Plants, people and their shared heritage: A comparative medicinal and wild food ethnobotany of Albanians, Greeks and Aromanians living in the Gjirokaster area, southern Albania

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional knowledge about wild plants connects people to nature and sustains both cultural identity and biodiversity. This study explores how cultural exchange among Albanians, Greeks and Aromanians in southern Albania shapes the use and naming of medicinal and food plants.

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract From desert ski resorts to subtropical Winter Games, there is a global proliferation of ‘mission‐impossible’ mega‐projects. The prevailing frameworks of city branding and urban entrepreneurism fail to explain the political logics behind these seemingly irrational projects.

Impact of global change on the distribution of mountain mammals and birds

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use changes are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Many species are shifting to higher elevations or latitudes in response to global warming, often encountering unfavorable land‐use conditions during the shift. These changes can lead to reduced range size and increased extinction risks, particularly for mountain ...

Testing the reliability of a camera‐trap based abundance proxy for assessing mountain ungulate populations

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This paper provides practical and science‐based information for researchers, conservationists, and policymakers on estimating the abundance of mountain ungulates from an easy‐to‐use relative abundance index. Abstract Monitoring wildlife abundance is important for understanding species population status and trends and, thus, for informing conservation ...
