Boreas, EarlyView.A long‐term perspective on landscape evolution is critical for understanding past land‐use activity, land cover–climate feedbacks and, notably, for establishing a factual basis for conservation. Fossil pollen analysis provides a means to achieve this. Biases pertaining to pollen productivity, pollination processes and basin size, however, mean there is

Gypsum Karst Landscape in the Sivas Basin
, 2019 The Tertiary Sivas Basin, Central Anatolia, includes one of the most outstanding gypsum karst terrains in the world, covering an area of 2140 km2. This gypsum karst significantly contributes to enrich the diversity of karst landscapes in Turkey and ...

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Replicated pairs of ancestral and evolutionarily derived populations provide opportunities to test hypotheses about the deterministic laws of evolution. The Asellus aquaticus species complex is an invertebrate model system with several independent surface‐to‐cave transitions and a complicated and unresolved evolutionary history.

Degradation of the karst environment
, 2023 Karst environments are extremely fragile, due to the peculiarities of their geology and hydrogeology, and can be easily disturbed by human actions through a variety of activities.

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Subterranean ecosystems harbour exceptional biodiversity shaped by adaptation to extreme environments, yet remain poorly explored. Cave organisms, restricted to small, isolated populations, are extinction‐prone, making integrative species delimitation essential for biodiversity assessment and conservation.

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 ...

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers
Groundwater, EarlyView.Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...

Review of the 2020 Statewide Suitability Survey of ASR and AR for Texas Aquifers
Groundwater, EarlyView.Since publication in 2020, the Statewide Survey of Aquifer Suitability for Aquifer Storage and Recovery Projects or Aquifer Recharge Projects interactive map experience and method have inspired researchers, water providers, and policymakers to explore the potential of aquifer storage and recovery and aquifer recharge in Texas.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Here, we used a unique 37‐year (1969–2006) freshwater macroinvertebrate time‐series, collected over seven sites in central Germany, to study biodiversity patterns and species accumulation over time. Accumulation curves of Diptera diversity have not reached a plateau in 37 years of sampling.

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 ...
