Patterns of Freshwater Fish Vulnerability in European Rivers

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT European rivers are home to more than 600 native freshwater‐dependent fish species, with nearly half of them raising some level of conservation concern. Tackling this decline requires prioritising efforts towards the most vulnerable communities, at a spatial scale aligned with river restoration.

Glacioeustatic control on the origin and cessation of the Messinian salinity crisis. [PDF]

, 2016
The desiccation of the Mediterranean during the Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) is one of the most intriguing geological events of recent Earth history.

Bridging Mountains and Seas: Genomic and Plastid Data Evidence for Two Migration Routes of Drypis spinosa Across the Adriatic–Ionian Region

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Amphi–Adriatic–Ionian plant taxa, distributed on both the Balkan and Apennine peninsulas, exemplify one of the many diversity patterns characteristic of the Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot. To better understand these patterns, we examined the genetic and morphological variability, as well as the present day and Last Glacial Maximum (LGM)

The Levantine Basin - crustal structure and origin [PDF]

, 2006
The origin of the Levantine Basin in the Southeastern Mediterranean Sea is related to the opening of the Neo-Tethys. The nature of its crust has been debated for decades. Therefore, we conducted a geophysical experiment in the Levantine Basin.

Geographic Patterns of Intra‐ and Interspecific Diversity of Riverine Fish Species in the Italian Northern Apennines and Ligurian Alps

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigated the suitability of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to identify inter‐ and intraspecific diversity patterns of riverine fish populations across the Adriatic and Ligurian drainage basins in Northern Italy. Our results revealed genetic as well as community differentiations, with the Adriatic side displaying higher taxon richness ...

The deep record of the Messinian salinity crisis: Evidence of a non-desiccated Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

, 2015
This research is focused on a complete reexamination of the evaporite facies present in all the cores that cut through the topmost deposits of the Messinian salinity crisis lying below the floor of the Mediterranean Sea (DSDP Legs 13 and 42A, ODP Legs ...

Carya nux‐taurinensis comb. nov., a fossil‐species incorporating Carya globosa (Juglandaceae)

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The type material of the almost forgotten fossil‐species Juglans nux‐taurinensis is newly analysed, a lectotype is designated, and new conspecific material detected at the Italian type locality La Morra is described. We show that Juglans nux‐taurinensis must be reassigned to Carya because the locule cast of the nutshell shows two inner ...

The implications of K-Ar glauconite dating of the Diest Formation on the paleogeography of the Upper Miocene in Belgium [PDF]

, 2014
The glauconite-rich Diest Formation in central and north Belgium contains sands in the Campine subsurface and the hilly Hageland area that can be distinguished from each other.

Late Miocene Mediterranean desiccation: topography and significance of the 'Salinity Crisis' erosion surface on-land in southeast Spain: Reply [PDF]

, 2000
We welcome this opportunity to amplify the results of our studies of the Late Miocene Messinian sequence in the Sorbas Basin of southeast Spain. The Salinity Crisis concept has captured geological imagination and found its way into textbooks, but ...

Unsteady Gypsum Cycling as a Driver of Cryptic Perturbations in the Ancient Carbon Cycle

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Earth's sedimentary record preserves large, intermittent deposits of evaporitic gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) that invoke the possibility of rapid changes in past seawater chemistry. In particular, strong imbalances between gypsum weathering and burial may drive changes in Earth's carbon cycle because calcium is a component of both gypsum and calcite ...
