Using individual‐based modelling to anticipate future conflict potential for expanding European bison populations

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Proactively developing and geographically targeting coexistence measures before conflicts become entrenched can improve megafauna restoration success. Our work demonstrates how integrating spatial conflict indicators into individual‐based models enables forward‐looking simulations of range expansion to guide such measures and to assess how they might ...

An overview of Mass Accumulation Rates in key Polish loess–palaeosol sequences derived from luminescence chronologies

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 835-845, July 2026.
Loess–palaeosol sequences (LPS) represent one of the most important continental archives of late Quaternary environmental change in Europe. Establishing reliable chronologies is essential for reconstructing dust dynamics and for correlating regional loess stratigraphies. In this study, we present the first systematically derived mass accumulation rate (

Priority Actions for the Conservation of Primary and Old‐Growth Forests in Europe

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Primary and old‐growth forests are important for nature and society. Although global commitments to their conservation are increasing and the EU has aligned itself with these efforts, these forests remain critically threatened. Consequently, to meet its own targets rooted in global commitments, the EU needs a strategy that ensures their ...

Land cover dynamics in western Bieszczady Mts between 19th and 20th century

Ekológia (Bratislava), 2013
The aim of this paper was to indicate the main directions in cover changes and land use in Western Bieszczady Mts. Two areas differing in altitudes, were taken into analysis: part of Bieszczady Wysokie Mts (for years 1852 and 2004) and Baligrod Forest ...

Protecting temperate old‐growth forests as biotic microrefugia amid climate change

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Old‐growth forests are essential biotic microrefugia, providing high carbon storage, biodiversity, and stable microclimates that protect understorey species from climatic extremes. Their resilience to drought and disturbance makes them more effective than younger forests, yet habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change increasingly threaten these ...

Protected areas and hunting system affect the survival and longevity of adult female Eurasian lynx in a source–sink population

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Variation in cumulative survival time of adult female lynx across (a) area protection categories (UL—Unprotected Landscapes, PLA—Protected Landscape Areas, NP—National Parks) and (b) hunting system categories (NO—No Hunting, NPH—NP Hunting, SFH—State Forests Hunting, PFH—Private Forests Hunting, SFRH—State Forests Rented Hunting, SFO—Small Forest ...

Climate Warming Drives Northward Contraction and Genetic erosion in a Cold‐Adapted Soil Worm Species

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Climate‐driven range fluctuations since the Pleistocene have repeatedly reshaped species distributions and population structures, with lasting consequences for genetic diversity. Contemporary warming causes similar pressures, yet most work emphasizes range shifts and gives less attention to genetic outcomes.

Triticale (×Triticosecale Wittm.) Production and Breeding Progress in Poland (1992–2023) Under Increasing Drought Risk

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Poland is the leading global producer of triticale (×Triticosecale Wittm. ex A. Camus), a cereal combining wheat and rye ancestry, commonly grown on poorer soils than wheat and better than rye. Although triticale is adapted to suboptimal environments, its yields remain sensitive to spring drought, a risk projected to increase under climate ...

Metrics for Geometrids: Phylogenetic Diversity of European Sterrhinae (Geometridae, Lepidoptera)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Phylogenetic diversity, structure and endemism of European Sterrhinae were investigated for the first time and interpreted in relation to species richness, latitude and mean annual temperature. Furthermore, ecological trait data for each species were analysed in a spatial context. Location Europe. Taxon Sterrhinae (Geometridae, Lepidoptera)
