Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea) associated with native trees in Malta (Central Mediterranean) [PDF]
In the present study 25 aphid species which are known to be associated with trees in the Maltese Islands are recorded. Of these, 18 species represent new records; these include Aphis craccivora, Brachyunguis tamaricis, Cavariella aegopodii ...

Stand-level drivers of tree-species diversification in Mediterranean pine forests after abandonment of traditional practices [PDF]
The progressive abandonment of traditional forest management over the last few decades has led to significant densification processes in most Mediterranean pine stands.

Elevation, rather than land use, causes important dietary shifts in the Mediterranean golden eagle
In an ever‐changing landscape, golden eagles in the Iberian Peninsula demonstrate remarkable dietary adaptability. We monitored 50 distinct breeding events over 4 years using camera traps, collecting over 520 000 images. Elevation, rather than land use, emerged as the main driver of prey composition: lagomorphs and columbiforms dominated at lower ...

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Plasticity in dendroclimatic response across the distribution range of Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) [PDF]
We investigated the variability of the climate-growth relationship of Aleppo pine across its distribution range in the Mediterranean Basin. We constructed a network of tree-ring index chronologies from 63 sites across the region.

The addition of wildfire fine ash particles (particle size < 20 μm) in Mediterranean summer seawater can increase prokaryotic growth and alter community composition over time, likely through the release of both inorganic and organic substrates by ash particles and by inducing changes in the composition of phytoplankton populations.

Effect of two successive wildfires in Pinus halepensis stands of central Greece [PDF]
We estimated differences, five years after a wildfire, in soil and vegetation between Pinus halepensis stands that were once burnt (1998) and stands that were burnt twice in a short time interval (1995 and 1998), in the area of Penteli, central Greece.
