Resource partitioning and interspecific competition in snakes: the search for general geographical and guild patterns
- L. Luiselli
- Biology
- 1 August 2006
The role of interspecific competition as a key factor in the ecology of natural communities where species exploit limited resources is well established, and the study of competition dynamics in snake… Expand
The conservation status of the world's reptiles
Effective and targeted conservation action requires detailed information about species, their distribution, systematics and ecology as well as the distribution of threat processes which affect them.… Expand
Are snake populations in widespread decline?
- C. Reading, L. Luiselli, +7 authors L. Rugiero
- Biology, Medicine
- Biology Letters
- 23 December 2010
Long-term studies have revealed population declines in fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. In birds, and particularly amphibians, these declines are a global phenomenon whose causes are… Expand
Conflict between insect conservation and public safety: the case study of a saproxylic beetle (Osmoderma eremita) in urban parks
- G. Carpaneto, Adriano Mazziotta, G. Coletti, L. Luiselli, P. Audisio
- Biology
- Journal of Insect Conservation
- 4 March 2010
Urban parks can harbour small populations of saproxylic insects of high conservation concern, such as Osmoderma eremita and other rare beetles. These areas often host old trees which have become very… Expand
Interspecific relationships between two species of sympatric Afrotropical water snake in relation to a seasonally fluctuating food resource
- L. Luiselli
- Biology
- Journal of Tropical Ecology
- 21 December 2005
In this paper, the ecological relationships and the resource partitioning patterns in a two-species system of sympatric aquatic snakes (Grayia smythii and Afronatrix anoscopus) from a riverine forest… Expand
Food niche overlap between sympatric potential competitors increases with habitat alteration at different trophic levels in rain-forest reptiles (omnivorous tortoises and carnivorous vipers)
- L. Luiselli
- Biology
- Journal of Tropical Ecology
- 20 October 2006
Comparisons of sympatric reptile species were used to assess the variation in niche overlap for food between potential competitors at different trophic levels. Omnivorous tortoises and carnivorous… Expand
Broad geographic, taxonomic and ecological patterns of interpopulation variation in the dietary habits of snakes
- L. Luiselli
- Biology
- 6 June 2006
Abstract. Because of their unique morphological and ecological characteristics (i.e. being obligate carnivorous, solitary, and ingesting their prey whole), snakes are expected to show unusual dietary… Expand
Best practices: in the 21st Century, taxonomic decisions in herpetology are acceptable only when supported by a body of evidence and published via peer-review

Reproductive output, costs of reproduction, and ecology of the smooth snake, Coronella austriaca, in the eastern Italian Alps
- L. Luiselli, M. Capula, R. Shine
- Biology, Medicine
- Oecologia
- 1 April 1996
A 5-year mark-recapture study of smooth snakes (Coronella austriaca) in the Carnic Alps (1100 m above sea level) of north-eastern Italy provided extensive information on the biology and life-history… Expand
Site occupancy and density of sympatric Gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica) and nose-horned viper (Bitis nasicornis)
- L. Luiselli
- Biology
- Journal of Tropical Ecology
- 27 July 2006
The presence and density of two sympatric, large-sized vipers (the Gaboon viper, Bitis gabonica and the nose-horned viper, Bitis nasicornis) were studied along several transects, during both dry and… Expand
