The former distribution of White‐tailed Eagles in Iberia, the Mediterranean and the Middle East: a case study of the importance of understanding historical distribution in informing current conservation and restoration interventions

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The importance of considering historical data in developing conservation and restoration measures for individual species and for wider ecological restoration has been pointed out by recent reviews but often remains neglected in practice. This paper provides a case study illustrating the issue through a review of the former breeding distribution of the ...

Design and Implementation of a Digitalised Marine Aids to Navigation Monitoring System for High‐Density Maritime Traffic Waters: A Case Study of the Strait of Malacca

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
A digitalised Aids‐to‐Navigation monitoring system (ARMS) was deployed across 478 installations in the Strait of Malacca and Malaysian waters, integrating multi‐sensor edge validation, hybrid AIS/VHF/cellular communication, and a centralised platform. It achieved 98.3% availability and cut fault‐detection time from weeks to just 8.4 min.

After Assad: How Russia Is Losing the Middle East

open access: yesMiddle East Policy, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 109-122, Autumn (Fall) 2025.
Abstract Russia's military and diplomatic victories in Syria once appeared to cement its status as a dominant power in the Middle East. However, the swift collapse of the Assad regime exposed cracks in Moscow's regional and global credibility. Our analysis reveals that Syrian President Bashar al‐Assad's downfall delivers a triple blow—strategic ...

Microwave‐Assisted Rapid Hydrothermal Synthesis of Vanadium‐Based Cathode: Unravelling Charge Storage Mechanisms in Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 10, May 19, 2025.
A novel vanadium‐based cathode, KMnVOH, was synthesized via a microwave‐assisted method, achieving 260 mAh g−1 at 5 C with 94 % retention over 2000 cycles in aqueous Zn(CF₃SO₃)₂ electrolyte. Its stability stems from interlayer water, K, and Mn ions enhancing the layered structure. A dual proton/Zn ion charge storage mechanism involving ZHT formation is

Understudied regions and messy taxonomy: Geography, not taxonomy, is the best predictor for genetic divergence of the Poecilimon bosphoricus species group

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 221-236, April 2024.
Divergence in morphology and communication signals does not correspond to genetic divergence in the Poecilimon bosphoricus species group, suggesting phenotypes may be unreliable for defining reproductive units. Pleistocene climatic/ecological shifts affected the genetic differentiation of P.

Distribution and diversity of elasmobranchs in the Sea of Marmara: A 2023 status report

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Elasmobranchs, encompassing an array of sharks and rays, confront a threat of extinction on a global scale. The Sea of Marmara (SoM) stands out as a critical refuge for these endangered species. This study harnesses data derived from comprehensive trawl surveys, representing the first area‐based evaluation of the elasmobranchs inhabiting the ...
