👏 Congratulations to Mario Crespo Montalbán on the success of his master's thesis 🎓 focused on a metapopulation analysis of the invasive exotic ant Lasius neglectus 🐜 in its Iberian distribution. 🌟 We wish you all the best in your future career.

🪲 The larvae of an enigmatic and rare neotropical aquatic beetle are described for the first time, and a phylogenetic analysis is carried out to study the relationships between this group of related beetles. arthropod-systematics.arphahub.com/article/1507...

⚠️ 64% of the global distribution area of 257 carnivores overlaps with highly humanised areas. 🌄 Protected areas and conservation measures 🔍 must be expanded. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Global scale assessment of the human-induced extinction crisis of terrestrial carnivores

Conservation lands and human-affected biomes with quality habitats are vital for the persistence of carnivores worldwide.

New insights into aggregation behaviour and parent-offspring communication in amphibians: Tadpoles increase aggregation time in the presence of chemical stimuli from attending females, but not in response to those from males or non-attending females. doi.org/10.1111/aec.... @zaiortega.bsky.social

Mother Chemical Stimulus and Aggregation Behaviour of Tadpoles in a Neotropical Foam‐Nesting Frog

The tadpoles of the neotropical foam-nesting frog, Leptodactylus macrosternum, are escorted by an attending female. We found that tadpoles only increased the time of aggregation in the presence of th...

Check out the opinion on the grey wolf (Canis lupus) in Kazakhstan in the latest article co-authored by Andres Ordiz. Neutral/positive opinions on wolf presence in the country change to negative due to wildlife value orientations, fear and knowledge of wolf behaviour when wolves and humans coexist.
