Impact of global change on the distribution of mountain mammals and birds

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use changes are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. Many species are shifting to higher elevations or latitudes in response to global warming, often encountering unfavorable land‐use conditions during the shift. These changes can lead to reduced range size and increased extinction risks, particularly for mountain ...

Geochronology and evolution of quaternary volcanism at the Keli Highland, Greater Caucasus

Geochemistry International, 2011
The paper reports newly obtained stratigraphic, petrographic, and isotope-geochronological data on modern moderately acid lavas from the Keli Highland at the Greater Caucasus and presents a geological map of the territory, in which 35 volcanoes active in Late Quaternary time were documented by the authors. The total duration of volcanic activity at the

Protected areas on international borders show uneven conservation outcomes

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Border protected areas (BPAs) are national protected areas that are immediately adjacent to a country's border or span two or more countries; they are characterized by distinctive opportunities and pressures. They play a critical role in protecting carbon‐rich ecosystems, conserving endangered biodiversity, reducing cross‐border environmental ...

Lavas from the Elbrus volcano, Greater Caucasus

, 2010
Comprehensive geochronological and isotope-geochemical studies showed that the Late Quaternary Elbrus Volcano (Greater Caucasus) experienced long (approximately 200 ka) discrete evolution with protracted periods of igneous quiescence (approximately 50 ka)

Cardiometabolic, Physiological and Objective‐Sleep Responses to Transcendental Meditation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomised Controlled Trial Among University Staff

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Chronic stress contributes to cardiometabolic risk, and stress‐reduction interventions have been proposed to improve stress‐sensitive physiology and cardiometabolic health, though evidence remains inconsistent. This study examined the effects of a Transcendental Meditation (TM) intervention on cardiometabolic health and ...

Reality and the Unseen in the Early Fatwas of al‐Manār

The Muslim World, EarlyView.
This article explores how discussions of the unseen in the fatwa section of Muḥammad Rashīd Riḍā's journal, al‐Manār, related to larger processes of rationalization, epistemological boundary‐making, and modernization occurring at the turn of the twentieth century. A discursive analysis of a subset of fatwas published between 1903 and 1914 suggests that
