Jackal movements across all European biogeographic regions

To understand all stages of European jackal natural colonization: arrival, spreading, establishing of survival clusters Golden jackal natural recolonization of southeastern Europe or colonization of all European bio-geographic regions from Mediterranean, Steppic, Panonian to Boreal regions, seems to be characterized by long-distance dispersal pattern (LDD) as suggested in October 2014 during the First International Jackal Symposium (Veliko Gradiste, Serbia). This is not in accordance to short-distance dispersal (SDD) suggested by Fabbri et al in NW Croatia and NE Italy. LDD is a challenge to demonstrate it but a lot of works started and seems that yes the remote area survival reproductive groups are the base for success of establishing new populations out of known range. SDD is typical to invasive alien species and jackal, at least for now, is not an IAS. The Golden jackal invasiveness, should be carefully assessed and in regions with high invasibility degree to be differentiate of the erroneously discussed IAS (invasive alien species) nomenclature, which in case of the Golden jackal was largely assessed by several European research groups and scientific community (European Commission ALERT: Jackal should not be considered as IAS in Europe). ...

Bilingual aphasia: adaptation of the Bilingual Aphasia Test (BAT) to sardinian and study of a clinic...

According to the Associazione Italiana Afasici, there are about 150,000 aphasics in Italy, and every year 20,000 new cases. This pathological process is devastating; in fact, they have lost that feature which makes us unique, namely language. Since, the first case of aphasia described by the French physician Paul Broca in 1861, science has made great strides. Many new theories have been proposed ... [Show full abstract] and have tried to explain how our brain processes language. Particularly, research on bilinguals has become interesting and important for our understanding of the neuroscientific bases of language. In this doctoral thesis, we are going to introduce and discuss, with the help of a clinical case study, one of the most plausible theories which tries to explain how our brain processes language. In addition, we are going to introduce Paradis’ Bilingual Aphasia Test, which we have adapted to Sardinian. It is very important that all languages of an aphasic patient are assessed with an equivalent instrument, not a simple translation of a standardized test from another language. The assessment of only one language is not enough, and in the worst case can even cause negative social and/or clinical results. The assessment of both languages through a standardized bilingual test allows us to compare the two languages and to ascertain which one is impaired and which recovers first and best. Based on these results, the clinician together with the patient’s family can decide which language should be treated.

Roost selection by barbastelle bats ( Barbastella barbastellus , Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) in be...

October 2003 · Hystrix

The barbastelle bat, Barbastella barbastellus (Schreber, 1774) is a medium-sized, tree-dwelling vespertilionid classified as ?Endangered? in Italy; in western Europe it may be one of the rarest bat species. B. barbastellus shows roosting preferences that should be regarded as a key point in conservation protocols. We examined roost selection in a breeding population of B. barbastellus from the ... [Show full abstract] Abruzzo Lazio and Molise National Park (central Italy) at three levels: woodland structure and management type; tree characteristics; and cavity characteristics. In 2001-2002, we fitted 31 adult B. barbastellus (29 lactating females, one pregnant female and one male) with 0.48g radio-tags and tracked them to their roost-trees. The bats were tracked for 4.5 ± 3.7 days (range: 0-12 days). We located 33 roosts used by 25 subjects (1.8±1.2 roosts/bat, range 1-5). The bats switched roosts frequently: 13 bats used more than one tree over the study period. A chi-square analysis showed that the roosts were not distributed at random across woodland categories: unmanaged woodland was positively selected, whereas shelterwood-harvested woodland was used in proportion to its availability, and ?pastures+scattered trees? was avoided. Twenty out of 33 roost trees were dead Fagus sylvatica trees; conversely, living F. sylvatica dominated in a tree sample obtained at random; dead trees were used more than expected (Χ² test, P <0.001). Overall, roost trees were significantly taller and had a larger diameter at breast?s height and more cavities than random trees; they also had a lower percent canopy closure than random trees. To highlight which variables were actually associated with selection, we devised a logistic regression model. The full model was significant (P <0.001); removal of tree type and tree height affected the model significantly, but the other variables did not produce detectable effects. The bats roosted under loose bark in 20 of 27 trees, i.e. more frequently than expected (Χ² test, P < 0.05). B. barbastellus preferred cavities at a greater height (median roost height = 10.1 m, n = 22; median random cavity height = 4.5 m, n = 30; Mann-Whitney test, P < 0.01). Most roosts faced south (63.6% south facing: 91-270 degrees; 36.4% north facing: 271-90 degrees, n = 22; Χ² test, P < 0.05). A logistic regression model including cavity type, height above ground and direction faced was significant (P <0.01) and all variables were important for selection. B. barbastellus is probably unable to find suitable roosting sites where intensive and non-selective logging is conducted: areas of ancient woodland should be protected to ensure optimal roosting conditions. In roosting areas, felling operations should be avoided as far as possible; in logged areas, selective timber harvesting protocols preserving dead trees and a significant fraction of mature trees should be adopted. We are indebted to the Nando Peretti Foundation and the Parco Nazionale d?Abruzzo Lazio e Molise for funding our work.
