DOES DIET IN LACERTID LIZARDS REFLECT PREY AVAILABILITY? EVIDENCE FOR SELECTIVE PREDATION IN THE AEOLIAN WALL LIZARD, PODARCIS RAFFONEI (MERTENS, 1952) (REPTILIA, LACERTIDAE)

In this paper the invertebrate fauna occurring on Scoglio Faraglione, a tiny Aeolian island (AeolianArchipelago, NE Sicily) inhabited by a population of the critically endangered lacertid lizard Podarcis raffonei(Mertens, 1952), was censused at different seasons and the resulting data were then compared with dataobtained analysing prey Thermal Swit

Maritime decarbonization and strict international regulations have forced liner companies to find new solutions for reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in recent years.Green technology is regarded as one of the most promising alternatives to achieve environmental benefits despite its high initial investment costs.Therefore, a sci

AbstractThis empirical study examines the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in the relationship between FDI and environmental quality for six leading African economies from 1970 to 2020.The second-generation tests are used to determine Mealtime the stationarity level of the variables.Furthermore, the Westerlund panel cointegrat

Few-shot remote sensing scene classification has become a study that has attracted widespread attention and aims to identify new scene classes through one or a few labeled scene images.Nevertheless, due to the existence of unrelated complex background Mealtime in scene images, local descriptors (LDs) that offer a more efficient representation than
