Tourism as a driver of economic and social development in underdeveloped regions

Regional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Cross‐border cooperations have been usually approached by developing trade agreements between international regions to upgrade their socioeconomic conditions and promote international tourism flows in territories. However, little attention has been paid to the role that tourist companies play in underprivileged territories highly dependent on ...

From glacial echoes to timber pathways: Climatic–historical drivers and timber‐trade influence on the phylogeography of Ips sexdentatus in the Basque Country

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ips sexdentatus is expanding across southern Europe, attacking multiple Pinus species and showing the ability to colonize trees at early stages of decline. Genetic analysis of 668 individuals revealed 106 haplotypes, with Iberian populations as diversity hotspots, reflecting long‐term refugial persistence alongside more recent demographic expansion ...

Cataloging the Alien Flora of the Costa Brava (NE Iberian Peninsula): New Findings and Updates in a Plant Invasion Hotspot

Diversity
The Costa Brava, a Mediterranean coastal strip spanning ca. 250 km (in NE Spain), is a hotspot of plant invasions. To address this issue, the LIFE medCLIFFS project was launched to improve the management of invasive species along sea cliffs in the region.

Macau as Method: Recombinant Urbanism in Post‐Socialist China

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In ‘Asia as Method’, Chen Kuan‐Hsing argues for the value of an indigenous inter‐Asian approach to analysing the effects of European imperialism on the countries and citizens of Asia. This article mobilises both Chen's inter‐Asian referencing strategy and the city‐state of Macau to explore Macau's role in China's engagements with global ...

TOOTH MORPHOTYPES SHED LIGHT ON THE PALEOBIODIVERSITY OF MIDDLE TRIASSIC TERRESTRIAL VERTEBRATE ECOSYSTEMS FROM NE IBERIAN PENINSULA (SOUTHWESTERN EUROPE)

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia
The Early to Middle Triassic is a key time interval in tetrapod evolution. After the end-Permian biotic crisis, harsh environmental conditions due to global warming and aridity persisted during the Early Triassic.

Early Bronze Age Copper Circulation in the Guadalentín and Segura Valleys (SE Spain)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Identifying the sources of copper used in Early Bronze Age metalwork from south‐east Spain is key to resolving a long‐running debate concerning centralized control, or lack thereof, over El Argar society's economic organisation. This study provides the first substantial integrated programme of EDXRF and MC‐ICP‐MS analyses for copper‐base ...

Modern Fire Safety Protocols in the Archeological Contexts: A New Tool for Studying the Health and Behavioral Effects of Fire Use in Semi‐Closed Spaces

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, integrated with controlled fire experiments, to investigate combustion processes in semi‐closed spaces. The framework enables systematic modeling of smoke dispersal, particulate transport, and hearth performance under variable morphologies and ventilation ...

Late Iron Age and Early Roman Brooches From the Lower Rhine Area: Provenance of the Metal Supply Traced Through Lead Isotopes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geochemical analysis of five brooch types from the Lower Rhine area dated to the last century bc and first century ad is used to constrain resource use, exchange and mobility. Lead isotope ratios demonstrate an Iberian provenance for copper in bronze Late Iron Age brooches.
