Road verges ensure connectivity for small mammals: a case study with wood mouse...
Aalantinho, Ana; Herrera, José M.; Eufrazio, Sofia; Silva, C; Carvalho, F; Alpizar-jara, R; Mira, ARoads disrupt landscape connectivity for many terrestrial mammals. These infrastructures can be barriers to movement thereby threatening population persistence. Nonetheless, small mammals may use road verges as habitat or corridor, thus increasing migration across intensively managed landscapes. However, in well-preserved habitats where road verges show a similar vegetation structure to surrounding areas, their...
Distribution of alien tetrapods in the Iberian Peninsula
Ascensão, F; D'Amico, M; Martins, R; Rebelo, R; Barbosa, M; Bencatel; Santos, Sara Maria; Mira, A; Mathias, ML; Tiago, PWe present a dataset that assembles occurrence records of alien tetrapods (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) in the Iberian Peninsula, a coherent biogeographically unit where introductions of alien species have occurred for millennia. These data have important potential applications for ecological research and management, including the assessment of invasion risks, formulation of preventive and managemen...
Increased 30-Day Mortality in Very Old ICU Patients with COVID-19 Compared to P...
Guidet, B; Jung, C; Flaatten, H; Fjølner, J; Artigas, A; Bollen Pinto, B; Schefold, J; Beil, M; Sigal, S; Vernon van Heerden, P; Szczeklik, WPurpose: The number of patients ≥ 80 years admitted into critical care is increasing. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) added another challenge for clinical decisions for both admission and limitation of life-sustaining treatments (LLST). We aimed to compare the characteristics and mortality of very old critically ill patients with or without COVID-19 with a focus on LLST. Methods: Patients 80 years or older ...

Road verges as habitat for the Cabrera vole: a vegetation analysis
Santos, Sara M.; Mathias, ML; Mira, A; Simões, M PaulaThe Cabrera vole (Microtus cabrerae Thomas 1906) is a threatened rodent showing a fragmented distribution in the Iberian Peninsula. Although specific microhabitat requirements have been pointed out for the species, road verges are sometimes occupied. The aim of this study is the identification and comparison of the floristic composition between road verge and meadow colonies. Vegetation was sampled in 26 coloni...
