The order Decapoda, comprising over 17,000 extant marine species, has maintained a significant association with human societies since ancient times. This prolonged interaction initially centered on their role as a food source, subsequently expanding...
Mount Falakro in Northern Greece historically hosted populations of the Balkan-endemic butterfly Polyommatus orphicus and its larval host plant Onobrychis alba. In this study, we surveyed six historically confirmed localities during the peak flight p...
Phytophthora species are known as water molds and are widespread in rivers and riparian habitats, but the distribution of these oomycetes in coastal and sea ecosystems is not well explored. The present study aims to investigate salt tolerance and pot...
Pea crabs live in association with various marine invertebrates, particularly notable for their parasitic relationship with numerous bivalves of great economic importance. During a genetic study of mussel populations on the French Atlantic coast, the...
Hydropower plants have significant impacts on aquatic biodiversity, particularly on migratory fish species. Effectively managing these impacts requires a comprehensive understanding of fish reproduction and recruitment within altered river systems, w...
Within biogeographic regions, local communities are structured mainly by abiotic (environmental) filtering, external resource supply, and biotic interactions. In recent years, we investigated abiotic filtering and external resource supply as drivers...
With the purpose of understanding the trophic relationships between three herbivores that use humid high-mountain grassland and evaluating a possible interspecific competition between them and depending on the importance of the hydromorphic vegetatio...
Semi-natural grasslands are key biodiversity reservoirs in Mediterranean mountain ecosystems. Grazing pressure may significantly influence plant communities and soil conditions, with potential effects on ecosystem functioning. This study evaluated th...
Our study was conducted in the Valle Nuevo National Park and included four habitat classes: tussock grass (Sabapa), pine forest (Pinoc), broadleaf forest (Boslat), and agricultural ecosystem (Ecoag). We had two main objectives: to comparatively descr...
Beech forests in the Italian peninsula are actively managed and they also support a high level of biodiversity. Hence, biodiversity conservation can be synergistic with timber production and carbon sequestration, enhancing the overall economic benefi...
