Eros as the Meeting of Ecstasies in Christ: The Eucharistic Link between Divine and Human Love in Dionysius the Areopagite

International Journal of Systematic Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Dionysius's vision of eros as a meeting of reciprocal ecstasies – where lover and beloved each pass out of themselves and into the other – has often been read as unifying dimensions of love otherwise thought to stand in tension, such as giving and receiving.

The Diremption of Meaning

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Examining work by Rowan Williams, this essay explores what he often refers to as the ‘difficulty’ of writing theology.

Modern Theology, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 708-729, July 2026.
Abstract Recent interest in the idea of analogy and the analogy of being, along with the apparent invocation of Augustine’s De Trinitate in the definition of Lateran IV, calls for a renewed investigation into the idea of analogy in the aforementioned text. Methodologically, “analogy” in De Trin. names a form of discourse which attempts to see the truth

Breeding in natural nesting sites can improve the resilience of local Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) populations to environmental changes

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 465-478, April 2026.
The identification of key habitats of threatened species and of extrinsic environmental factors that influence their resilience to human‐induced environmental changes are the foundation for the definition of conservation objectives. Using the presence and numerical abundance data collected in a long‐term survey (2000–24) of breeding colonies of Lesser ...

Contribution of microcosm experiments to conservation science

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Microcosms, or miniature experimental systems, have been used to develop models and theories in ecology. However, their contribution to conservation science is unclear. We explored the application, design, and impact of microcosms in conservation science from 469 systematically identified articles published from 1986 to 2023.

A pan‐European citizen science study shows population size, climate and land use are related to biased morph ratios in the heterostylous plant Primula veris

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
A large‐scale citizen science study involving thousands of cowslip (Primula veris) observations from all over Europe revealed an unexpected prevalence of S‐morphs over L‐morphs, which was influenced by climatic as well as land use factors. Furthermore, general morph ratios were often unbalanced with the strongest shifts occurring in smaller populations.
