Wetland location and captive breeding influence trans‐Mediterranean movements in the endangered Marbled Duck (<i>Marmaronetta angustirostris</i>) Open
Waterbirds distributed in semi‐arid and arid regions seem to have adapted their behaviour to the availability and seasonality of wetlands, increasing their mobility range. The Marbled Duck Marmaronetta angustirostris is a threatened waterb…

Carrion ecology in inland aquatic ecosystems: a systematic review Open
Carrion ecology, i.e. the decomposition and recycling of dead animals, has traditionally been neglected as a key process in ecosystem functioning. Similarly, despite the large threats that inland aquatic ecosystems (hereafter, aquatic ecos…

Blind shots: non‐natural mortality counteracts conservation efforts of a threatened waterbird Open
Waterbirds are particularly affected by the high hunting pressure they face in many regions, which in some cases is compromising conservation actions for threatened species. The marbled teal Marmaronetta angustirostris is one of the most e…

Predation impact on threatened spur-thighed tortoises by golden eagles when main prey is scarce Open
A reduction in adult survival in long-living species may compromise population growth rates. The spur-thighed tortoise ( Testudo graeca ) is a long-lived reptile that is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation. Golden eagles ( Aquila …

Scavenger guild and consumption patterns of an invasive alien fish species in a Mediterranean wetland Open
Invasive Alien Species (IAS) alter ecosystems, disrupting ecological processes and driving the loss of ecosystem services. The common carp Cyprinus carpio is a hazardous and widespread IAS, becoming the most abundant species in many aquati…

Functional traits driving species role in the structure of terrestrial vertebrate scavenger networks Open
Species assemblages often have a non‐random nested organization, which in vertebrate scavenger (carrion‐consuming) assemblages is thought to be driven by facilitation in competitive environments. However, not all scavenger species play the…

From troubles to solutions: conservation of Mediterranean tortoises under global change Open
Chelonians are among the animal groups with the poorest conservation status. Since tortoises are long-lived species that need very long time to reach sexual maturity, they are extremely vulnerable to human pressure. Despite their endangere…
