TL;DR: This attempt for the first time a world-wide evaluation of rodent conservation priorities at the genus level is attempted, highlighting the Philippines, New Guinea, Sulawesi, the Caribbean, China temperate forests and the Atlantic Forest of south-eastern Brazil as the most important ‘threat-spots’ for rodent conservation.

TL;DR: This work provides an account of alien species richness and composition in a remnant Mediterranean coastal wetland of Central Italy and reports evidence of a food chain on three levels, among the most invasive species.

TL;DR: The African spurred tortoise Centrochelys sulcata is the second largest terrestrial turtle, with a scattered distribution across the West African Sahel, but little is known about the causes of its decline as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Two patterns of biological cycle emerged: a temperate pattern in beech forest with winter dormancy and spring reproduction, and a Mediterranean pattern in coastal habitats with autumnal reproduction, winter activity and summer dormancy.
