The paper examines how wolf recolonisation affects prey species interactions and group behaviour in alpine ungulates.

This study examines the genomic makeup of modern Italian Alpine valleys, showing they retain ancient Neolithic ancestry and show microgeographic genetic subclusters shaped by isolation and drift.

The paper uses stable isotope analysis to quantify isotopic niche differentiation among Alpine ungulates, revealing functional segregation despite dietary overlap.

This study examines how red deer balance proactive and reactive antipredator behaviors in response to human hunting, showing that proaction dominates in predictable risk scenarios while reaction becomes critical when risk is unavoidable.

The paper reassesses E. multilocularis prevalence in red foxes in Alto Adige using qPCR, finding higher true prevalence and better diagnostic performance compared to CMPCR.

The paper develops a microsatellite toolkit and reference database to trace the geographic origin of confiscated Hermann’s tortoises and assess illegal translocations.
