The former distribution of White‐tailed Eagles in Iberia, the Mediterranean and the Middle East: a case study of the importance of understanding historical distribution in informing current conservation and restoration interventions

Ibis, EarlyView.
The importance of considering historical data in developing conservation and restoration measures for individual species and for wider ecological restoration has been pointed out by recent reviews but often remains neglected in practice. This paper provides a case study illustrating the issue through a review of the former breeding distribution of the ...

An Assessment of Landscape Evolution Through Pedo-Geomorphological Mapping and Predictive Classification Using Random Forest: A Case Study of the Statherian Natividade Basin, Central Brazil

Geosciences
Understanding the relationship between geological and geomorphological processes is essential for reconstructing landscape evolution. This study examines how geology and geomorphology shape landscape development in central Brazil, focusing on the ...

Forest cover influences the movement and behaviour of GPS‐tagged Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos): insights from flight characteristics and perch site selection

Ibis, EarlyView.
Habitat selection can vary substantially depending on species‐specific and behaviour‐specific resource requirements. Identifying these resources and gaining a detailed understanding of their importance can inform effective conservation actions and contribute to assessing the impacts of environmental change.

The craters that never were: Anthropogenic origins of alleged impact structures in the Chiemgau region

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Public fascination with impact craters often drives bold speculations, but rigorous verification is critical. In southeastern Bavaria, numerous depressions have been proposed to represent impact craters associated with a catastrophic event in Celtic times (between 900 BC and 600 BC)—the so called “Chiemgau Impact.” To date, the evidence ...

Spatial variation in morphological traits of natural Haloxylon ammodendron populations on the eastern margin of the Badain Jaran Desert

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Natural Haloxylon ammodendron populations on the eastern margin of the Badain Jaran Desert showed size‐associated differences in plant height, crown diameter, and spatial patterns among stem‐base diameter classes. These patterns describe morphological spatial variation but do not establish specific environmental drivers.

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

High and dry: the persistence of diverse coastal marsh communities depends on available upland area and connection to surrounding waters

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sea‐level‐rise and alterations to natural hydrology have contributed to coastal land loss. To combat coastal land loss and maintain the ecosystem services provided by marshes, marsh creation has been broadly implemented. Marsh creation projects can be performed in conjunction with the construction of elevated terrestrial ridges that seek to mimic ...

Rare Earth Element Potential in the Araí Rift Metavolcanic, Central Brazil: Gamma‐Ray Signatures, Mineralogy and Exploration Implications

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although central Brazil hosts significant ion‐adsorption rare earth element (REE) deposits associated with A‐type granites, their coeval volcanic counterparts have been largely overlooked as exploration targets. This study demonstrates that acidic metavolcanic rocks of the Araí Group share strong radiometric, geochemical and mineralogical ...

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2920-2942, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.
