Population genetic structure of European wildcats inhabiting the area between the Dinaric Alps and the Scardo-Pindic mountains

Scientific Reports, 2021
Habitat fragmentation and loss have contributed significantly to the demographic decline of European wildcat populations and hybridization with domestic cats poses a threat to the loss of genetic purity of the species.

Demographic and Structural Variability Modulate Growth Dynamics in European Beech Primary Forests [PDF]

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
Climate change is increasing drought and heat stress on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), causing widespread tree vitality losses and growth declines across Europe. Using a large tree ring network from montane primary beech forests, we found that trees of various ages and sizes respond differently to climate warming, leading to contrasting within ...

Dispersal Beyond Mountains and Borders: Asymmetrical Gene Flow Helps Maintain Brown Bear Metapopulation Connectivity on the Balkan Peninsula [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The Balkan Peninsula is a biodiversity hotspot, harbouring some of the largest transboundary populations of large carnivores such as brown bears. However, most studies to date in this area have addressed bear population dynamics within the confines of ...

Microclimate of Brown Bear (Ursus arctos L.) Dens and Denning Area [PDF]

Animals
The aim of this study was to determine the microclimate of brown bear dens depending on their size, their status (active or inactive), and the location of the den. The study included five dens of different sizes and locations in the Velebit Mountains, in

Morphological and anatomical diversity of Juniperus sabina var. balkanensis in the Croatian Dinaric Mountains

Šumarski list
Juniperus sabina var. balkanensis R.P.Adams et Tashev is a morphologically cryptic but genetically distinct tetraploid lineage, hypothesized to have originated through ancient hybridization between maternal diploid J. sabina var. sabina and a paternal ancestor related to J. thurifera L. Although its presence in Croatia has been confirmed, morphological

Genetic Rescue: Latest Advances and Applications [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic rescue is the increase in individual or population fitness caused by new genetic variation. It typically involves the deliberate movement of genetically diverse individuals into small and isolated populations to reduce inbreeding and maladaptation while enhancing evolutionary potential.
