CULTURAL MEDIATION AS A STRATEGİC ACTİON: BALKAN MUSİC GROUPS FROM IZMİR SAKOBAND AND SHUKAR MUZİKA

, 2020
The concept of cultural mediation was first defined and explained in detail by Stephen Bochner in 1981. The concept is based on situations in which cultural elements cannot be received or even understood without assistance and intermediaries.

Hermit beetle (Osmoderma barnabita) habitat selection and movement are shaped by tree microhabitat availability in Eastern Romanian Carpathians

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1015-1030, September 2026.
We conducted the first radio‐tracking study on Osmoderma barnabita to examine the movement ecology and habitat selection in the Eastern Carpathians. A female recorded the longest movement distance and had larger home ranges than males. It showed a preference for Quercus petraea, with wood mould cavities and DBH as key predictors.

Predicting habitat suitability of selected Meloidae species and future potential refugia: A case study from inner Western Anatolia

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1185-1202, September 2026.
Consensus habitat‐suitability maps identify current hotspots of species richness across the Inner Western Anatolian mountain systems. Late‐century projections (2081–2100) under SSP2‐4.5 and SSP5‐8.5 show range shifts and changing richness patterns, intensifying at higher elevations.

The Role of the Southeastern European Mountains as Cradles and Corridors of European Biodiversity: Insights From Agelenid Spiders

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The Southeastern European Mountain System (SEEMS) is a well‐known glacial refugium for European fauna. Bridging the Mediterranean and Caucasus biodiversity hotspots, it is a melting point for diverse faunal elements, but also a center of origin and subsequent dispersal of a unique component of European biodiversity.

Local Species Loss and Retraction Across the Alps and Apennines: Recent Thermophilization and Diversity Changes of the Alpine Flora

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The European alpine life zone is a recognized biodiversity hotspot, currently impacted by warming temperatures. Here, we investigated temporal plant diversity changes and thermophilization processes on multiple summits' flora. Location Italy: six mountain regions across the Alps and the Apennines.

Taxonomic inflation in fish systematics: A critical review with illustrative evidence assessment and integrative case study of the Salmo trutta Complex

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 3, Page 1360-1378, September 2026.
Abstract Fish species are being described at an accelerating rate, but a substantial fraction of recent descriptions rests on evidentiary standards too weak to distinguish genuine species‐level discontinuities from intraspecific variation, local adaptation and the artefacts of single‐marker analyses, a pattern of taxonomic inflation with documented ...
