Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.This study confirms the presence of the tick Hyalomma marginatum Koch, 1844, a known vector of the Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever virus at Galicia. Most ticks were encountered on humans and livestock, with numbers rising between 2019 and 2024, especially during spring and in warm‐summer Mediterranean southwest areas of the studied region.

Engineered Identity: Albanian Nationalism and the Limits of Established Nationalism Theories
Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article analyses the development of Albanian nationalism as a test case for assessing the explanatory reach of three major approaches to the study of nationalism: modernist, constructivist and historical‐comparative. Rather than privileging a single theoretical framework, the article places these approaches in dialogue, treating them as ...

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.Abstract Urban blue spaces are increasingly recognised as important determinants of mental health. This empirical study investigates the mental health benefits of blue space exposure in Shkodra, Albania. Data from 534 respondents were collected through the Albanian Urban Blue Spaces (AUBS) Survey.

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Subfamily Leuciscinae, the largest freshwater fish group of the western Palearctic region, has been widely studied, including the phylogenetic relationships between its species and genera. However, until now, one genus completely escaped attention in this regard. Even though several works hypothesised about its evolutionary relationships based

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Our research aimed to assess the beta diversity of Chironomidae (Diptera) and faunal connections across springs, streams, and rivers within the Skadar Lake basin, a Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot, using DNA barcoding. Location Skadar Lake basin—a Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot. Methods We analysed mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 985-1001, July 2026.High colour variability in animals has been associated with adaptability to environmental change. Establishing how such variability is distributed in time and space, and identifying environmental correlates, can help understand the processes driving it.

Genomic Diversity of Aurochs From a Mediterranean Ice‐Age Refugium
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.ABSTRACT The aurochs, the wild ancestor of domestic cattle, was a keystone herbivore in Late Pleistocene Eurasian ecosystems and a major prey species for Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers. Despite its significance, the genetic structure of aurochs populations that survived the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remains poorly understood, especially in southeastern

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 615-638, July 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding insect responses to global climate change involves identifying strategies used during past climate oscillations. Phylogeography offers a powerful framework to unravel how historical climatic and geological events have shaped the spatial genetic patterns of species, providing critical insights into evolutionary processes, whereas ...
