Our results suggest that the proliferation of P. clarkii can lead to a rapid collapse of local amphibian communities and highlight the urgent need for early conservation measures to control its spread. Leer más.
The largest gain falls on agro-forestry systems, the dehesas and montados of the south-west Iberia, which rise by more than 30 percentage points in both countries. Prioritising 13229 km² of roadless land, 2.7% of Spanish territory, would suffice for Spain to meet the objective, whereas Portugal cannot reach it through roadlessness alone. Leer más.
Once validated within a given study system, IRT can provide a practical alternative to traditional methods for monitoring body temperature while reducing disturbance and handling stress that may alter natural thermal behaviour. Leer más.
