DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.3438
Abstract: Landscape composition can strongly affect the delivery of ecosystem services in agroecosystems. Conserving uncultivated habitats can support ecosystem services, but in Mediterranean biomes, these lands can also increase the area susceptible to wildfires. In the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ygcen.2019.113224
Abstract: Glucocorticoid hormones are important intermediates between an organism and its environment. They enable an organism to adjust its behavioural and physiological processes in response to environmental changes by binding to mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) and glucocorticoid… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.zool.2021.125930
Abstract: The silent flight of owls is well known. It has served as role model for the designs of new airplane wings and ventilators. One of the structural features that underlies silent flight is the serrated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-64197-9
Abstract: Inhibition of return (IOR) is the reduction of detection speed and/or detection accuracy of a target in a recently attended location. This phenomenon, which has been discovered and studied thoroughly in humans, is believed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msab343
Abstract: Abstract The combined actions of climatic variations and landscape barriers shape the history of natural populations. When organisms follow their shifting niches, obstacles in the landscape can lead to the splitting of populations, on which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ibi.12593
Abstract: Highway programmes typically focus on reducing vehicle collisions with large mammals because of economic or safety reasons, while overlooking the millions of birds that die annually from traffic. We studied wildlife–vehicle collisions along an interstate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/jn.01166.2015
Abstract: Birds and mammals use the interaural time difference (ITD) for azimuthal sound localization. While barn owls can use the ITD of the stimulus carrier frequency over nearly their entire hearing range, mammals have to utilize… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0220652
Abstract: Interaural time differences (ITD) and interaural level differences (ILD) are physical cues that enable the auditory system to pinpoint the position of a sound source in space. This ability is crucial for animal communication and… read more here.
