Abstract Aim Understanding colonization dynamics is crucial for management of invasive species. We compare the genetic structure historical (Central Europe) and recent (Spain) populations with native captive North American raccoon ( Procyon lotor ). Our aim was to analyse effects age on population structure, understand role individuals as potential founders test rivers dispersal Location America, Spain, Central Europe. Methods genotyped wild‐caught raccoons from Spain Europe N = 596), zoos...
In hot environments, where many species seek shade to decrease their heat load at midday, sexual differences in sensitivity could lead different patterns of shelter use males and females, constituting a segregation mechanism. sexually size-dimorphic living these areas, the larger have more difficulties dissipating body reducing evaporative water loss. This occurs great bustard ( Otis tarda ), most bird. A previous study showed correlation between summer temperature breeding areas northward...
Abstract. A critical aspect of predicting soil organic carbon (SOC) concentrations is the lack available information; where information on characteristics available, it usually focused regions high agricultural interest. To date, in Chile, a large proportion SOC data have been collected areas intensive or forestry use; however, vast beyond these forms land use few no available. Here we present new database for country, which result an unprecedented national effort under framework Global Soil...
The wildland–urban interface lies at the confluence of human-dominated and wild landscapes—creating a number management conservation challenges. Wildlife sightings near human settlements have appeared to increase in last years. This article reports 51 records presences, sightings, livestock attacks Puma concolor, large-sized felid, collected from 2012 2020 across O’Higgins region central Chile. were concentrated east Andes Range foothills (90%). puma is higher four six years than previously...
Abstract The introduction of mammal predators has been a major cause species extinctions on oceanic islands. Eradication is only possible or cost-effective at early stages invasion, before introduced become abundant and widespread. Although prevention, detection rapid response are the best management strategies, most islands lack systems for detecting, responding to monitoring species. Wildlife managers require reliable information guide, assess adjust actions. Thus, large-scale long-term...
Conservation biologists have questioned the effectiveness of Natura 2000 network in conserving farmland birds. The Lesser Kestrel population SPA ES435 Área esteparia de la margen derecha del río Guadarrama and surrounding areas increased by 11.8% between 1997–1999 2019. However, loss nesting sites due to building collapse or restoration, foraging habitat, such as fallow land field margins, agricultural intensification, spread woody crops solar photovoltaic power stations threaten this...
The Egyptian mongoose Herpestes ichneumon (Linnaeus, 1758) is the only species of family Herpestidae that occurs naturally in Europe. It was restricted to SW Iberian Peninsula from where it seems be expanding last decades. However, information on distribution and recent trends some areas, such as central Spain (e.g. Castilla - La Mancha region), scarce. With aim updating Spain, particularly this area, we 1) performed a systematic questionnaire survey environmental rangers, 2) collected...
Natural habitats in South America have been intensively used and modified, including their conversion to exotic tree plantations, impacting the terrestrial fauna communities. Carnivores play an important role functioning of ecosystems as apex predators. Landscape characteristics resource availability determine composition abundance co-occurring carnivores. We hypothesized that diversity relative native carnivores varied relation different vegetation macrohabitats. predicted forests support a...
Abstract. One of the critical aspects in modelling soil organic carbon (SOC) predictions is lack access to information which usually concentrated regions high agricultural interest. In Chile, most and SOC data date highly 25 % territory that has intensive or forestry use. Vast areas beyond those forms land use have few no available.

We expose the contingency plan developed by Chilean Agriculture and Livestock Service (SAG) O'Higgins region, with support of National Zoo professional volunteers, in were 20 individuals (10 male 10 female) Liolaemus confusus, a Critically Endangered species, preventive rescued from their type locality Los Robles hills, Lolol, to preserve species imminent destruction menace unique habitat population, due forestry fire that surrounded restricted distribution area, during January 2017.
Liolaemus confusus es una especie endémica de la Región O'Higgins, Chile, descubierta y registradasolamente en su localidad tipo: Cerro Los Robles, Comuna Lolol, con extensión presenciaestimada solo 5 km², lo que determinó clasificarla un estado conservación En Peligro Críticode Extinción. Aquí describimos nuevo registro para esta especie, permite ampliar 20kilómetros distribución lineal desde tipo, hacia comuna Santa Cruz, actualizar suárea a 37 km² ocupación 11 km².
