Climatic, biogeographic and ecological factors influence the spatial patterns of odd‐ and even‐year dominance in biennial European butterflies and burnet moths

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
250,000 observations of 7 annual, 11 biennial and 4 flexible lepidoptera species in the Alps and over 150,000 observations of 5 biennial species from Scandinavia were analysed. Maps show distinct patterns of different species that fly predominantly in odd or even years in the researched areas.

The many prices of war and occupation: Black markets and the cost‐of‐living index in France, 1938–1949

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract When studying French prices between 1938 and 1949, economists and historians face a paradox: whilst a vast black market shaped daily life, official indices recorded only state‐controlled prices. This article addresses the issue by introducing a new consumer price index that incorporates both official and black market prices.

The former distribution of White‐tailed Eagles in Iberia, the Mediterranean and the Middle East: a case study of the importance of understanding historical distribution in informing current conservation and restoration interventions

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 ...

Tiny but mighty: Insects can drive carrion decomposition in the absence of facultative vertebrate scavengers. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Scavengers play a key role in recycling animal biomass, yet the relative contributions of insects and vertebrates to this process remain poorly understood. Moreover, understanding whether one scavenger group can compensate for the absence of another is critical for predicting how carrion decomposition may respond to changes in community ...

Taxonomic and functional patterns of arthropod succession after glacier retreat in the Dolomite Alps

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Arthropod succession after glacier retreat varied among species and forelands in the Dolomites Alps, with community composition shaped by glacier identity, time since deglaciation and local environmental conditions. Functional composition shifted from small, highly dispersive pioneer species to larger, less dispersive taxa, reflecting increasing ...

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 endemism of the Balkan high‐mountain fens: a community‐level synthesis and their climate change perspective

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‐
