Hybridisation and gene introgression are important sources of diversification, the relevance
of which in the evolutionary processes is well recognised. Their fitness consequences in …

The recovery of many populations of large carnivores and herbivores in major parts of
Europe and North America offers ecosystem services and opportunities for sustainable …

As human activities increase in natural areas, so do threats to wildlife, potentially leading to
immediate and long-term impacts on species distribution, activity, reproduction and survival …

As climate change intensifies and demand for timber rises, forest disturbances are
increasing. Disturbances in forests cause an abrupt loss in canopy cover and increase …

The chamois Rupicapra spp. is the most abundant mountain ungulate of Europe and the
Near East, where it occurs as two species, the northern chamois R. rupicapra and the …

This comprehensive species-specific chapter covers all aspects of the mammalian biology,
including paleontology, physiology, genetics, reproduction and development, ecology …

Aim Understanding the drivers of species distribution ranges and population genetic
structure can help predict species' responses to global change, while mitigating threats to …

Methods for estimating population densities of unmarked species using camera traps are
still under development. One such method is called 'random encounter model (REM)'and, to …

Climate change is known to affect key life‐history traits, such as body mass, reproduction,
and survival in many species. Animal populations inhabiting mountain habitats are adapted …

Studies identifying interspecific competition require the investigation of negative long‐term
effects between sympatric species showing overlap in resource use. A potential for …
