Landscape genetics provides a valuable framework to understand how landscape features
influence gene flow and to disentangle the factors that lead to discrete and/or clinal …

Context Multispecies and multiscale habitat suitability models (HSM) are important to identify
the environmental variables and scales influencing habitat selection and facilitate the …

Coherent ecological networks (EN) composed of core areas linked by ecological corridors
are being developed worldwide with the goal of promoting landscape connectivity and …

Habitat segregation is considered to favour the coexistence of sympatric pine martens
Martes martes and stone martens M. foina, the latter being displaced to agricultural and …

Road mortality is the most noticeable effect of roads on wildlife. Road verges may provide
important refuges for small mammals and rabbits, particularly when roads cross intensive …

We investigated the feasibility of using genetic techniques to census pine marten (Martes
martes) populations by genotyping non-invasively collected samples (plucked hair and …

The relationship among physiological stress responses, fecal marking behavior, and
reproduction in male and female European pine martens was investigated. Between July …

In marginal habitats, populations should reach lower densities, as a consequence of both
lower overall abundance and increasing home range size. To test if recently colonized …

The structure of mesopredators' communities is complex and results from a multidimensional
web of interactions such as top-down and bottom-up regulation or intraguild interactions …
