Assessment of genetic diversity, population structure and wolf-dog hybridisation in the Eastern Romanian Carpathian wolf population

Scientific Reports, 2023
The Carpathian Mountains have been constantly inhabited by grey wolves and present one of the largest distribution areas in Europe, comprising between 2300 and 2700 individuals in Romania.

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

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
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 ...

Discovery of Blueschists in the Medvednica Mountain (Northern Croatia) and Their Significance for the Interpretation of the Geotectonic Evolution of the Area

Geologia Croatica, 2010
Blueschists were discovered in the metamorphic rocks of the Medvednica mountain. Two varieties of blueschists are recognised, one with garnets and another with omphacite.

Glacial refugia, postglacial dynamics, and hybrid zones of Pinaceae in Eurasia captured from sedimentary ancient DNA

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Boreal forests cover nearly one‐third of global forest area. Glacial cycles have shaped the distribution and connectivity of modern Pinaceae genera, yet species‐level refugia, postglacial migrations, and hybridization patterns remain unclear due to limited high‐resolution taxonomic and temporal data. We applied a hybridization capture approach

Quantification of ground surface movements on sorted circles using time‐lapse structure‐from‐motion photogrammetry in a karst cave, Slovenia

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
We present ground surface movements on sorted circles in a karst cave using time‐lapse photogrammetry with accuracies of up to ±2 mm. Data with 3‐hourly resolution revealed average vertical movements of up to 50 mm and horizontal movements of up to 15 mm during individual freeze–thaw cycles.

Golden jackal as a new kleptoparasite for Eurasian lynx in Europe

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
The arrival of a new carnivore can have important effects on local communities. While several effects of introduced alien species have been well documented, few studies have reported the ecological consequences of an expanding native species.

Overcoming taxonomic anxiety in conservation: A roadmap from the idle crayfish case

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Advances in taxonomy often uncover cryptic species nested within already protected taxa, raising concerns about the continuity of legal safeguards. While newly described species are not necessarily disconnected from existing protections, often being treated administratively as part of the original species complex, formal legislative updates ...

The caliph and the falcons: a ninth‐century history from Iceland to Iraq

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 299-322, May 2026.
In the late ninth and early tenth centuries, an extraordinary number of falcons were given to the ʿAbbāsid caliphs in Baghdad, many of which were white. Gifts from competing dynasties in the northern provinces of the Caliphate, at least some of these birds were almost certainly gyrfalcons from near the Arctic Circle.
