A synthetic eco‐evolutionary proposal for the conservation of wild relatives of the olive tree

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of genetic diversity for plant breeding. However, the identification of wild untapped genetic resources (i.e., unexploited in crops) is not always straightforward. We propose a methodology to guide the identification and conservation of these resources that integrates both genetic

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Tourism and Sustainable Development in the Mediterranean: Evidence From Robust Panel CS‐ARDL Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the Mediterranean region's critical dependence on tourism, the empirical relationship between tourism development and multidimensional sustainable development remains underexplored. Existing studies predominantly rely on unidimensional sustainability proxies, failing to capture the holistic nature of sustainability. This study examines
