemoglobin (FIT). Fecal M2-type pyruvate kinase (M2-PK) has been evaluated in clinical settings showing promising results early CRC detection. However, the impact of M2-PK assessment performance first-round screening is not known. We investigated whether alone or combination with FIT may improve efficacy general population. Materials and methods A total 1027...
Abstract The worldwide retreat of glaciers is causing a faster than ever increase in ice‐free areas that are leading to the emergence new ecosystems. Understanding dynamics these environments critical predicting consequences climate change on mountains and at high latitudes. Climatic differences between regions world could modulate biodiversity functionality after glacier retreat, yet global tests this hypothesis lacking. Nematodes most abundant soil animals, with keystone roles ecosystem...
Megaprojects radically change the landscape due to their large-scale and high investments. Forests are often one of most affected habitats, as they frequently included in megaproject construction sites. These habitats support rich animal communities that new settlement may threaten. Among all species present any site, those listed Habitats Directive (92/43/CEE) deserve particular attention protected throughout Europe. Here, we a case study related expansion an industrial part Turin–Lyon...
Abstract Mechanisms underlying plant succession remain highly debated. A global quantification of the relative importance species addition versus replacement is lacking due to local scope most studies. We quantified their role in variation communities colonizing forelands 46 retreating glaciers distributed worldwide, using both environmental DNA and traditional surveys. Both mechanisms concur determining community changes over time but varied along successions. Taxa predominated immediately...

Ice-free areas are increasing worldwide due to the dramatic glacier shrinkage and undergoing rapid colonization by multiple lifeforms, thus representing key environments study ecosystem development. Soils have a complex vertical structure. However, we know little about how microbial animal communities differ across soil depths development stages during of deglaciated terrains, these differences evolve through time, whether patterns consistent among different taxonomic groups. Here, used...
Since climate change impacts are already occurring, urgent adaptive actions necessary to avoid the worst damages. Regional authorities play an important role in adaptation, but they have few binding guidelines carry out strategies and plans. Sectoral measures strongly differ between regions; therefore, specific results for each territory needed. Impacts often not exhaustively reported by literature, dataset models, thus making it impossible objectively identify measures. Usual expert...
