Despite its critical conservation status, no formal estimate of the Apennine brown bear (Ursus arctos marsicanus) distribution has ever been attempted, nor a coordinated effort to compile and verify all recent occurrences has ever been ensured. We used 48331 verified bear location data collected by qualified personnel from 2005–2014 in the central...

Il presente manuale è stato prodotto nell’ambito del progetto LIFE STRADE – “Dimostrazione di un sistema per la gestione e riduzione delle collisioni veicolari con la fauna selvatica” (LIFE11BIO/IT/072), cofinanziato dal fondo LIFE della Commissione Europea. Al progetto LIFE Strade, della durata di 4 anni (gennaio 2013-marzo-2017) partecipano le Re...

Aim Roads impact wildlife in different ways, among which road mortality has been the most studied. Budgets in conservation biology are usually small, and macroecological approaches have been employed in recent years as the first steps towards guiding management. Carnivores are particularly vulnerable to mortality on roads due to their elevated ecol...

Collisions with vehicles represent the main conflict between infrastructures and wildlife, causing damages to both humans and animals. As to the latter, road mortality is a growing phenomenon and the largest single cause of death for many vertebrates. When focusing on endangered species, the Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) is among the most vulnerable...

Collisions between wildlife and vehicles represent the main conflict between infrastructures and ecosystems. Road mortality is the largest single cause of death for many vertebrates, representing a growing phenomenon of remarkable dimension. Most studies in road ecology investigated spatial roadkill patterns, showing that roadkill probability is of...

Esercizi svolti QGIS propone un approccio pratico all’utilizzo del software QGIS, attraverso una serie di esercizi ed esempi. Obiettivo più generale è quello di stimolare il lettore a pensare in GIS. Al giorno d’oggi l’informazione geografica ha un ruolo più che centrale in numerose discipline e ambiti lavorativi. Da qui nasce la necessità di an...

The European Journal of Wildlife Research introduces a new Topical Collection focused on Road Ecology. This Topical Collection aims to be a useful tool for the development of generalized principles and applications concerning wildlife-related aspects of Road Ecology. Submissions exploring new or lesser-known costs and potential benefits for wildlif...

In the last decades, wildfires have considerably changed in their frequency, extension, intensity and this is mainly due to climate change and human activities. The year 2017 was particularly significant for the amount of hectares burned in Southern Europe and especially in Italy. Remote sensing has been used to map and monitor wildfires around the...

The growing numbers of road infrastructure have a great impact on biodiversity, such as habitat loss, degradation, fragmentation and roads impacts. The European polecat (Mustela putorius) is a small-sized, elusive and poorly studied carnivore that is often fund along roads. We collected 223 records of polecat road casualties in Italy and analysed t...

L’indice IIE va a completare il set di indicatori comunemente utilizzati per rappresentare la situazione delle infrastrutture viarie di un dato territorio. Esso mette in relazione la distribuzione delle infrastrutture maggiormente occlusive con le aree ad elevata biopermeabilità a scala territoriale. Ciò assume una certa utilità in tutti quei lavor...

Even though telemetry monitoring is an essential tool to investigate a species ecology and to implement conservation actions, until 2014 only bears living in the Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise National Park (PNALM) had actually been GPS-collared. The presence of the female F1.99 in the Natural Reserve Monte Genzana Alto Gizio (RNRMGAG) and the Majella Nat...

The Apennine brown bear is an endemic subspecies distributed in the south-central Italian Apennines, with the center of its core area located in the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park (PNALM). The population is highly threatened by factors directly or indirectly related to human activities, such as poaching, traffic accidents, habitat fragment...

Il ruolo conservazionistico del SIC Monte Genzana va considerato non soltanto in funzione dei suoi valori intrinseci ma anche in funzione del rapporto che esso ha con gli altri SIC e aree protette abruzzesi, in un'ottica di rete, così come auspicato dalla CE che con la definizione di SIC e ZPS, ha puntato a definire una rete ecologica europea, rapp...

Within the framework of the LIFE EX-TRA project (2009-2012) a wolf presence monitoring programme was carried out in the Gran Sasso and Laga Mountains National Park, a protected area of about 150000 ha in central Italy. Research techniques used were wolf-howling and snow-tracking, and in the last two years we started using camera trapping. Field wor...

La valutazione dell’età costituisce una fase importante nel processo di acquisizione ed elaborazione dei dati relativi ad una popolazione animale, necessari per poter impostare ed attuare una corretta gestione della specie considerata e, nelle aree in cui viene praticata la caccia, per poter pianificare il prelievo venatorio e verificarne la corret...

Scarce information is available on the current status of Apennine populations of Alectoris graeca. In this paper, data on re-cent distribution of the species in each Apennine region and data on census in several Apennine areas are reported. In Marche region, the size of population was estimated in 110-137 pairs and maximum density (1.25 pairs/ km 2...

The proposed research describes an index which measures the land sensibility by urbanisation. This index has been developed from a retrospective analysis of the development of settlements where geographical morphology varies significantly. The preliminary study aims at gauging how morphological factors (slope altitude, gradient and aspect) have inf...

La tecnica del foto-video trappolaggio risulta di grande interesse per realtà piccole come le riserve naturali in quanto, con uno sforzo economico ri-dotto e un basso numero di operatori, si possono avere risultati molto significativi. Per tale motivo la Riserva Naturale Monte Genzana Alto Gizio utilizza dal 2008 questi strumenti per l'osservazione...

Environmental fragmentation and habitat reduction are among the most widespread factors that cause biodiversity loss. Transportation infrastructure is the principal element that determines and exacerbates such conditions. The infrastructure system is a barrier to movement for most non-flying terrestrial animals because of obstacles like guard rails...

La Carta Ecosistemica (EcoMap) viene proposta come strumento di descrizione, di valutazione e di registro delle condizioni e delle potenzialità ecosistemiche per il supporto della biodiversità, individuabili in contesti territoriali a scala diversa: locali (comuni o province) o di area vasta. EcoMap interloquisce pertanto con il Piano Strutturale,...

Conference Paper
La frammentazione ambientale influenza negativamente la distribuzione delle specie animali, causando un aumento della probabilità di estinzione a scala locale o, in alcuni casi, globale. Le vecchie tecniche di pianificazione delle aree protette portavano ad una conservazione “per isole” favorendo il processo di frammentazione dovuto alla mancanza d...
