Journal ArticleDOI
Colour polymorphism in birds: causes and functions
TL;DR: Findings support the hypothesis that colour polymorphism probably evolved under selective pressures linked to bird detectability as affected by variable light conditions during activity period as well as selective agents may be prey, predators and competitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The value of rice fields as substitutes for natural wetlands for waterbirds in the Mediterranean region.
Mauro Fasola,Xavier Ruiz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the use of rice fields by waders, gulls, terns, ducks and herons in Italy, Spain, France, Greece and Portugal where this cultivation is most prevalent in certain restricted areas is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of elevated egg corticosterone levels on behavior, growth, and immunity of yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) chicks.
Diego Rubolini,Maria Romano,Giuseppe Boncoraglio,Raffaella Paola Ferrari,Roberta Martinelli,Paolo Galeotti,Mauro Fasola,Nicola Saino +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that egg corticosterone can affect the behavior and immunity of offspring in birds and disclose a mechanism mediating early maternal effects whereby stress experienced by females may negatively translate to offspring phenotypic quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis B and C virus infection, alcohol drinking, and hepatocellular carcinoma: A case‐control study in Italy
Francesco Donato,A. Tagger,Roberta Chiesa,M.L. Ribero,Vincenzo Tomasoni,Mauro Fasola,Umberto Gelatti,G. Portera,P Boffetta,Giuseppe Nardi +9 more
TL;DR: Positive interactions (synergisms) between both HBsAg positivity and HCV RNApositivity and heavy alcohol intake were found, suggesting more than additive effects of viral infections and alcohol drinking on the risk of HCC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human exposure to toxic metals via contaminated dust: Bio-accumulation trends and their potential risk estimation.
Jawad Mohmand,Syed Ali Musstjab Akber Shah Eqani,Mauro Fasola,Ambreen Alamdar,Irfan Mustafa,Nadeem Ali,Liangpo Liu,Siyuan Peng,Heqing Shen +8 more
TL;DR: Bioaccumulation patterns showed that dust exposure is one of the major routes into human body for Cd, Pb, Co, Mn and Cr, while the burden of Zn, Cu, and Ni can be more linked to dietary sources.
