Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Oaks and Climate Change: Contrasting Range Responses of Mediterranean and Temperate Quercus Species in the Western Palearctic [PDF]
We analyzed past and future range dynamics of six oak (Quercus) species across the western Palearctic using ecological niche models, reconstructing distributions for the Last Glacial Maximum, the present, and two future scenarios. Quantitative metrics of centroid shifts, range limits, and area change revealed that temperate and transition‐zone species ...

Steppes, savannahs, forests and phytodiversity reservoirs during the Pleistocene in the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
A palaeobotanical analysis of the Pleistocene floras and vegetation in the Iberian Peninsula shows the existence of patched landscapes with Pinus woodlands, deciduous and mixed forests, parklands (savannah-like), shrublands, steppes and grasslands ...

Using AVAL-1D to simulate avalanches in the eastern Pyrenees [PDF]
The two friction parameters used in the numerical avalanche dynamics program AVAL-1D, were calibrated empirically with data from observed avalanches in the Swiss Alps. The implementation of the model with these friction parameters in other regions with different characteristics can lead to considerable uncertainty if a previous calibration is not ...

Wealth inequality and epidemics in the Republic of Venice (1400–1800)
Abstract This article analyses wealth inequality in the Republic of Venice during 1400–1800. The availability of a large database of homogeneous inequality measurements allows us to produce the most in‐depth study of the factors affecting inequality at the local level available thus far for any preindustrial society.

Syn-rift Cretaceous deformation in the Agly Variscan Massif (Eastern Pyrenees, France)
A petro-structural and geochronological study has been conducted in the Agly Variscan Massif located in the Northern Pyrenean Zone (France). The Lower Gneiss Unit (LGU) displays highly ductile deformation with a NNE-SSW oriented stretching lineation and ...

Europe's ecological backbone: recognising the true value of our mountains [PDF]
Europe's mountain areas have social, economic and environmental capital of significance for the entire continent. This importance has been recognised since the late 19th century through national legislation; since the 1970s through regional structures ...

ABSTRACT We present novel 3D subsidence data enabling vertical movements' quantification during the early formation of the Pyrenean retro‐wedge. From Cenomanian to Turonian times, subsidence is relatively low (~26 ± 10 m/Myr), corresponding to a brief 10 Myr thermal re‐equilibration of the European lithosphere following the hyperextended rift episode ...
