The importance of population contextual data for large-scale biomonitoring usin...
Ratajc, Urška; Lourenço, Rui; Espín, Silvia; Sánchez-Virosta, Pablo; Birrer, Simon; Studler, Dani; Wernham, Chris; Vrezec, AlTop predators are often used as sentinel species in contaminant monitoring due to their exposure and vulnerability to persistent, bioaccumulative and, in some cases, biomagnificable contaminants. Some of their ecological traits can vary in space and time, and are known to influence the contamination levels and therefore information on ecological traits should be used as contextual data for correct interpretatio...
Ecophysiological dissimilarities of two sympatric lizards
Osojnik, Nadja; Žagar, Anamarija; Carretero, Miguel A.; García-Muñoz, Enrique; Vrezec, AlThe lizards Podarcis muralis and Iberolacerta horvathi display an overall similarity in morphology and ecology. Although they are widely sympatric in part of their distribution range of Slovenia, areas of altitudinal segregation have been observed. Ecophysiological traits such as preferred body temperatures (T p ) and rates of evaporative water loss (EWL) are some of the factors likely to be subjacent to this p...
