FROM SCANDINAVIA TO THE LEVANT: THE LATE BRONZE AGE METAL TRADE AND NURAGIC SARDINIA
Oxford Journal of Archaeology, EarlyView.Summary A growing body of evidence suggests that Nuragic Sardinia played a role, as yet poorly understood, in the metal trade between Scandinavia, Atlantic Europe, and the Mediterranean during the Bronze Age. Provenance studies based on lead isotope and chemical analyses of copper‐based – and to a minor extent lead – artefacts from both continental ...

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Balkan high‐mountain fens harbour unique endemic plant communities, with a west‐to‐east compositional gradient and local richness primarily shaped by palaeoclimate. As these fens have already experienced drier, warmer summers than at present, they may withstand climate change if actively and effectively protected. Abstract The phenomenon of Balkan high‐

Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article examines why the Kurdish Freedom Movement has adopted ecological struggle as a foundational pillar in its politics of decolonisation and the reclamation of autonomy. Framed within the context of colonial and ecocidal developmentalism, the research analyses how policies initiated during the Ottoman Empire and perpetuated by Turkish

Future Mediterranean Summer Drying Across Models: Opposing Dynamic and Thermodynamic Constraints
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.Abstract Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models project drier Mediterranean summers under global warming, yet exhibit substantial inter‐model spread. Notably, models with stronger global‐mean warming produce little additional drying.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 8, Page 850-858, October 2026.ABSTRACT The success of invasive species, which pose a significant threat to global biodiversity, hinges on their physiological and ecological adaptive capacities to the environments into which they are introduced. Trachemys scripta elegans (T. scripta elegans), recognized as one of the world's 100 most invasive species, has spread across a wide ...

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Scilla s.l. (Asparagaceae: Scilloideae) represents a notable Mediterranean geophyte radiation, yet genus delimitation in subtribe Hyacinthinae has long suffered from inconsistent and conflicting generic concepts. A limited set of informative morphological characters and recurrent shifts in circumscription have repeatedly hindered progress ...

Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Groundwater continues to be managed predominantly as an abiotic resource for human use, a paradigm that overlooks the biological communities responsible for many indispensable ecosystem services and ultimately the integrity of the global water cycle.

Comparison of Cold and Warm Extremes in the Mediterranean Based on E‐OBS and ERA5‐Land Data Sets
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.Abstract Accurate characterization of temperature extremes is essential for climate risk assessment, particularly in regions highly sensitive to climate change like the Mediterranean Basin. This study compares near‐surface temperatures from E‐OBS and ERA5‐Land, focusing on warm (>90th percentile) and cold (<10th percentile) extremes.
