People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 283-300, February 2026.Abstract The Industrial Revolution triggered rural abandonment in Europe and had a profound impact on land configuration and ecosystem dynamics, mainly the growth of forests at the expense of open agricultural habitats. However, rural abandonment has been asynchronous in space and time, depending on regional socio‐economic dynamics.

Assessing predation pressure of Vespa velutina on local fauna through DNA metabarcoding
Journal of Zoology, Volume 326, Issue 4, Page 329-338, August 2025.This study investigates the predation pressure exerted by the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina) on native insect populations in Mallorca, using DNA metabarcoding to analyze their diet. Results reveal a diverse prey spectrum, including key insect groups such as Apidae (bees), Calliphoridae (blowflies), and Vespidae (wasps), with no ...

Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 1, Page 196-211, January 2025.Wetland degradation worldwide has led to fragmentation and isolation of diminished populations that are now more vulnerable to disturbance. Wildfires affecting wetlands can have major impacts on vegetation structure and associated waterbird communities, but rapid recovery of the initial state of vegetation cover after fire due to fast emergent ...
