Climate can exert an effect on the strength of sexual selection, but empirical evidence is limited. Here, we tested whether climate predicts geographic distribution and introgressive spread sexually selected male color ornamentation across 114 populations common wall lizard, Podarcis muralis. Coloration was highly structured landscape did not reflect genetic differentiation. Instead, consistent...

Recent genetic works have suggested that the Iberian wall lizard Podarcis hispanicus (Steindachner, 1870) sensu lato is a species complex. Several forms have already been elevated to species rank and linked to available nomina, but at least three still have to be formally named, including the western Iberian forms currently designated as Podarcis hispanicus "type 1A", "type 1B" and "type 2". Th...

Phytomining is a new promising technique that based on using hyperaccumulating plants which biomass utilized as bio-ore for metal extraction. The Ni-hyperaccumulating species Odontarrhena muralis widely distributed ultramafic soils in Serbia, and could be candidate Ni agromining. In the present study, efficiency of hydrometallurgical process recovery O. wild population through synthesis salts f...

Epiphytic lichens were surveyed in the “Bosco Siro Negri” Integral Nature State Reserve (province of Pavia, Lombardy, NW Italy), which hosts a well-preserved fragment oak-elm floodplain forest (Natura 2000 Habitat 91F0). The core woodland hosted only four species on tree boles, i.e. Lepraria finkii plus specialists Coenogonium pineti, Diarthonis spadicea, and Opegrapha vermicellifera. An additi...
