Defining Political Extremism in the Balkans. The Case of Serbia

International Studies: Interdisciplinary Political and Cultural Journal, 2015
Political extremism (and particularly right wing political extremism) remains relatively insufficiently explored due to the fact that the phenomenon is controversial and hard to define. Its ambiguity and variability depending on time and spatial point of

Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...

Assessing genetic diversity in a reintroduced Mediterranean griffon vulture Gyps fulvus population to inform long‐term conservation management

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reintroductions play a key role in conservation biology. Their long‐term success strongly depends on maximizing the genetic diversity of founders, as well as on ensuring ecological connectivity with adjacent populations. Accordingly, evaluating the conservation status of reintroduced populations to limit the loss of their genetic diversity requires ...

Biology, ecology, and conservation of the Italian hare Lepus corsicanus: a review

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The Italian hare Lepus corsicanus, an endemic lagomorph of Italy, serves as a critical case study in evolutionary biology and conservation. Once taxonomically debated, modern genetic and morphological analyses confirm its status as a distinct Pleistocene lineage restricted to the central‐southern Italian Peninsula and Sicily.

Cryptic variation within and among islands in the ultraviolet reflectance of lizard throat coloration

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Identifying the existence of ‘cryptic’ morphs is critical in animal ecology for providing a basis for accurately testing links between phenotype and environment. This study identifies the existence of previously undocumented variation in UV reflectance in Aegean wall lizards that likely has novel behavioural and evolutionary implications within this ...

The role of the Eastern Mediterranean in human evolution: recent results from Greece Le rôle du Bassin méditerranéen oriental dans l’évolution humaine : résultats récents en Grèce

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The Eastern Mediterranean lies directly on the principal migration route for human groups dispersing across Africa, Europe, and Asia. It also encompasses the Balkans, where fauna and flora, as well as hominin populations, are thought to have persisted through glacial periods.

Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1

Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.
Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.
