Ibis, 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 ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Forest clearings support butterfly communities comparable to mountainous grasslands in alpha‐diversity and conservation value, yet remain compositionally distinct. Generalized linear models (GLMs) showed three key habitat predictors shaping multifaceted diversity and community composition: herb/grass height, flowerhead abundance and elevation.

Cryoseston in Stara Planina (Balkan) Mountains, Bulgaria [PDF]
, 2010 Numerous snow fields persisted in the Stara Planina (Central Balkan) Mountains, some with a very light tint, but with dirty surfaces, at the end of May 2009. The cryoseston community was quite different in individual snow fields.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Urbanization drives turnover in dragonfly species composition, traits, and habitat conservation value. Natural stream sections have a higher conservation value (higher DBI) due to presence of specialists. Properly managed urban streams can support diverse dragonfly assemblages.

FROM SCANDINAVIA TO THE LEVANT: THE LATE BRONZE AGE METAL TRADE AND NURAGIC SARDINIA
Oxford Journal of Archaeology, EarlyView.Summary A growing body of evidence suggests that Nuragic Sardinia played a role, as yet poorly understood, in the metal trade between Scandinavia, Atlantic Europe, and the Mediterranean during the Bronze Age. Provenance studies based on lead isotope and chemical analyses of copper‐based – and to a minor extent lead – artefacts from both continental ...

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Balkan high‐mountain fens harbour unique endemic plant communities, with a west‐to‐east compositional gradient and local richness primarily shaped by palaeoclimate. As these fens have already experienced drier, warmer summers than at present, they may withstand climate change if actively and effectively protected. Abstract The phenomenon of Balkan high‐
