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

Testing the morphology‐ and intuition‐based taxonomic hypotheses using integrative approach: unexpected discovery of triplet of sibling species within a widespread Eurasian butterfly, Hyponephele lycaon

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract In well‐studied groups of organisms, the taxonomic landscape can be very complex, with several alternative classifications describing diversity within the same set of populations. For example, three hypotheses have previously been proposed to describe the taxonomy of the common and widespread Eurasian Dusky Meadow Brown butterfly, Hyponephele ...

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 ...

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 ...

Forest Transformation in the Southeastern Part of the Greater Caucasus

Bulletin of Science and Practice, 2020
Three experimental plots of beech–hornbeam–oak mixed forests of the southeastern part of the Greater Caucasus were examined. Biometric and phytocenological observations were carried out, species composition and fullness of forests, growth, diameter and height of trees.

Typization of epithermal gold-silver systems of Greater Caucasus

Геология и геофизика Юга России, 2023
На Большом Кавказе описаны различные месторождения и рудопроявления золотого оруденения, в том числе и эпитермального. Однако типизация золото-серебряного эпитермального оруденения с использованием физико-химических условий их формирования на современном уровне не проведена.

Geolocation reveals wintering sites of near‐extinct Caucasian breeding sea duck

Ibis, EarlyView.
We obtained 14 sets of full annual cycle geolocator tracks from 13 individual nesting female Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca from the relict Caucasian population at their last remaining breeding site, Lake Tabatskuri, Georgia. Results showed that females wintered at widespread discrete localities in Ukraine, around the coasts of the Crimean Peninsula and
