MORPHOLOGICAL CORRELATES OF PREY CONSUMED BY PODARCIS MELISELLENSIS (BRAUN, 1877) AND P. SICULUS (RAFINESQUE, 1810) (SAURIA, LACERTIDAE) FROM TWO MAINLAND REGIONS IN THE EASTERN ADRIATIC AREA

Morphological correlates of prey consumed by Podarcis melisellensis (Braun, 1877) and P. siculus (Rafinesque, 1810) (Sauria, Lacertidae) from two mainland regions in the eastern Adriatic area

The correlation between trophic utilization and morphology was studied for two lizard species (Podarcis melisellensis and P.siculus) from two mainland localities in the eastern Adriatic area; this is the first report of trophic and morphometric data for P.melisellensis from mainland populations.Variance partitioning showed that most of the variatio

Postfire biodiversity database for eastern Iberia

Abstract In the summer of 2012, two fires affected Mediterranean ecosystems in Ceramic Ornament the eastern Iberian Peninsula.The size of these fires was at the extreme of the historical variability (megafires).Animals are traditionally assumed to recolonize from source populations outside of the burned area (exogenous regeneration) while plants re
