He trained in Pisa and Genoa, Italy, and has held major positions in Italian oncology since 2000. He currently has more than 300 publications, including papers in peer-reviewed international and national journals, book chapters, and more than 600 abstracts of presentations to international and national conferences. The majority of his papers regard clinical and translational research, with a particular focus on metastatic colorectal cancer. Dr Lisa Salvatore is a medical oncologist in the Department of Translational Research and New Technologies in Medicine and Surgery at the University of Pisa. She has been an author on about 40 publications in major peer-reviewed publications and has made numerous presentations in national and international conferences. Her main interest is focused on clinical and translational research in metastatic colorectal cancer
The influence of food abundance patterns and predation on breeding ducks with a special emphasis on the interactions between ducklings and fish
No full textDucks breeding in Fennoscandia represent a large part of the total population in Europe, and variations in reproductive success can affect continental population trajectories. It is therefore essential to understand processes affecting breeding success. In this thesis I have looked at temporal and spatial food abundance patterns and how these influence breeding ducks. Egg laying and hatching are often assumed to coincide with peaks in available food. No such peak in food abundance was evident in a boreal catchment based on six years of data. Even without clear food abundance peaks, changes in spring arrival can still lead to suboptimal breeding. I have investigated the importance of spring arrival and its effect on spring phenology and breeding success in two dabbling ducks (teal and mallard). Both species can change breeding time in response to variations in spring arrival; however, early springs have a negative effect on teal. Total food abundance is also important, and fish are known to reduce invertebrates, thus potentially affecting survival of ducklings. In a descriptive study I was able to illustrate that fish reduce the availability of invertebrate prey. Fish also reduce the number of breeding ducks, which is probably a result of competition although pike predation on ducklings can also be of importance. To investigate the effects of pike predation, I introduced adult pike to two lakes that were previously fishless. The number of pairs that settled was not affected by pike, but the subsequent breeding success was reduced significantly. The negative impact of pike on breeding ducks is likely to favour adaptations of anti-predator behaviour. In experimental trials, naïve ducklings recognised and responded to calls from predatory birds. They did not, however, avoid pike, although they displayed a very strong response to simulated pike attacks. They ran on the water, scattered and reassemble far from the initial attack. The lack of identification appears to be compensated by the ability to respond instantly to threat and thus reduce losses
