Palaeoglaciations in the Polar and Subpolar Ural Mountains

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The Ural Mountains form a major physiographic boundary between the East European Plain and West Siberia, both repeatedly glaciated during the Pleistocene by the Barents–Kara ice sheet. Although the present‐day topography reflects significant glacial modification, the extent, chronology and interaction of mountain glaciers with the Barents–Kara ice ...

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

Time‐stressed Bar‐tailed Godwits exploit novel prey during migratory fuelling

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Long‐distance migratory birds breeding in the Arctic face challenges as earlier snowmelt shifts the timing of vital resources. To keep up with these advancements, birds will need to modify their migration. Higher fuelling rates during stopover have been identified as a critical mechanism for accelerating migration, but this requires adequate food ...

Geolocation reveals wintering sites of near‐extinct Caucasian breeding sea duck

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
We obtained 14 sets of full annual cycle geolocator tracks from 13 individual nesting female Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca from the relict Caucasian population at their last remaining breeding site, Lake Tabatskuri, Georgia. Results showed that females wintered at widespread discrete localities in Ukraine, around the coasts of the Crimean Peninsula and

Assessment of genetic polymorphism in sea buckthorn (Hippophae L.) of different environmentally-geographical origin by ISSR-markers

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017
Sea buckthorn, despite of high popularity at the moment, is not a common object of genetic researches. Some efforts of foreign scientists in this field are concerned with only big systematic groups like species and subspecies.

Governing and Living Through Failure: Russian Speakers in Ethnocentric Nation‐Building Projects of Estonia and Latvia

open access: yesNations and Nationalism, EarlyView.

Room to regenerate: microhabitats and the recruitment niche as drivers of mountain woodland restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Natural regeneration is an efficient, minimal‐intervention approach essential for facilitating resilient, self‐sustaining ecosystems during woodland restoration. However, recruitment can be slow, uncertain, or highly restricted, particularly in mountain woodland systems where tree planting and large herbivore management are ...

Utopia Remembers: The Soviet Past in the Imagined Communist Future

open access: yesThe Russian Review, EarlyView.
Abstract After a twenty‐five‐year hiatus, the reappearance of utopian literature in 1957 prompted Soviet literary watchdogs to corral the subgenre into an ideologically‐acceptable mold. A key requirement was for future generations to be depicted as reverently commemorating the past.

Living in the Mycelial World

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...
