Fragmented grasslands in different landscape structures provide different opportunities for cavity‐nesting Hymenoptera

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Grassland fragmentation effects on cavity‐nesting Hymenoptera are habitat‐specific. Isolated sand steppe fragments are associated with higher brood‐cell abundance. In loess steppes, higher flower frequency increases bee brood‐cell production and parasitoid activity. Abstract The global decline in insects threatens ecosystem functioning, but the drivers

Photosynthetic activity and protective reactions of mosses in forest ecosystems of the Ukrainian Roztochia under changing ecological conditions

Біологічні студії
Background. The photosynthetic activity of mosses has not been studied sufficiently, in contrast to vascular plants. Taking into account the specifics of the moss gametophyte organization (poikilohydricity, absence of epidermis, stomata, cuticle), it is ...

Written by journalist and Holocaust survivor Tommy Lapid, the guide operated as civic pedagogy, instructing Israeli travellers in ...

No need to seed: restoring species‐rich grassland on former arable fields by natural regeneration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the last century, agricultural intensification has caused substantial losses of semi‐natural species‐rich grasslands. One means of restoring grassland habitat is to abandon farmed land, followed by mowing and/or grazing of the established vegetation to facilitate meadow diversification. Objectives This study investigated post‐

Porosity Preservation in Deeply Buried (8500 m) Jurassic Calcareous Mudstones of the Vienna Basin (Austria)

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Significant porosity of more than 5% was found at depths of more than 8500 m in poorly sorted, calcareous mudstones of the Malmian Mikulov Formation. These overpressured rocks are the main hydrocarbon source rock in the Vienna Basin. Core samples from present‐day depths of 8150 m to 8550 m were analysed using X‐ray diffraction and scanning ...

Translocation effects on regional and local population viability and connectivity

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Translocations and reintroductions aim to improve the viability of isolated populations and promote connectivity for large carnivores. However, there is no established framework for assessing their success. We used the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in western and central Europe to assess the impact of translocations on the viability of six ...

Ecosystem Services Against Illegal Immigration: The Natural Control of the Migratory Butterfly Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) by Cotesia vestalis (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) on Organic Soybean in Ukraine

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 922-932, August 2026.
In central Ukraine, the migratory butterfly Vanessa cardui emerged as a key pest of organic soybean during its outbreaks in 2019 and 2022. Despite early defoliation, crops recovered strongly due to high parasitism by Cotesia vestalis, reaching 100% in some fields.

First occurrences of Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the Miocene of Poland: Detailed cranial anatomy and biogeographic implications

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 314-337, August 2026.
Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical

Multi-aged micro-neighborhood patches challenge the forest cycle model in primeval European beech

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2020
As currently framed, the forest cycle model that underlies close-to-nature management in temperate beech forests throughout the globe specifies an orderly sequence of temporal development within even-aged patches comprising the forest mosaic.
