| potential of pest regulation by insectivorous birds in mediterranean woody crops. | regulation of agricultural pests managing their natural enemies represents an alternative to chemical pesticides. we assessed the potential of insectivorous birds as pest regulators in woody crops located in central spain. a total of 417 nest boxes installed in five field study sites (one vineyard, two fruit orchards, and two olive groves) were monitored for use and breeding of insectivorous birds and other species for four consecutive years (2013-2016). at all field sites except the two olive g ... | 2017 | 28877166 |
| effects of both a melatonin agonist and antagonist on seasonal changes in body mass and energy intake in the garden dormouse. | many physiological functions including nycthemeral rhythm, reproductive cycles, body temperature and body mass are controlled by photoperiodic changes in different species. in the hibernating garden dormouse, both energy intake and body mass increase with the duration of the night. this seasonal mass gain is spontaneous and reversible. | 1996 | 8817360 |
| an attempt to correlate brain areas containing melatonin-binding sites with rhythmic functions: a study in five hibernator species. | high affinity melatonin-binding sites have been described, by means of autoradiography with 2-125i-melatonin as the ligand, in more than 60 brain areas of about 20 mammalian species, with dramatic variations in the nature and number of labelled structures among the different species studied. as melatonin is involved in the synchronization of biological rhythms, we have tried to correlate the brain areas containing melatonin-binding sites with some rhythmic functions typical of given species. the ... | 1994 | 7954706 |
| long-term data from a small mammal community reveal loss of diversity and potential effects of local climate change. | climate change affects distribution and persistence of species. however, forecasting species' responses to these changes requires long-term data series that are often lacking in ecological studies. we used 15 years of small mammal trapping data collected between 1978 and 2015 in 3 areas at doñana national park (southwest spain) to (i) describe changes in species composition and (ii) test the association between local climate conditions and size of small mammal populations. overall, 5 species wer ... | 2017 | 29492011 |
| dietary lipids affect the onset of hibernation in the garden dormouse (eliomys quercinus): implications for cardiac function. | dietary lipids strongly influence patterns of hibernation in heterotherms. increased dietary uptake of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas), particularly of linoleic acid (la, c18:2 n-6), enables animals to reach lower body temperatures (tb), lengthens torpor bout duration, and results in lower energy expenditure during hibernation. conversely, dietary n-3 pufa impacts negatively on hibernation performance. pufa in surrounding phospholipids (pls) presumably modulate the temperature-dependent ... | 2018 | 30279661 |
| review of records of hymenolepidids (eucestoda: hymenolepididae) from dormice (rodentia: gliridae) in europe, with a redescription of armadolepis spasskyi tenora & baruš, 1958 and the description of a. genovi n. sp. | armadolepis (armadolepis) spasskyi tenora & baruš, 1958 is redescribed on the basis of the type-series consisting of the holotype from the garden dormouse eliomys quercinus (linnaeus) (type-host) and a paratype from the forest dormouse dryomys nitedula (pallas); the occurrence of this species in the fat dormouse glis glis (linnaeus) cannot be confirmed due to the lack of specimens from this host species both in the type-series and other studied samples. the main corrections in the diagnostic cha ... | 2020 | 31933036 |
| morphological divergence in giant fossil dormice. | insular gigantism-evolutionary increases in body size from small-bodied mainland ancestors-is a conceptually significant, but poorly studied, evolutionary phenomenon. gigantism is widespread on mediterranean islands, particularly among fossil and extant dormice. these include an extant giant population of eliomys quercinus on formentera, the giant balearic genus †hypnomys and the exceptionally large †leithia melitensis of pleistocene sicily. we quantified patterns of cranial and mandibular shape ... | 2020 | 33143584 |
| the ratio of linoleic and linolenic acid in the pre-hibernation diet influences nfκb signaling in garden dormice during torpor. | the fatty acid composition of a pre-hibernation diet can influence the depth and duration of metabolic suppression achieved by hibernators. more specifically, a diet high in n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) relative to n-3 pufas is essential to maximize torpor expression. however, few studies have investigated how diets with different n-6/n-3 pufa ratios change stress-inducible cell signaling. garden dormice (eliomys quercinus) were fed one of three diets designed with different ratios of ... | 2020 | 32528974 |
| gimme shelter: the effect of rocks and moonlight on occupancy and activity pattern of an endangered rodent, the garden dormouse eliomys quercinus. | information on spatial behaviour and temporal activity patterns is paramount for the conservation of animal species. this is particularly true for endangered taxa that are threatened by ongoing climatic and environmental changes. the garden dormouse eliomys quercinus is a native european rodent (family gliridae), whose populations are declining throughout the continent. notwithstanding this, neither international nor national laws explicitly require mandatory monitoring of populations. as a resu ... | 2020 | 31730883 |
| implications of being born late in the active season for growth, fattening, torpor use, winter survival and fecundity. | for hibernators, being born late in the active season may have important effects on growth and fattening, hence on winter survival and reproduction. this study investigated differences in growth, fattening, energetic responses, winter survival and fecundity between early-born ('eb') and late-born ('lb') juvenile garden dormice (eliomys quercinus). lb juveniles grew and gained mass twice as fast as eb individuals. torpor use was low during intensive growth, that are, first weeks of body mass gain ... | 2018 | 29458712 |
