Vicariance and dispersal in the Aegean Archipelago: Molecular phylogeography reveals the origin and divergence times of Hydropsyche (Trichoptera: Hydropsychidae) species

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Divergence times of Greek Hydropsyche lineages fall mostly within the Pliocene‐Pleistocene, rejecting ancient vicariance. Widespread species show shallow divergences consistent with dispersal, while island endemics exhibit deeper isolation patterns supporting a mixed vicariance‐dispersal model.

Geographical distribution of Hyalomma marginatum Koch, 1844 in northwestern Spain from 2019 to 2024: A one health approach

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
This study confirms the presence of the tick Hyalomma marginatum Koch, 1844, a known vector of the Crimean‐Congo hemorrhagic fever virus at Galicia. Most ticks were encountered on humans and livestock, with numbers rising between 2019 and 2024, especially during spring and in warm‐summer Mediterranean southwest areas of the studied region.

FROM SCANDINAVIA TO THE LEVANT: THE LATE BRONZE AGE METAL TRADE AND NURAGIC SARDINIA

open access: yesOxford 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 ...

Hidden Strategies Beneath a Single Nucleotide: Contrasting Physiology in Lichen Photobiont Strains

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lichen photobionts exhibit significant physiological variability with important ecological implications. While this variability is relatively well studied at the interspecific level, it has rarely been examined at the intraspecific level. Here, we investigated the physiological responses to temperature and irradiance of two Trebouxia lynniae ...

More Science Than Art: The First Botanical Garden in Portugal (c. 1650)

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gabriel Grisley, a German physician, came to Portugal and founded a garden near the Xabregas River in Lisbon, during the 1610s under the Spanish kings' rule. In view of the utility a botanic garden represented for the kingdom, he was able to obtain a royal privilege from King João IV during the Restauration War against the Spanish (1640–1668).

‘He Seems Like a Morisco to Me, / Even in the Way He Talks’: Articulating morisco Difference in Lope de Vega and Cervantes

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Between 1609 and 1614, after over a century of forced conversions, cultural oppression and inquisitorial persecution, Spain expelled its morisco subjects. Despite being baptised Christians, the descendants of Spain's Muslim population had been deemed incapable of sincerely following the Christian faith and assimilating into society due to ...

Systematic and Taxonomic Revision of Ostrea stentina Species Complex (Bivalvia: Ostreidae): New Insights From a Topotype‐Based Integrative Approach

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cryptic marine species complexes with plastic morphology, shallow divergence, and broad distributions are among the hardest taxonomic problems in zoology. The Ostrea stentina complex, reported across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indo‐Pacific, is a striking example. We present the first topotype‐anchored integrative revision of this complex,

Extreme Polyploidy Reveals Functional Trade‐Offs in Plant Drought Responses

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8697-8711, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Polyploidy shapes plant physiology and anatomy, yet the extent to which different ploidy levels influence drought responses remains unclear. Here, we investigated how ploidy affects cell‐level coordination and functional traits associated with water transport and retention.

Natural Infection by Toscana Virus and Other Phleboviruses in Wild Sand Flies From Spain: Prevalence, Genetic Characterization and Tripartite Interactions With Leishmania infantum and Wolbachia

open access: yesZoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 7, Page 655-669, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Toscana virus (TOSV) and Leishmania species are sand fly‐borne pathogens that pose a significant public health threat and an increasing risk of exposure in Europe. The objective of this study was to identify the phleboviruses circulating in an area endemic for sand fly‐borne pathogens and to estimate infection prevalence in wild ...

Colonisation History of Freshwater Snails Across the Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands: Insights From Mercuria (Littorinimorpha, Hydrobiidae)

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 830-845, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...
