Habitat determines the effects of wild ungulate grazing on soils: case studies from the Iberian Peninsula Open
Background and Aims The bidirectional relationship between plants and their soils can be disrupted by the influence of ungulate grazers. Indeed, herbivores affect plant productivity and above-ground community structure, and plants affect s…

Spectral indices to evaluate the physiological response of Mediterranean shrubs to browsing Open
Herbivory by large ungulates may cause important physiological and spectral changes in plants, which may serve as ecological indicators of herbivore overabundance. This study examines the physiological and spectral response of plants to re…

Overabundant populations of large wild herbivores disrupt plant–pollinator networks in a Mediterranean ecosystem Open
Large herbivores are keystone species, so changes in their population abundance can have cascading effects on ecosystems. Over the last decades, many species of deer (Cervidae) have experienced unprecedented densities across many areas of …

Blastocystis in free-ranging wild ruminant species across the Iberian Peninsula Open
The growing wild ungulate populations across Europe represents an increasingly important source for the spread of zoonotic pathogens. Blastocystis is a common intestinal protist observed in humans and animals worldwide. Studies on Blastocy…

Analysis of the Dual Use of Electronic Cigarettes and Conventional Tobacco According to the Survey on Alcohol and Other Drugs in the General Population in Spain (EDADES 2022) Open
Introduction: Electronic nicotine delivery systems may lead to challenges for public health. This study described the use of electronic cigarettes (EC) and dual consumption in the Spanish population. Material and Methods: Descriptive cross…

Fatal babesiosis in a free-ranging iberian wolf co-infected with Hepatozoon canis and Leishmania infantum: Epidemiological implications for the cantabrian wolf population Open
Health surveillance of large carnivores, such as the Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus), allows the early detection of emerging and established pathogens in natural environments, due to their position in the top of the food chain. In 2022…

Preliminary Evaluation of an Automated Blood Cell Analyzer for Its Use with Blood Samples from Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss Open
Hematological studies provide essential information about the health of animals, which is crucial for veterinary medicine, scientific research, and aquaculture. Automatic hematological analyzers are an alternative to manual methods, offeri…
View article: Predicting fiber content in herbivore fecal samples using a multispecies NIRS model
Predicting fiber content in herbivore fecal samples using a multispecies NIRS model Open
Fiber is essential for rumen health, microbial fermentation, and the energy supply of herbivores. Even though the study of fecal fiber contents (neutral detergent fiber NDF, acid detergent fiber ADF, and acid detergent lignin ADL) using ne…

Emerging priorities in terrestrial herbivory research in the Arctic Open
Herbivores are an integral part of Arctic terrestrial ecosystems, driving ecosystem functioning and sustaining local livelihoods. In the context of accelerated climate warming and land use changes, understanding how herbivores contribute t…

Neutral Impact of Cattle Grazing in Pyrenean Oak Forests Integrity Open
The combination of logging, burning, and livestock farming has been the main driver of European landscape sustainability for thousands of years. Whether or not livestock could keep these habitats on their own is under debate when extensive…
View article: Three steps for assessing adult lungworm burden in small ruminants
Three steps for assessing adult lungworm burden in small ruminants Open
Lungworm infections, also known as verminous pneumonia, are caused by various nematodes affecting wild and domestic ruminants worldwide. Lung nematodes also decrease reproductive fitness, body weight, and general animal performance. Since …
View article: Blastocystis occurrence and subtype diversity in European wild boar (Sus scrofa) from the Iberian Peninsula
Blastocystis occurrence and subtype diversity in European wild boar (Sus scrofa) from the Iberian Peninsula Open
The ongoing increase of wild boar populations across Europe has fostered human-wildlife conflicts, including the transmission of emerging pathogens with zoonotic importance. Blastocystis is a ubiquitous, faecal-oral transmitted protist tha…

Between conflict and reciprocal habituation: Human-wild boar coexistence in urban areas Open
Urbanization is an ongoing global environmental change. Wildlife may respond using anthropized environments and resources, which is known as synurbization, creating human-wildlife interactions. Wild boar (Sus scrofa) populations have becom…
View article: Direct counts underestimate mountain ungulate population size
Direct counts underestimate mountain ungulate population size Open
The topography of mountain habitats limits the accuracy of methods to assess the population size of mountain ungulates. This fact hampers decision-making for monitoring and conservation purposes and thus any attempt to evaluate the precisi…

Annual short-burst mass anthelmintic administration reduces tuberculosis severity but not prevalence in a wildlife reservoir Open
Introduction Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC), is an important disease in both human and animal systems. Helminths are commonly found in coinfection with MTC and TB is often exacerbated in such coin…

Assessing the epidemiological risk at the human-wild boar interface through a one health approach using an agent-based model in Barcelona, Spain Open
Wild boar (WB, Sus scrofa) populations are increasing in urban areas, posing an epidemiological risk for zoonotic pathogens such as hepatitis E virus (HEV) and antimicrobial-resistant Campylobacter (AMR-CAMP), as well as non-zoonotic patho…
